Profile

 

Rev. Dr Wole. Gbogboade, was born into devout Muslim family from Abeokuta, Ogun State on 23rd May, 1953 State, Nigeria. My father was a high ranking Imam (Muslim cleric) who would go any length to ensure that his beloved son and heir of his mosque would take-over from him.

To achieve this purpose, he sent me to a Quranic school early in life and a private secular primary school to prevent influence of Christian religious teaching in my life. I attended an Islamic Junior High School to perfect my standing in Islam. However, since my father had returned to his home town, I had to join him. By providence, my father allowed me to attend Baptist Boys’ High School, Abeokuta  since that was one of the few good Schools in my home town then. For this reason, my father insisted I would go from home though, I wanted boarding house.

Thank God for Mission Schools like that which somehow exposed me to Christianity.

 In my final year in the University of Ibadan , I made up my mind to become a Christian, but not until I finished and took up a job in 1979 did I have the courage to attend church service. In 1980, I became a Christian and stopped going to mosque for prayers. Then I started attending church service regularly and praying as a Christian.

 I had was converted in 1990 and wholly surrendered my life to Christ. In 1993, I resigned my Senior Managerial post with multinational company, KIWI ( Nigeria ) Ltd. to go into full-time ministry.
