BREAKING NEWS: Iconic Prophet T.O Obadare, pioneer CAC evangelist dies at 83

Iconic Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) evangelist and a pioneer Christian preacher, Prophet (Dr.) T. O Obadare is dead. He was aged 83. He died in his home beside CAC Koseunti, Akure in Nigeria, according to his New York-based son, Pastor Abraham Obadare.

The first time such a report was published was in 2010. It however turned out to be false.

Baba Obadare as he is fondly called was very active in the early days of evangelical ministration in Nigeria following in the footsteps of the late Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola. Even while others later balkanized Christianity and turned it into money making and jet traveling venture, Obadare remained a humble man of God who depended on the scripture rather than material things as major motivation for embracing Christianity.

He was the founder of the World Soul Winning Evangelistic Ministry (W.O.S.E.M) which he founded in 1974. Although legally blind, he commanded a large following.

His death is a major blow to the era of Christians who believed in piety and humble living.
