How do I begin to tell the story of my Father-Son relationship with one of God’s beloved generals, the consummate teacher, the evangelist, the Pastor extraordinaire Stephen Akinola? When the Lord brought us together sometime in 1977, it was the culmination of many weeks and months of my craving to live a life dedicated to God and His gospel. Pastor Akinola was on hand as my Art Teacher during his Youth Corps years at FGC PH to bring the gospel personally to me. He answered some of my curious questions, broke down all known and unknown myths about Christianity and ushered me into the Kingdom. I have Pastor Akinola to thank for moulding me spiritually and professionally. His tireless exploits in the work of the Lord has earned him his crown of glory. Praise God! He is with the Lord resting from his labours and I am particularly grateful for his service. He was a man who epitomized kindness, love, faithfulness, uncompromising delivery of the the Word of God in its purity, a loving husband to his beloved wife and father to his natural and spiritual children. May the face of God continually shine on all he achieved while on earth and the glory of God surround him in the bosom of our dear Lord Jesus Christ. Rest In Peace daddy, till we meet to part no more. Glory!
