    OLUSEGUN S. I. O. OBED
    Senior Pastor

    REVEREND OLUSEGUN S. I. O. OBED (Ph.D.) Pastor Olu Obed, the president of International Christian Outreach Ministries (ICOM), and the founding and Senior Pastor of Dayspring Church, New York, was saved, by the grace of God in 1986. The same year joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Lagos, Nigeria, where he was discipled, trained and ordained a minister of the gospel. Pastor Obed served in various capacities, including in church planting teams in the RCCG while in Nigeria until he and his wife, Pastor Elsie Obed, relocated to the USA as pioneering pastors for the RCCG in 1991. For the next ten years Pastor Olu Obed served as a member of the RCCG North America Board of Coordinators, and continued to serve as a church planter, as well as the Coordinator in charge of New Church Planting, and Coordinator Legal and Immigration Matters. In 2003, Pastor Obed retired from the RCCG ministry to answer the call from God to come out to a different ministry. The same year, ICOM and Dayspring Church were established to pursue this new call. Pastor Obed preaches and teaches the Word of God without compromise. He strongly believes in the ministry of Reconciliation founded on love, discipling of the body of Christ to raise the next generation of Covenant-Servant-Leaders, in answer to the call of the Master, Jesus Christ, on him to raise for the Lord an Army of Witnesses. Pastor Obed and his team of faithful saints hold several Urban Crusades annually around New York City. He is available to train churches and groups in evangelism, conduct seminars on Christian Marriage, Discipleship, and Leadership Development. Reverend Obed is a graduate of the University of Jos, Nigeria where he obtained a B.Sc. in Management Studies and an MBA in Financial Management and Advanced Accounting. He holds a Ph.D. in Conflict Resolution from Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary, Newburgh, Indiana. Dr. Obed (The Viceroy) can be reached at 646.391.5112; email: [email protected]
