<p style="text-align: justify;">RESIDENT PASTOR</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>PASTOR HEZEKIAH ILUFOYE</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">HOME BACKGROUND/BIRTH PLACE</span></b><b>:</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is no river without a source, neither is there a man without his origin. Every human being, whether rich or poor, has his source. Painfully, as it might be, nobody has power over the choice of where he or she is born or come from. The One and Only Supreme Being who created the universe and everything therein, makes it His exclusive right. It is one of the mysteries God kept to Himself. You and I never know when and where we were conceived until we grow up and started to probe into history.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the light of the above, Pastor Hezekiah Olawale Ilufoye could therefore, be traced to a settlement in Odo-Otin Local Government Area in Osun State, Nigeria, called Ekosin, a rustic Yoruba community which is  one of the three major tribes in Nigeria.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He hails from Oke-Ayo Quarters in the community. His father was Mr. Joseph Ilufoye, while his mother was Mrs. Ayoola Ilufoye. H. O. Ilufoye comes from a typical African home of a polygamous setting that lives a subsistent life, with farming as the chief occupation of the parent. His mother, Ayoola occupies the second position in the rank of three wives his father had. H. O. Ilufoye is the second and last male child, and the fourth of the eight children God granted his parent. It is sweet to note that both parents were Christians and of Christ Apostolic Church faith until their death. H. O. Ilufoye therefore, did enjoy the privilege of being brought-up with other siblings, in the family in the way of God by his parent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">EDUCATION/CAREER:</span></b> H. O. Ilufoye received both formal and informal education. As a matter of fact, the Yoruba people of Nigeria have a very rich culture which is being jealously protected and passed from generation to generation. He is a full-fledged Yoruba man with a deep knowledge of the tradition and history of his people. He was brought-up among his own people and was privileged to be sent to school to receive formal education in the four-walls of a classroom. He is well-cultured and of good character.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He attended Baptist Primary School, and later proceeded to Baptist Modern School, all in Ekosin. He obtained his West African School Certificate after successfully completed his Secondary Education at Baptist High School, Iree, in Osun State.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">MINISTERIAL CAREER:</span></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For reason of lack of sufficient fund, he did not make it straight to tertiary institution as he had wanted. He had no choice other than to follow the path chosen for him and make best use of it. Eventually, H. O. Ilufoye was called into the Ministry as an Evangelist in-training at Christ Apostolic Church, N0 2, Ede in Osun State between1984 and 1985.  He endured every hardship to acquire necessary experience and basic knowledge as a servant of God in CAC Mission before he went into the field.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In pursuit of relevant education in his calling as a Clergyman, he attended Christ Apostolic Church Evangelist/Prophet Training College in Ilesha in 1986 - 1987 He obtained a Diploma Certificate in Church Ministry at ECWA Theological Seminary, Igbaja, Kwara State, Nigeria in 1996 after four years of rigorous learning and researches.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OTHER EDUCATIONAL FORAYS:</span></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even when he had accepted the call to Evangelistic ministry as a career, H. O. Ilufoye still ventured into other areas to acquire more knowledge, since no knowledge is a waste. His thirst for capacity development prompted him to diversify into Engineering Survey, in Nigeria in 1983-1984; a Nursing Assistant training in USA in 2001; Training as a Phlebotomist in USA in 2003. The icing on the cake of his educational adventure was the award of a Bachelor of Religion from the Liberty University in USA in 2011 after excruciating four years of academic researches and studies. Being a lover of education, in no distant time, higher certificates would flow in as he has made a humble vow to continue to learn and engage in critical studies as much as God and situation could allow him.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WORKING EXPERIENCE</span></b><b>:</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From his humble beginning as an Evangelist/Catechist in training which dated back to 1984, H. O. Ilufoye’s diligence, hard work, humility, faithfulness and high sense of devotion has made him a rare servant of God for this generation. Without an iota of doubt, H. O. Ilufoye has written his name on the sands of time in golden ink in all the stations he has served and still serving.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Whether in Ikirun where he began as a full-time Evangelist between 1986 - 1988 and was in Christ Apostolic Church Ashi in Odo-Otin LGA were he served until 1993 when he was ordained as a Pastor by the authorities of Christ Apostolic Church, or in CAC Oke-Igbala Oyan, 1994-1996 and at CAC Oke-Itura, Fate, Ilorin (1996-1997) where he was given the post of acting District Superintendent, H. O. Ilufoye had made a good name for himself as a dependable and reliable Minister of God, who does not speak with double tongues. He is always forthright and known with the best practices as contained in the tenets of Christ Apostolic Church and supported by the Holy Bible.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">His special calling which is rooted in Church Ministry, prompted him to found Christ Apostolic Church, Salvation Center, Fate/Tanke, Ilorin in 1997, as well as Christ Apostolic Church, Holy Ghost Zone, Ilorin in 1999. Other churches he founded and freely handed over to authorities of Christ Apostolic Church are: Christ Apostolic Church, Budo Igbaja, and Ekusa in Osun State 1993; Christ Apostolic Church, Salvation Centre, Baltimore, Maryland, USA in 2002 and Christ Apostolic Church, Salvation Centre Oakland, California, USA in 2006.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In recognition of H. O. Ilufoye’s sense of duty and responsibility, he was elevated to the position of a District Superintendent by the authorities of Christ Apostolic Church in 2006 and was made a Chairman in 2010, and a member of General Executive Council of the Church.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">STATUS:</span></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pastor H. O. Ilufoye has a rare privilege of having the “bone of his bone” as his help-mate and life-partner, Miss Victoria Olufunmilayo Ogunronbi from Iree Osun State. This is a marriage consummated from heaven by God, the author of wedlock.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mama Victoria Ilufoye is an epitome of womanhood, a virtuous woman with a special knack for home-keeping. It would be an under-statement to say Mama loves her husband and children. She is a woman who gives “her all” to her husband. She dedicates her life to the Ministry God put her husband.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By profession she is a sowing-mistress, and later joined the team of nursing at her arrival in USA as a means of support for family and ministry.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mama wears a twin-cap of honor.  First as a mother and a home- maker and second, as a full-time working -class house-wife. Mama is very energetic, loving, caring and very agile. Her mien and character is a beauty to behold. Yet in all this great virtues, Mama is as harmless as a dove. She is a great asset to the family and woman-hood in general. She plays a great role in the growth of the Ministry God chose for her husband. No wonder Baba refers to her as a great pillar of the family.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The wedding is blessed with four great children, properly raised in the ways of God. They are Enoch, Deborah, Israel and Christiana.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">HOBBIES:</span></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All works and no play, they say makes Jack a dull boy. H. O. Ilufoye is aware of being sociable. He mixes freely and engages in keep-fit activities to keep his body and soul together. As time allows him, he loves swimming, soccer and outdoor engagements like excursion, picnics and tourism.</p>
