Bishop David Oyedepo
Bishop David O. Oyedepo received a call into the ministry through a heavenly vision, where he saw a lineup of battered, beaten, tattered, deformed, groaning for escape, and he began sobbing with them. In response to his question, ‘but why Lord?’ God answered, “But from the beginning, it was not so, and now the hour has come to liberate the whole world from all oppression of the devil through the preaching of the world of faith and I AM sending you to undertake this task.” Today, he stands as an Apostle of Faith to the nations, the impact of whose ministry has continued to spread across many nations of the world.

Pastor Faith Oyedepo
First Vice President (Education)
Pastor Mrs. Faith Abiola Oyedepo is the wife of Dr. David Oyedepo, the founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide a.k.a. Winners’ Chapel, and Senior Pastor of Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Nigeria. She propagates the Good News of Jesus Christ along with her husband, in numerous nations of the world, with a mission to liberate the oppressed.
The mandate that culminated into this ministry was received in 1981. She has a ministry to families and homes, which she has dedicated her life to, by showing people the perfect will of God for their homes and relationships. She also has a divine call to make her shoulders available, and enrich the lives of singles in a unique way.
Pastor Faith is endeared to many in Nigeria, and across the globe, especially for her endless work in strengthening the family unit. She has written several books, and maximized various avenues of communication, such as media outlets, to become an authority in the area of family, youth, and women empowerment, as well as marital success.
With her life as a practical example, she has been able to portray a model lifestyle for others to replicate. She has demonstrated in practical terms and through deep spiritual insight, that the home can truly be the Eden that God created it to be.
Her passion has been further strengthened by a recent happening in her life, in which her health was challenged, and she was supernaturally delivered from death. This renewed her zeal and hunger to impact her world. Today, she is back, preaching God’s Word with a renewed sense of urgency and passion. This experience has been captured in her most exciting book, Rescued from Destruction.
Despite all that God has accomplished in and through her, she believes that there are still more lives to impact and that the best is yet to come.
To the glory of God, she has been happily married for over three decades now, with four wonderful grown up children, and grandchildren. It is evident that the hand of God is at work in her life, and God desires to extend that same hand in your direction.
