    Adebayo Asogba

    Born and raised in Nigeria, Pastor Adebayo Asogba has been in the pastoral ministry for twenty-four years. During this time, he has been a seasoned teacher and preacher of the Word for fifteen years and has served in various leadership positions. Currently, he is a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, North America, with the Jesus House, Antioch, and Silicon Valley congregations.
