Redeemed Church to build 3-kilometre long church auditorium

The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, announced last week,
through its General Overseer Pastor Adeboye that they will build a
three kilometre long auditorium because the current one they have now,
Redemption Camp, on the Lagos-Ibadan Express Way in Mowe, Ogun state
which was built in 2000 with a capacity to sit one million people
could no longer accommodate the millions of people who attend service
there.
According to pastor Adeboye, the new auditorium will be built at the
mission's camp ground at km 46, Lagos-Ibadan expressway. Some
Nigerians are already criticizing the plan saying the billions that
will spent in building this auditorium, which will only cause more
queues along this express way, could be used for other things, like
hospital, school, farmland, anything that will provide employment -
but then, bringing more souls to the Lord is a good thing! :-)
A 3km auditorium is pretty wide. Do you know how long it will take
youto walk 3km? 35 minutes.
When Redeemed builds this auditorium, it will one of the top ten
churches in the world in area size.
