Daystar Unveils Next-Phase Vision to Commemorate 30th Anniversary

Sunday Ehigiator

The Daystar Christian Centre has concluded its 30th anniversary celebration with a global thanksgiving experience that highlighted its core legacy; lives transformed through consistent teaching, empowerment, and practical Christian leadership across three decades.

The two-day event, themed ‘A Mosaic of Changed Lives’, held on November 15 and 16, 2025, brought together thousands of worshippers onsite and millions online.

The celebration featured a special impartation session by Bishop David Oyedepo, worship led by Minister Dunsin Oyekan, and participation from top ministry leaders, government officials, and business executives.

Speaking during the anniversary, Senior Pastor Sam Adeyemi reaffirmed that the ministry’s success is best measured not by structures, but by the lives changed through its values-driven approach to ministry.

“The truest evidence of the church’s calling is seen in thousands of changed lives; ordinary people becoming role models in society,” he said. “God did not call us to build a large church. He called us to build strong people who reflect His character, competence, and capacity.”

The celebration featured remarkable testimonies, including that of Pastor Seyi Oladimeji, Daystar’s pioneer administrator who is today a global consultant and author.

He recounted how the church laid the foundation for his leadership development and capacity-building journey.

Another emotional moment came from Dr. (Mrs.) Adelanwa, who shared how God blessed her with children after years of waiting, alongside significant career breakthroughs; a testimony she attributed to the atmosphere of faith and sound teaching at Daystar.

Their stories mirrored those of countless others; entrepreneurs, students, professionals, and families; who traced their life transformations to Daystar initiatives such as the Daystar Leadership Academy, Daystar Skill Acquisition Programme, Daystar Business Academy, and community outreach efforts including the Back-to-School programme, which has supported thousands of children across Lagos.

Deputy Senior Pastor, Nike Adeyemi, reiterated the ministry’s long-standing commitment to compassion and nation-building. She highlighted Daystar’s educational outreach programmes that continue to provide school support for thousands of children in Lagos, emphasizing that, “Empowerment remains Daystar’s core identity; lifting families and strengthening communities for national development.”

Across the anniversary weekend, testimonies poured in from attendees worldwide, each reflecting the impact of the church’s unwavering focus on faith, leadership, and empowerment.

The celebration concluded with a multi-centre thanksgiving service as Daystar unveiled its next-phase vision centred on digital discipleship, leadership incubation, and expanding its global community impact.
