The history of Deeper Life Campus Fellowship cannot be written without mentioning first and foremost the human agent that God used to start Deeper Christian Life Ministry of which Deeper Life Campus Fellowship is just an arm. He is Pastor Williams Folorunsho Kumuyi. Born in 1941, he graduated from the Nigerian Premier University, University of Ibadan, with a first class honours in Mathematics. That same year of his graduation, he was offered the University Scholarship for Doctorate Degree, which he turned down because he had a greater calling and all of us can bear witness to that fact now that he truly had a greater calling. It was in 1973, he founded his famous Bible Study group with 15 people which metamorphosed into a Bible church called Deeper Life Bible Church, a mega-church with branches in several countries of Africa, Europe, USA, Asia, Indian Ocean, to mention a few. The seed of the ministry was planted at Block 2, Flat 12, Ransome Kuti Road, University of Lagos. As a Mathematician, his area of specialization is, “Complex Analysis”. He is still being used by God to solve complex problems in human lives. His ministry is characterized by miracles, signs and wonders. God has used him to heal incurable sicknesses like HIV/AIDS and those healing have been medically attested to. God has used him to melt 27-year old hunchback. God has used him to cure people of cancer. Whatever sickness you can mention that exists on the planet earth, curable and incurable, visible and invisible, complex or real, God has used him to heal them. The Pastor of the largest single congregation in Africa, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, is one of the most sought after foremost Christian preacher in the world. The emphasis of his ministry is freedom from sin, holiness of life and readiness of believers for the coming of the Lord. OUR MESSAGE
