Our Story
God’s Love Tabernacle International Church, Houston (GLT Houston) is an extension (branch) of GLT worldwide.
"A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this." (Psalms 22:30-31)
In October 2005, the Lord spoke expressly to Pastor Segun and Funke Obadje who were in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria to leave the city and start a work for Him in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria, and on the 11th of November, the couple set out on this path of Obedience and Faith. On the 4th of February 2007, 14 months after, God’s Love Tabernacle International Church popularly known as GLT kicked off in a small room in Ile-Ife with about ten people in attendance and the ministry has since been expanding to accommodate thousands of God’s precious people.
GLT Houston officially kicked off its services in October 2016 at the home of the Set-man Representative (local pastor) with six people. After a few months, we began to hold services at a meeting room in Residence Inn Westchase for about a year.
We have enjoyed testimonies of supernatural provisions, healings, miracles, and much more.

What We Believe
Mission
Vision
We believe that everyone was born with a purpose to fulfill. This purpose has a part to play in fulfilling God’s overall purpose, which is reconciling the world back to him (2 Corinthians 5:11-21). GLT Houston is much more than a church, it is a place where you will discover purpose and will be given the opportunity to express it. We have structures, which include: teachings, preaching, mentoring and stewardship (volunteering) whose aim is to make you a well-rounded individual. ‘Zoe’ is life as God has it; the God kind of life; the same quality of life as God. In GLT, we strongly believe that you can have it all. We believe that you can be at your best: spiritually, emotionally, financially, in your career, relationships, education and much more.
