The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has visited Costa Rican President Laura Fernández during his stay in the Central American country for the National Crusade of Hope.

Adeboye disclosed this in a social media post on Tuesday, saying he was accompanied by his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye, when they visited the presidency.

He said they were warmly received by Fernández and described the visit as an opportunity to strengthen relationships and discuss faith, hope, peace, and the transformation of lives.

“It was a great honour to visit the Presidency of Costa Rica alongside my beloved wife @pastorfoluadeboye during the National Crusade of Hope,” he wrote.

Adeboye said the Christian message transcended national borders, languages and cultures, adding that the church remained committed to spreading the gospel across nations.

“The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not limited by borders, languages, or cultures. Our mission remains to take the message of salvation to every nation, trusting God to bring hope to individuals, families, and communities,” he stated.

He also prayed for Fernández and the people of Costa Rica, expressing hope that the country would experience peace, healing and restoration.

“May the Lord bless President Laura Fernández and the people of Costa Rica, and may this nation continue to experience the goodness and peace of God,” he added.

He concluded his message with a quotation from Habakkuk 2:14: “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”

Photographs shared alongside the post showed Adeboye with his wife, their son, Leke Adeboye, and other church officials.

The visit came as part of Adeboye’s participation in the National Crusade of Hope, held at Costa Rica’s National Stadium in San José on October 17. The event, organised by the RCCG and the Costa Rican Evangelical Alliance Federation, also featured Christian music performers Tercer Cielo and Averly Morillo.
