Several years ago the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian church of God, Pastor Enoch A. Adeboye, asked for a birthday gift from God and requested for a miracle for each member of the church. God then instructed him to invite everyone to a special meeting called the "Holy Ghost Service". This subsequently birthed the beginning of monthly Holy Ghost Nights in Lagos, Nigeria.Today this programme is attended by millions of people from all over the world with amazing testimonies of God’s intervention in several areas of life.

Pastor Adeboye was praying concerning one of the Holy Ghost services when he was given the vision to start simultaneous services in the United Kingdom. This was to serve as a forum to bring together people to pray and birth revival in the UK and thus began the London Holy Ghost Festival of Life. The first London Holy Ghost Festival themed "The New Anointing" was held at the London Arena, Docklands on the 19th of April 1996, with Pastor Adeboye as the sole speaker.

Since then the Holy Ghost Festival of Life has expanded to North America, Europe, Mainland Europe, and several other nations of the world.This programme is coming to Australia at this time.

It will be a time of unusual encounter with God that will result in the salvation of souls, healings, deliverances, answers to prayers and all-around breakthrough.
