🕊️ In Loving Memory of Our Beloved Pastor Adebayo Elijah Arowolo 🕊️
Today, we remember a true servant of God whose sudden transition to glory left us stunned—but not without hope. Though we mourn, we also celebrate a life poured out in unwavering devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ.
You ran your race with grace, courage, and conviction. A soldier of the cross, you stood firm in faith, sowed seeds of righteousness, and led many to the light. Though I never met you personally, your legacy speaks louder than words—echoing through the lives you’ve touched and the ministries you’ve built.
Heaven rejoices as you enter the home prepared for you by your Master. We thank God for a life well spent, for the example you set, and for the eternal impact you made.
To the family, the widow, and the children: our hearts are with you. May the God of all comfort surround you with peace, strength, and assurance. You are not alone.
Rest on, beloved Pastor, in the bosom of your Savior. Until we meet again, in glory.
