2026 KWARA Camp Meeting Report

Theme: Liberation; thou art loosed

 

We thank God for His mighty power; the 2026 Kwara Area Camp Meeting could be tagged “A Miracle Camp Meeting”. The possibility of holding the camp meeting was very dim but God surprised us beyond our expectations, and changed the difficult situation to the extent that the memories of the camp meeting will linger with us for quite a while.

MINISTERS’ AND WORKERS’ CONFERENCE

The Ministers’ and Workers’ Conference which preceded the camp meeting commenced at 9.00 am on Friday, April 10. 

After a short organ prelude, two congregational songs were rendered and a short prayer by Brother Sunday Fadesire, the Area Overseer, Rev. F. S. Fadipe introduced the WECA representative, in person of Rev. Samuel Adeyerimi.   

The highlights of the Ministers’ and Workers’ Conference included two video clips on “The Servant Leadership” and “General Instructions for Service” by Rev. Sola Adesope, the Superintendent General of the Apostolic Faith Church worldwide. Excerpts of the first clip  included the need for us to follow our Leader – Christ, who made Himself of no reputation or zero reputation. As servants, we are the properties of our owner who is Christ. Therefore, we were enjoined to live our lives in absolute dedication to the will of our Master. Church leaders are to see themselves as servants rather than persons ruling with authority and power. It was pointed out that Jesus will say to His overcoming saints, “Welcome, thou good and faithful servant”, elevating service above status. Leaders were also advised to maintain a learning attitude, saying “we are still learning” rather than “we have learned”. This admonition was followed by a session of prayers. 

The second video clip focused on the congregation’s response to changes in church leadership. Emphasis was placed on showing love among members and between leaders and members. 

Additional instructions included key attributes expected of Christians, especially workers:

• Study the Bible (2 Timothy 2:15) 
• Bring a physical Bible to church rather than relying on phones or tablets 
• Ministers should prioritize prayer, as it influences the congregation 
• Develop empathy by learning to understand others 
  
  A short break followed this before Brother Isaac Aremu expatiated on “Ministerial Responsibilities”, with the text taken from 1 Timothy 3. It was emphasised that the primary responsibility of a minister is to preach the Word. It was also noted that no church grows in isolation; therefore, churches should connect with WECA and other branches. Ministers are to support the work in every possible way, with the central task being to lead people to Christ.
  
  Brother John Abolarinwa, from Osun Area, delivered a teaching on Ministerial Relationships. He  stressed the importance of balancing ministry and family life, noting that neither should be sacrificed for the other. Marriage requires intentional effort, attention, and continuous growth.

He further taught that:

• Conflicts are inevitable but should be resolved in a godly manner 
• Communication must be handled carefully, as words can build or destroy 
• Couples should appreciate and esteem one another, expressing gratitude regularly 
• Affection should be shown (Ephesians 5:25) 
• Forgiveness and mercy should be practised (Colossians 3:12–13) 
• Couples should pray for one another and prioritise their home alongside the Ministry 
  
  He concluded by reminding ministers that their marriage is also part of God’s work and must not be neglected.
  
  Further exhortation was given on pastoral responsibilities: shepherds should seek the lost, heal the sick, encourage the weak, be approachable, responsive, gentle, and genuinely concerned about their members (Acts 20:28).

  Rev. Adeyerimi attended to a few questions that were raised before taking us through the fundamentals of street meeting evangelism. The conference was rounded up at about 3.11pm.

  Brother Agbaje delivering a teaching at the conference

  Brother Charles Agbaje in his delivery on the topic “The Use and Dangers of Social Media”, explained that social media could be beneficial if used rightly and would pose dangers if not used in the right ways. Social media, could be a good media for outreach. It can travel widely and globally and it could be used for evangelism. Email, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and other social media platforms could be used to propagate the Gospel and spread the Good news around. But the devil can also use it to spread evil reports, and other propagandas. As such, we must be careful not to be enslaved to our phones and other medias.

  This teaching was followed by another session led by the WECA representative, who discussed outreach programme strategies with practical demonstrations.

  The Workers’ Conference was concluded at 3:11 p.m. with a closing prayer, after which attendees proceeded to the cafeteria for lunch.

  SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ CONFERENCE

  There were two Sunday School Teachers’ Conferences held during the camp meeting. The first came up on Saturday, April 11 and the second on Saturday, April 18. Both conferences took place in the main auditorium. The Review of the Elementary Sunday School lessons started at 9:00 am, while that of the Adult lessons followed at 10:00 am.

   

  SUNDAY SERVICES

  Sunday April 12, 2026

  The first Sunday of the camp meeting was remarkable, marked by deep spiritual encounters, rich teaching, and vibrant worship.

  Many Ministers and Workers were already in the prayer room by 7.30 am and an extension had to be created to accommodate more workers. The organ prelude started at about 8:40 am to begin the Sunday School. Our children from Ilorin Zone set the tone by staging a programme titled: Liberation. The programme was very inspiring and challenging. Classes were divided into just three for time management and effective teaching. These were: The English, Yoruba and Kitchen Staff classes.

  Brother Michael Folaranmi, our Jebba Zonal Coordinator taught the Yoruba central class in the auditorium.

  All groups studied the lesson “The Former and the Latter Rain,” making it a time of rich spiritual learning. Significantly, the lesson coincided with the 120th Anniversary of the Latter Rain Outpouring of the Holy Ghost in Azusa, Los Angeles in 1906, drawing a meaningful parallel to the 120 disciples filled with the Holy Ghost in the upper room — an indication of God’s intention to do something great in this season.

  

  Brother Aremu at the Sunday School review session

  A general review session, conducted by Brother Isaac Aremu, followed. It was engaging and insightful, reinforcing the key points in the lesson.

  Devotional Service

  The Devotional Service began at approximately 10:45 a.m., opening with an orchestra rendition of “Trumpet Tune,” which set a reverent and celebratory tone.

  The choir ministered at intervals with powerful renditions, including:

• “O Day of Rest and Gladness” (Choir & Orchestra)

• “The Lord is My Light and Salvation”

• “The Love That Won My Heart” (Duet)

• “Salvation Has Been Brought Down”

• “Jesus of Nazareth”

• The service featured congregational singing, prayer, and announcements. Greetings from across the globe included messages from Brother Sola Adesope our Superintendent General, Brother Isaac Adigun our District Superintendent, Brother Akin Ajayi, our former Kwara Overseer and Brother Samson Jimaza.

  A parent brought their new baby for dedication same day adding to the significance of the service.

  Sermon

  The sermon was delivered by Brother Samuel Adeyerimi (WECA Representative), titled “Liberation: Thou Art Loosed.”

  Drawing from Joel 2:21–32 and Isaiah 61, the preacher assured the congregation of God’s intention to do great things and emphasized that all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered.

  Referencing Luke 13:10–13, he illustrated how Jesus sets the bound free, encouraging believers to release every burden — whether sickness, poverty, or spiritual bondage — through faith in the power of the resurrection.

  The message concluded with a powerful altar call, leading many into a time of prayer and spiritual renewal. Many tarried in prayer at the altar and God really visited His people.
   

  CAMP MEETING CONCERT

  The concert which started at 5:00 pm, was opened with a congregational song, followed by a congregational prayer and a welcome address by the Area Overseer, Rev. F. S. Fadipe.

BIBLE TEACHINGS AND REVIVAL SERVICES

Monday April 13, 2026

The morning session commenced with a reverent organ prelude, played by a female organist, which set a solemn tone for the service. This was followed by the orchestral rendition of “My Faith Looks Up to Thee.”

The choir further uplifted the congregation with “Salvation Has Been Brought Down,” while the male choir delivered a powerful rendition of “Glorious Freedom.” A total of 294 recorded blessings was reported in the announcement, including: 49 salvations, 14 sanctifications, 3 baptism of the Holy Ghost, 63 healings and 145 re-anointings.

The highlight of the morning was the Bible teaching on “The Great Atonement.” delivered by our Osun Area Overseer - - Brother Abel Adedayo.

The teaching provided a comprehensive exploration of the Atonement — its meaning, necessity, effectiveness, practical application, and characteristics. Drawing from scriptures such as Leviticus 4:20, Hebrews 11:4, 1 Corinthians 15:22, Romans 3:13–14, and Hebrews 9:11–12, the preacher established a strong biblical foundation for the teaching.

He further emphasised the provision of the Atonement for physical healing, citing Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24, Exodus 12:5–7, Psalm 91:1, and John 17:2. The message concluded with a 

solemn warning from Hebrews 2:3, stressing the importance of personally appropriating the benefits of the Atonement.

The service ended with the altar call leaving the congregation deeply grateful for both spiritual and physical blessings received.

The momentum of the day continued into the evening with a Revival and Evangelistic Service. The service commenced at 5:30 p.m. with an organ prelude, followed by a violin duet playing the “Angel Voices.”

The choir ministered through songs such as “Since I Have Been Redeemed” and “Nothing is Too Difficult for Thee.” Following brief announcements by Brother Bamigbola, the congregation sang Hymn 385, preceding a testimony session for gospel workers. The choir then ministered “Jesus Will Give You Rest,” setting the tone for the evening message.

The sermon, titled “Come, I Will

Give You Rest,” was delivered by Brother Shadrach Niniola, our Offa Zonal Coordinator. Drawing from Matthew 11:28, Psalm 107:1–18, and Jeremiah 29:11–12, he addressed the burden and consequences of sin, pointing listeners to Jesus Christ as the only source of true and lasting rest.

Tuesday April 14, 2026

On Tuesday April 14, the morning teaching commenced with a solemn organ prelude, followed by the orchestra’s stirring rendition of “March of the Men of Harlech.” The choir then led the congregation into a deep posture of worship with the hymn “Come, Holy Spirit,” reflecting the overarching theme of the day. Following a brief session of announcements, the choir ministered again with “Let Thy Mantle Fall on Me.” This transitioned into a reflective testimony session, allowing worshippers to share personal experiences of God’s grace. The session was beautifully crowned with a quartet rendition of “The Old Time Fire,” serving as a fitting prelude to the day’s teaching by Brother F. S. Fadipe titled “Spiritual Power for Effective Service,” with the foundational text taken from Acts 1:4–8.

Brother Fadipe teaching on “Spiritual Power for Effective Service”

The message centered on “the power to do and to act,” presenting a clear and uncompromising truth: the power of the Holy Spirit as indispensable for any service that seeks to fulfil its divine purpose. The teacher emphasized that without this spiritual empowerment, human effort alone remains insufficient. Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, he illustrated that whenever God commissions His people for a task, He first equips them with divine power. He referenced Judges 11:29, 32–33 to demonstrate this pattern in the Old Testament.

Building on this, he offered a heartfelt and contextual prayer for revival, declaring: “May God raise Elijah in Kwara,” referencing the prophetic succession and double portion of the Spirit in 2 Kings 2:9, 19.

He further highlighted the lives of Apostles Peter and Paul as New Testament examples, noting that their extraordinary effectiveness in ministry was a direct result of their complete immersion in the power of God.

The Bible Teaching service served as a powerful reminder to the Kwara Area congregation that effective Christian service is inseparable from the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

Through a blend of inspiring musical worship and deep scriptural exposition, the service reinforced this timeless biblical principle. The session concluded with a closing hymn and a call to the altar, where many responded in prayer, seeking fresh spiritual empowerment.

The evening Service of Tuesday was another refreshing time in the presence of the Lord. Brother Isaac Faniyi from Oyo Area delivered a very powerful sermon which was concluded by his personal testimony on how God met him and delivered him from the shackles of the devil marking a new beginning in his life. The altar was packed full and people prayed earnestly seeking the face of the Lord

Wednesday April 15, 2026

The day marked another vibrant day at the Kwara Area Camp. The day was characterized by fervent prayer, active community outreach, and profound scriptural teaching, all of which contributed significantly to the fellowship and the unity of participant

Like any other week day, it commenced early with Morning Prayer from 5:30 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. in the main auditorium. Immediately afterwards, at 6:00 a.m., the Youth Department embarked on a Morning Campaign and compound cleaning by brethren from appointed stations.

Brother Akanbi expounding the Scripture on “The City of Refuge”

The teaching titled “The City of Refuge” was delivered by Brother Joseph Akanbi, our Zonal Pastor at Omu-Aran.

In a clear and insightful exposition, our teacher examined the historical and spiritual significance of the Old Testament cities of refuge, explaining how they served as sanctuaries for those seeking protection. He then drew a parallel with contemporary Christian life, illustrating that these cities symbolize God’s enduring mercy, protection, and grace.

He emphasized that God remains the ultimate refuge for believers today, encouraging the congregation to continually turn to Him in times of fear, uncertainty, and distress. By relating Biblical truths to everyday life, the message highlighted the importance of unwavering trust in God and the pursuit of righteous living. The congregation responded attentively, taking notes and engaging in quiet moments of reflection and prayer. The altar call at the end of the teaching witnessed an inspiring ardent prayers to God.

There was a Youth Service in the afternoon, which commenced at 2:30 p.m. This session featured praise, worship, and exhortation aimed at encouraging young believers to remain steadfast in their faith. The sermon was preached by Sister Joke Aina.

The day concluded with a Revival and Evangelistic Service at 5:30 p.m. with a heart searching sermon by Brother Michael Folaranmi. Through heartfelt worship, corporate prayers, and impactful preaching, many participants were stirred to renew their commitment to God.

 

Thursday April 16, 2026

Thursday was another insightful day deeply centered on the spiritual architecture of the family, beginning with an intensive morning Bible Teaching service and transitioning into an afternoon Family Seminar. The entire day proceedings emphasised the vital role of Christian homes within the broader spiritual community.

The orchestra and choir presented a clarinet solo medley featuring “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” “There’s Not a Friend Like the Lowly Jesus,” and “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”

The theme of the day was further introduced through the choir’s rendition of “Happy Marriage is from God,” followed by a powerful performance by the male choir titled “Dare to Stand Like Joshua.”

 

A teaching on “Christian Homes and Families” being presented by Brother Itanola

The Bible teaching, titled “Christian Homes and Families,” was delivered by Brother Titus Itanola, drawing the foundational text from Psalms 22:30. The teaching emphasized a crucial distinction between a house and a home — while a house is merely a structure, a home is defined by the people and the spiritual values within it. The message addressed the challenges faced by righteous families, noting that godly generations may face opposition from the secular world, illustrated through the account of Cain and Abel.

It was a deeply practical and spiritually enriching teaching, stressing the importance of building families on a firm biblical foundation.

The altars were filled with seekers who prayed diligently to God on this important issue of life.

The focus on family life continued into the afternoon with the Family Seminar, which commenced at 4:00 p.m. The seminar featured an engaging panel discussion, where various questions relating to marriage and family life were raised. The panel, consisting of experienced married men and women of God, provided insightful, practical, and scripturally grounded responses. Through this interactive session, participants were equipped with valuable guidance on building and sustaining godly homes. Brothers F. S. Fadipe, Titus Itanola, Abel Adedayo, Sisters Victoria Adedayo and Oladunni Idowu were the members of the Panel.

Friday April 17, 2026

At 2:30 p.m., the Young People’s Service held in the auditorium beginning after a one-hour prayer session held in the prayer room. The service lasted until 3:45 p.m. We thank God for His manifest presence, evidenced by the deep spiritual engagement as many tarried in prayer.

The Ordinance of Breaking of Bread service started at 5:00 p.m., this was followed by the Washing of the Saints’ Feet ordinance. The two services came to a close at about 8:45 p.m. We appreciate God for His presence and for the reminding us of these sacred ordinances.

SUNDAY APRIL 19, 2026

The last Sunday of the camp meeting opened with a farewell programme presented by the Omu-Aran Elementary Sunday School children who challenged us with the illustration of the biblical story of the woman who was bent over for many years but was healed and delivered by Jesus Christ in the temple on the Sabbath day. During the presentation, they sang “He Touched Me.” They also rendered “Glory Hallelujah, I Shall Not Be Moved” and concluded with the closing song “A ki yin ku Odun.”

Brother Charles Agbaje handled the combined Adult and Intermediate Yoruba class, while Sister Yinka Bamigbola taught the combined Adult and Intermediate English class.

The Sunday School lesson studied was “Who Is on the Lord’s Side? The teacher emphasized that those who remain pure in times of widespread iniquity will be delivered in times of common calamity.

A key takeaway from the review was a caution, that those leading others into sin can repent and be forgiven, while those who were led to sin may later face severe consequences if they refuse to turn back.

Devotional Service

The morning devotional service began at 10:45 a.m. with an organ prelude. The orchestra rendered “Zwess March in D,” followed by a choir-orchestra piece titled “Sing Hallelujah Amen.” They also presented “We Praise Thee, O Lord” and “Hallelujah Amen.”

• Endurance brings eternal rewards

• Salvation in Christ sustains believers unto eternity

• Temptation is inevitable, but one only falls when yielding to it

• Trials may come, but God will never forsake His people (Deuteronomy 4:31)

• Believers should pray without ceasing

Youths were especially encouraged to remain steadfast in the face of temptation, drawing inspiration from Joseph, who remained faithful despite trials and was eventually elevated by God.

The altar service followed at 12:37 p.m.

TESTIMONIES

 

Divine Vindication: A Testimony of God’s Deliverance

“I thank Jesus in glory, for there is truly power in Him. I am sharing this testimony today to declare that when I thought my life had reached a dead end, that was exactly when God showed me He had only just begun.

My journey started with just a school certificate. I found myself working at a brewery, a lifestyle that quickly dragged me into heavy drinking. But it was right there, in that darkness, that God found me. He saved my soul, sanctified me, and baptised me with the Holy Ghost and power.

After my conversion, the Spirit of God whispered to me, urging me to further my education. By His grace, He helped me reach the highest academic point, and He blessed me with a happy home and wonderful children.

I stand to testify today to praise God for his deliverance from a severe crisis a trap I never thought I could escape. Three years after I had stepped out of office as a Dean of my Faculty, I was accused to have signed a document that, in reality, had been altered by someone else.

Unknown to me, that one of the Heads of Departments had connived with some other members to alter the Departmental requirements for admission into a higher degree, used this to offer admission to an unqualified candidate, signed the necessary paperwork, and brought it to me for my endorsement and I did trusting his judgement. The mastermind behind this plot deliberately went on leave when it was his turn to sign, placing a proxy in his stead to alter the paper. Years later when it was discovered, the investigation began, he directed the investigators to me, as the former Dean, claiming he knew nothing about it.

The Panel set to investigate the matter concluded that I was guilty. As the situation grew tense, I continued to pray to God for the Vice-Chancellor was disappointed in me as a Christian. The VC accepted that the two of us deeply involved in the matter will be allowed to defend ourselves before the University Senate. I engaged God to deliver me from a matter I knew nothing about. At the Senate hearing my Accuser was allowed to be the first speaker to disallow him from using my words against me.

Just as God shut the mouths of the lions in the den, the Lord shut the mouth of my Accuser. When called upon to present his case against me, the man stood and said, "Well, I thank the Senate and the V.C., I don't have anything to say."

I was then asked to narrate what had transpired, and I truthfully shared everything I knew. When it was time for judgment to be passed, the panel noted that while there are often similar cases where it is difficult to determine what is true or false, the signatures and the sequence of events clearly showed I had no case to answer. God completely exonerated me.”

Brother Afolorunso Dairo, Ikirun Branch Church, Osun State (April 16, 2026)

 

The Blood of Jesus Gave Me Victory

“I want to thank God who saved my soul, sanctified and baptized me with the Holy Ghost and Fire. God has since been blessing me in all my ways. He did me a favour that I cannot forget. As a business woman, I normally go to villages around us to sell my goods. On a particular day, I was waiting for a vehicle that will take me back home but there was none. All the motor cyclists who could transport me insisted on collecting N1,500 fare but I could only afford to pay N800. A particular cyclist came and we bargained for N700. He then requested for the money so he could buy fuel. He bought the fuel, came back to pick me and as I sat on the motor cycle, I said ‘The Blood of Jesus’. While in the bush on our journey, the cyclist referred to my mention of the blood of Jesus, saying ‘Which blood of Jesus? Don’t you know that Muhammed owns all the world; that God gave him power to rule over the world.’ He then asked me to come down from his motor cycle because the way I call Jesus annoyed him. Already we were in the bush, even if he returned my money, how do I get another motor cycle? I then called on Jesus to have mercy on me. The man queried me on still calling Jesus again and again. I told him that I have no other person I can call, and that if the man likes, he can leave me in the bush. He insisted that I should call on Muhammed. I refused. I told him that though I die because of that, I will go to meet my Jesus in Heaven. The man suddenly changed the mode of our discussion. He told me to sit down on his motor cycle and that wherever I was going, he would take me there. I told him that my house is far, but he insisted that he would carry me home without any additional payment, and that was what he did! I praise God. I thanked the man and prayed that Jesus who saved me will equally help him and he said “Amen”.

Sister Folakemi Luke, Bacita Church, Jebba Zone

 

Jesus is a Mighty Healer

“I thank God for coming across this Gospel when I was a youth. Jesus saved, sanctified and baptized me with the Holy Spirit. Through every phase of life God hasn’t left me alone. I am thankful to God today for after last year’s camp meeting, I went back home and not up to two weeks I fell seriously ill but I thank God, the people of God prayed for me and Jesus healed me. The devil didn’t stop there. When my child went to the church and fainted on her knees, God’s people prayed and she was restored. It didn’t end there. One morning she was called for prayer only to realize she wasn’t responding. I screamed from the room for help. A neighbor who is a child of God prayed for her, and God restored her after about 30 minutes. I thank God that He didn’t allow either my child nor myself to be amongst the dead. Children of God pray for me, I want to see Him in the end.”

Sister Elizabeth Oriabure, Offa Church, Offa Zone

 

Jesus Delivered Me from Kidnappers

“I thank God for saving, sanctifying and baptizing me. I was on my way to Ilorin one day, when I was kidnapped. There was scarcity of fuel at the time so it was hard to get vehicles, eventually I found one and I got in and just then they locked the car. When I got to my destination, they didn’t let me alight from their vehicle, saying they need me to testify to something somewhere. I had to take it easy with my trust in God. We got to a police checkpoint and I didn’t say a word, and we eventually got to Osogbo which was way off the route to my destination. They tried their evil power on me but it failed. One of them then asked me if I was a servant of God, and I responded positively. That made him conclude that they cannot kill me. Although they took all the money that was on me, eventually they let me go, and all that happened from 4 pm until 9 pm. (Ajase to Ilorin is a journey of less than an hour). I thank God that I came back to Ajase-Ipo unharmed. I have decided to serve God with the rest of my life. I want to see Him at last.”

Sister Arinola Buraimoh, Ajase-Ipo Church, Offa Zone

God gave me miraculous healing from major fracture on my knees

On 14th April 2024, the last day of our camp meeting, I left the Church after the evening service here at Agbo Oba on a motorcycle. We had a terrible accident before reaching home and I had a compound fracture on one of my knees. Before now, I already had issues with one of my legs for almost five years before this incidence. Surprisingly, while I physically laid on the street at the scene of the accident, I was gone in my spirit, I met myself deeply asleep on my bed in my room. People made a lot of efforts to wake me from my ‘deep sleep’. I woke up to find myself struggling with stones in my hands at the accident scene. The pain was much, people of God came to carry me and prayed for me. I was in the First Aid Room where I stayed overnight; it was indeed a long sleepless night. The second morning I was carried for an X-ray. The result was bad for it revealed that I had a compound fracture on my knees, and besides, I have osteoarthritis and will have to undergo two operations sequentially with six months’ interval, and six months on admission after the second one. The first operation would cost N250,00 naira and the second one N3.6 million. I was asked to come for the surgery in the next one week, failure of which I will not be able to walk again with my legs. The Overseer visited me and I told him what the Doctors said but he assured me that I will walk again and that I will not even need any iron bracelet. I could not walk, I was either carried on a wheel chair or aided by chair to change location. The leg was swollen and I was in serious pain. Though faithless I was, I hung on what the man of God told me, he visited me one day and prayed God to remove the pain, and so God did. My people came to carry me for the surgery and I told them I would wait on God and His promises and they left me for my fate. The end of that week, I slept and I saw in that sleep, a repeat of the people of God who prayed for me the very night of my accident. My two knee caps opened, I saw two holes and thick smoke fuming out of my knees. Surprisingly, I jumped up in my sleep and I woke up to see myself walking on my two feet. That was how I had the victory. Praise the Lord with me.
