The Deeper Christian Life Ministry has scheduled its Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK) for the Ogun West region from August 26 to 30, 2026, at Anglican Church Grammar School, Abebi, Ota, a suburb near Lagos State. The announcement came from Pastor Joseph Fasanmi, the Deeper Life Bible Church (DLBC) State Overseer for Ogun West, during a press conference on Thursday, August 13.
Fasanmi confirmed that the crusade, themed “Total Transformation Through Christ,” will commence daily at 5 p.m. It is jointly hosted by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), both Ogun West chapters. The event targets residents across Ado-Odo/Ota, Yewa South, Yewa North, Ipokia, and Imeko-Afon Local Government Areas.
Crusade Aims Beyond Religious Gathering
Fasanmi described the crusade as more than a religious event, emphasizing its goal to tackle spiritual, moral, and social needs of the area. He stated, “When the heart changes, homes change. When homes change, communities change. When communities change, nations change.” The crusade convener, Pastor William Kumuyi, General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has spent over five decades in ministry, with the GCK series having reached more than 50 million people across multiple countries and continents.
Free Medical Outreaches and Surgeries
Dr. Olalekan Sokan detailed the medical component, noting that free outreaches begin August 23 with a Maternal and Child Health programme at Landmark Executive Multipurpose Hall, 28 Iyana Joju Road, Ota. Additional outreaches are set for August 24 at St. Michael Junior School, Ota, and August 25 at the Deeper Life Regional Headquarters, Ntabo, Ijoko, Ota. Free surgical procedures—including general, gynaecological, and ophthalmic—will be performed on August 24 and 25 at State Hospital, Ota, and General Hospital, Idiroko, Ipokia Local Government Area. Sokan said qualified specialists will handle all procedures, and prospective patients must attend pre-surgical screening from August 12 to 14, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., at Anglican Church Grammar School, Ota, and Gateway African Church, Ikolaje, Idiroko.
A prison outreach is also planned for August 24 and 25 across correctional facilities in the area, aiming to provide spiritual support and humanitarian assistance to inmates.
Additional Programmes and Community Mobilisation
The crusade will feature the All Believers' Conference, themed “Perfect Deliverance in a Shifting World,” on August 27 and 28 at Christian Pentecostal Mission, Ota, starting at 7:30 a.m. daily. A youth programme, the Impact Academy for Youth, themed “Transformed to Break Limits,” will also run at 7:30 a.m. at the main crusade venue.
Fasanmi appealed to traditional rulers, government officials, community leaders, and the media to support mobilisation efforts, urging residents to attend regardless of religious or social background. The five-day event concludes on August 30, with daily sessions continuing at 5 p.m. until then.
