Pastor Adeboye Pens Emotional Tribute to Wife Folu on Her 78th Birthday
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has celebrated his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye, with a heartfelt open letter as she marks her 78th birthday.
In the emotional tribute, Pastor Adeboye reflected on their 58-year marriage, describing his wife as not only his life partner but also his closest friend, trusted counsellor and steadfast companion in ministry.
While millions know her affectionately as "Mummy G.O.," he said he has the unique privilege of knowing her simply as his wife—the woman who has stood beside him through every challenge, victory and divine assignment.
The respected cleric praised her quiet sacrifices, unwavering faith, compassion and wisdom, noting that her support has made the demands of ministry lighter over the decades.
He also acknowledged the impact she has had on their family and the Christian community, saying her devotion has strengthened countless homes and lives.
In closing, Pastor Adeboye prayed for God's continued grace, strength, good health and fruitfulness upon his wife, expressing gratitude for every year they have shared together.
A Love Story That Inspires Beyond the Church
Pastor Adeboye's tribute goes beyond a birthday message—it is a reminder of the value of commitment, appreciation and partnership in marriage. In an era where public figures often make headlines for broken relationships, the couple's enduring 58-year union continues to inspire many.
His words demonstrate that lasting marriages are built not only on love but also on mutual respect, shared purpose and consistent appreciation. By publicly honouring his wife and recognising her often unseen contributions, Pastor Adeboye offers a powerful example of celebrating the people who stand beside us through life's journey.
As Pastor Folu Adeboye celebrates another milestone, the touching message serves as a reminder that gratitude remains one of the strongest foundations of any enduring relationship.
