The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) on Saturday remembered Pastor Dare Adeboye, the late son of the church’s general overseer Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on the third anniversary of his death.
Dare died in his sleep on May 4, 2021 in Eket, Akwa Ibom State where he was based with his family. The 42-year-old was the assistant pastor in charge of region (youth) 35 before his death. He was father to three daughters.
The Dare Adeboye Foundation created in his name celebrated him on social media. Dare’s younger brother Leke Adeboye also did on social media.
“Today, we celebrate 3 years of eternal legacy! Pastor Oluwadamilare (Dare) Temitayo Adeboye’s impact continues to inspire and empower generations. His passion for youth empowerment, education, and leadership lives on through this foundation that bears his name. His legacy is a testament to the power of faith, hope, and love.
“Let’s keep shining the light he ignited! Let’s keep his flame burning bright!! Let’s keep shining the light of love, hope, and opportunity for all!!!” The foundation’s post read.
Dare was buried one week after his death following a farewell service at the Youth Centre in the Redemption Camp.
