President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has described the late Prophet Timothy Oluwole Obadare, the General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide and Founder of the World Soul Winning Evangelical Ministry, as a gifted preacher and religious leader who overcame physical challenges to carry on the work of evangelism with incredible vigour and enthusiasm.
President Jonathan, according to a statement by presidential spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, extended his deep sympathies to members of the Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide, the World Soul Winning Evangelical Ministry, as well as friends, followers and family of the late Prophet Obadare.
Abati said further in the statement: “President Jonathan says the late octogenarian’s life was an inspiring lesson in the virtues of faith, hardwork and determination. In the course of his many years of diligent service in the Lord’s vineyard, President Jonathan notes that the renowned Evangelist impacted positively on the spiritual lives of many, and gave hope through his acclaimed gifts of prophetic healing.
“The President further observes that Prophet Obadare will no doubt be remembered always for his pioneering role in promoting television evangelism, his uncommon mastery of the Scriptures, and his charismatic leadership on the pulpit.
“President Jonathan prays that God will reward the late Prophet Obadare for his spiritual exploits and service to humanity, by granting his soul peaceful rest.”
