Pastor Peter Balogun
An Electronic/Communication Engineer started his spiritual journey in 1988, the year he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. After his salvation experience, he joined The Redeemed CHRISTIAN Church of God(RCCG). Later that same year, he became a worker with the mission. Two years after, he secured admission into the higher institution to study Engineering. While in the higher institution, he was an active member of Nigeria Fellowship of Evangelical Students(NIFES), and later following the leading of God, joined the Redeemed Christian Fellowship(RCF), and a year later, became the President of the same fellowship. After graduation, he went in for the one year National Youth Service Corps(NYSC), and joined the Nigeria Christian Corpers Fellowship(NCCF), and served as the Prayer/Bible Study Secretary for his batch.
After the completion of the NYSC program, he went back into the church(RCCG), and soon was given a branch to pastor. The work prospered in his hands so much, that the parish in two years became a zonal headquarters. His obedience to God led him to accepting God’s call to resign his job with Nigerian Television Authority(NTA) to go into the pastoral work full time.
