In 1996, the wife of the General overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God ("RCCG") Pastor (Mrs.) Folu Adeboye (also known as "Mummy Go") visited the missions' fields in West African area. Her findings can be summarized in one phrase "that the missions urgently required assistance." This led to the birth of West Committee that focused on assisting all RCCG missions in West Africa sub- regions by ensuring that they have the basic infrastructure with which to function. The scope of the committee was enlarged to include the rest of Africa after Mummy GO again visited the missions in central, east and South Africa. The name of the committee was changed to African missions committee. To date, the committee has chapters in Abuja and Lagos.
