Daniel), who serves as the Coordinator of the RCCG Youth Evangelists and the lead pastor of RCCG’s The Envoys at Excellence hotel, Ogba Ikeja Lagos and Silverbird galleria Victoria Island, Lagos.

“Since its inception in 2017, YMR has transformed over a million lives through God’s manifest presence, drawing participants into deeper intimacy with the Holy Spirit. This is not a conference; it is a retreat—an encounter where barriers are broken, destinies are ignited, and believers are equipped to take territories for Christ,” the statement added.
