Pastor S.O. Lawal
23rd of November of every year is all about the District Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church, Odokekere, Ikorodu, Lagos, Pastor S.O. Lawal.
This is because the Minister of God par excellence was born on this day 50 years ago making this year's birthday his golden jubilee.
The Celebrant was born and originated from Ibadan, Oyo state. His elementary school and 'O level' was in Ibadan before he pressed on to Lagos for hustling and bustling as God granted him the best in His sight.
God called him into the ministry and led him to plant CAC Unlimited Grace (located at Eyita phase 1, Odokekere, Ikorodu, Lagos) in 2012 which has now grown to the level of District Headquarters. The District comprises four assemblies including the district headquarters.
Pastor Lawal is a prophet by calling whose ministerial journey cannot be told without mentioning Late Prophet Michael Ojo Olowere because he served under him as a member and church worker.
The celebrant is happily married to Evangelist (Mrs.) Lawal Olayemi Olapemo over a decade ago and their union is blessed with children (Obaloluwa, Esther and Elizabeth). Mummy Lawal has been a wall round Pastor Lawal which really confirms the saying that 'behind every successful man, there is a woman.'
Part of activities scheduled to commemorate the 50th birthday today is a praise night programme where a renowned gospel singer, Evang. Dare Melody will minister. Also, CAC Unlimited Grace, Odokekere District headquarters will be celebrating her 11th anniversary on Sunday November 26, 2023.
