“I have always admired the courage with which the Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, stands by his convictions. He says what he believes, even when it isn’t the easiest thing to say, and through his ministry, so many people have found their faith.”
“As he turns 72 today, I pray that God continues to keep him in good health and grants him many more years of service to Nigerians and humanity. Happy birthday, Sir,”
We wish Papa Bishop David Oyedepo a joyful 72nd birthday. May God continue to bless him with good health, strength, wisdom, and many more years of impactful service. Happy birthday, Papa!
