On this day in 2008, the Faith Tabernacle, headquarters of the Living Faith Church International aka Winners’ Chapel, was listed by the Guinness World Records as the world’s largest church….

With a sitting capacity of 50,400 people and an overflow for 250,000 people, the edifice is reputed to have been built with wholly Nigerian input-man and material.

Winners’ Chapel was founded by Bishop David Oyedepo in 1981 and has since become a global network of churches with congregations in 34 countries.
