Heroes of Faith: Most Superior Evangelist Moses Oluwole Ajao Turns 85

Some stories in the Celestial Church of Christ are written in decades of quiet service. According to a tribute published by CCC Worldwide (credited to Celestial TV Network), Most Superior Evangelist Moses Oluwole Ajao, International Headquarters Representative, recently turned 85.

The tribute says he was born on 7 July 1941 in Ibadan and trained as a mechanical engineer. He joined the church in September 1964 during an open-air revival by Yemetu Parish, Ibadan, and began his missionary journey in 1968 in Ile-Ife.

From there, the account lists service in more than 20 parishes across ten states, including:
- Ijebu-Ode, where Obalende Parish gave rise to Molipa and Ijagun parishes
- Agunloye Parish, the first CCC parish in Akure
- Wire Road, Benin City, and Jos
- Kaduna, as the first Diocesan Evangelist for the Northern Region
- Agidingbi Cathedral in Lagos

In 2018 he was called to the World Headquarters in Imeko to work with Pastor E.M.F. Oshoffa, and he was promoted to Most Superior Evangelist in 2020. He is also described as calm, disciplined and loyal, and he is married to MC Mabel Ajao.

Celeland joins in wishing Baba Ajao more fruitful years.

Over to you:
- Do you remember a shepherd or evangelist whose years of service shaped your parish?
- What lesson does a lifetime in the vineyard teach your generation?
