Bishop David Oyedepo, Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, commonly known as Winners Chapel, has announced that the Federal Government has approved the construction of an airstrip for Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland.

Speaking during the Tehillah Night Special Edition at Covenant University Chapel, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State on Sunday, Oyedepo shared how this new development will facilitate easier travel for him, allowing him to bypass commercial airports.

“I am sure you will be glad to know that the Federal Government has approved an airstrip for Canaanland,” Oyedepo stated. “I won’t need to fly a helicopter to the airport. I can leave from here to wherever I am going. Members with their planes will have where to land and park.”

The airstrip is expected to improve transportation for worshippers and visitors, especially during large gatherings for church programs, which often attract thousands of people from across the globe.

During his address, Oyedepo also urged his congregation to discover their purpose in life, using Covenant University graduates who now fly him as an example of success.

“Won’t you be glad to know that there are some captains that fly me who are graduates of Covenant University? We don’t have an aviation department here, but they found their place in God and went after it. That’s what this university is all about, it’s not about boxing you up. It’s about allowing you to locate God’s plan and pursue it accordingly. Young people, don’t play away your life, you don’t have a spare,” he said.

The Tehillah Night Special Edition was a thanksgiving event held in honor of Oyedepo, who recently celebrated his 70th birthday in September.
