Thousands of church leaders, entrepreneurs, business executives, professionals and delegates from Nigeria and other parts of the world are expected in Delta State as The Master's Place International Church hosts its 2026 International Founders Conference (IFC) from July 13 to 17.
The conference will climax with the dedication of Dreamland, Master's City, a landmark faith-based development located along KM 3 Refinery Road, Effurun, on Friday, July 17.
According to the organisers, this year's conference, themed "Territorial Enlargement – Give Me More Land" (1 Chronicles 4:10), will focus on expanding leadership capacity, strengthening institutions and inspiring transformational impact in ministry, business and governance.
The five-day event will feature plenary sessions, syndicate meetings, Fresh Fire services and impartation sessions designed to equip participants with practical leadership principles and strategies for personal, organisational and national development.
Founder of The Master's Place International Church, Pastor Korede Komaiya, and his wife, Pastor Esther Komaiya, will host the conference, which will feature some of the world's leading Christian ministers and teachers.
Among the guest speakers are Bishop David Oyedepo, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, Dr. Mike Murdock, Dr. Mensa Otabil, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, Dr. Paul Enenche, Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo, Pastor Poju Oyemade, Rev. Tony Akinyemi and Pastor Bolaji Idowu.
A major attraction of the conference will be the unveiling and dedication of Dreamland, Master's City, described by the organisers as a world-class faith, leadership and development centre established to drive leadership training, education, innovation, media, missions and community transformation.
The organisers said the facility is the fulfilment of a long-held vision to build an institution that will serve as more than a place of worship, functioning instead as a centre for raising visionary leaders, nurturing excellence and advancing Kingdom influence through innovation and service.
The dedication ceremony is expected to draw ministers of the gospel, government officials, captains of industry, diplomats and other distinguished guests from within Nigeria and abroad.
Beyond its spiritual significance, the conference is also expected to stimulate economic activities in Delta State as visitors patronise hotels, restaurants, transport operators and other businesses throughout the week-long event.
Organisers noted that the International Founders Conference has grown into one of Africa's foremost platforms for founders, ministry leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals, fostering leadership development, strategic partnerships and the exchange of ideas on ministry, enterprise and nation-building.
Following the dedication of Dreamland on July 17, a special Thanksgiving Service will be held at the facility on Sunday, July 19.
With anticipation building ahead of the event, stakeholders say the conference and the unveiling of Dreamland, Master's City, will further reinforce Delta State's reputation as a destination for major international faith-based and leadership gatherings while showcasing its capacity to host world-class events.
