Brother T and his team comprising Brother Paul Ibikunle, Sister Esther Ogunfowomu, Sister Yemi Dahunsi and Brother Benjamin Kehinde went on a Gospel trip to Ikirun for dedication of the new church there. Late Rev. S. A. Akinola, the pastor of the Church gladly welcomed the Gospel team and two weeks of revival followed.
Brother T noted in his diary: “The Apostolic Faith was established at Ikirun on 4 September, 1960. The foundation of the first church building constructed was laid on 1 December, 1963 and that of the new church building was laid in the year 1969, which was later dedicated on th the 13 January, 1973.
“The attendance for the dedication was 670. As from the morning 29 hours, brethren from different parts of the Western States began to arrive here for the dedication. Early in the morning, our choir members and workers from Lagos who arrived 1:30am had prepared for the street work while workers led by Brother Ogunnaike from Ibadan, and workers led by Brother E. O. Aina from Ijebu-Ode (who were the first to arrive in the morning) were already set for the street work also. From Abeokuta came workers led by Brother Oshobowale. The dedication took place at 3:10pm with people from different walks of life in attendance.”
House-to-house evangelism was also arranged to invite many people into the services starting from Tuesday as there were two weeks revival meetings to boost the work there after the dedication.
At the time, the Gospel team went to several villages around Ikirun—Ila Orangun, Otan Ayegbaju while other people went for campaign and distribution of the Light of Hope. Several souls were won into the Gospel through these media.
From Brother T's records: “This evening we closed the revival services and shall return to Lagos the next morning. We thank the Lord for what has been accomplished for His mercy endureth for ever. Hope to return here for the dedication of another church very soon should the Lord tarry.” Since then the work continues to progress.
Another Africa for Christ crusade was organized by Brother T in 1974. This time Brother T went with his team and some ministers. On September 3, 1974, the team left the Campground in Anthony Village, Lagos for a three-month tour. The places visited included:
1. Ijebu-Ode and neighboring villages : They were there for a two week revival and campaign round the neighboring villages. Thousands of English and Yoruba Gospel literature were distributed. Many people responded and were greatly blessed.
2. Akure: Revival meetings were held in the church and campaign was made in many of the villages. People were blessed, especially students from higher institutions. One of them who was an alcoholic got saved the same day the team arrived in Akure.
3. Ado-Ekiti: A church formerly called 'Full Gospel Mission' affiliated with the Apostolic Faith Church. The leader stepped down and handed the church over to the Apostolic Faith. Revival meetings followed and many were saved. There was much joy all over the place as sinners decided for God.
4. Ilesa: There were revival meetings and campaign in the town and its suburb. Many were blessed.
5. Ibadan: There were campaign and revival meetings and many people decided for God.
6. Abeokuta: Many were blessed here including a policeman who was wonderfully converted.
7. Kwara State: Many were blessed in Kwara State, especially at Aiyetoro-Gbede where a witch decided for God and was wonderfully delivered. Lokoja, Offa, Omu-Aran, Okenne, Jebba South, Ilorin and many other stations were visited and God did bless them.
8. Lagos and its environs: There were campaign and revival meetings which yielded much fruit.
9. Ghana (Sege): Campaign started here in earnest. There was a lot of distribution of Gospel literature. Recorded songs in Ga language were being relayed all along and this was a big inspiration to the people.
10. Accra: Revival meetings were held and people were mightily blessed.
11. Nsawam and other branch churches were equally visited.
