How Apostolic Faith official lead me to Christ – Pastor Kumuyi reveals

Members and followers of the Deeper Life Christian Ministry were filled with excitement after the General Superintendent of the church, Pastor William Kumuyi, revealed a former official of The Apostolic Faith, Pa Elijah Dosunmu, was the person who led him to Christ.

Pa Dosunmu is a 83 years old man who lives in Lagos State, where he runs a school.

Pastor Kumuyi narrated his encounter with the octogenarian last Sunday during a private commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the church with some leaders at Gbagada, Lagos State.

The revered preacher recalled how Dosunmu invited him to The Apostolic Faith, and he (Kumuyi) gave a condition that Dosunmu must also attend his church, the Cherubim and Seraphim, where he was a drummer.

Kumuyi said after his guest attended the C&S church, he (Kumuyi) asked him to share his thoughts on the service, and he replied, “active”.

According to Kumuyi:

“He didn’t say, ‘It was bad, calling the name of angels.’ He just said, ‘active’. He is a good man.

“So, I accepted to go with him to the gospel church. But it was too quiet. People just sat down, they sang and they stood up, there was no dancing, gymnastics, nothing!

“And so, when we came out, he also asked me, ‘How was it?’ I did not have the wisdom they had or anything. But I said, ‘It was too quiet, like somebody in a cemetery, no dancing. I miss the dancing in my church.’

“So, eventually, he invited me again, and I kept on going, and I began to see the light, and on the 5th of April 1964, I went to the altar, surrendered my life to the Lord and became born again.

“And he kept on doing the follow-up and teaching me gospel songs with another friend. Both of them were responsible for making me switch over completely, and eventually, I became saved, sanctified and baptised in the Holy Ghost. He was a great encouragement to me; that’s why I said I should call him out and show his face to you that this is the man, the brother, the minister that God used for me,” he added.

Kumuyi further commended Pa Dosumu for giving him shelter on different occasions.
