Legacy of Faith: Pastor Festus Orabiyi’s 75th Birthday and 40 Years of Ministerial Service Celebration
In a grand celebration, Pastor Festus Orabiyi, the Zonal Superintendent of Bethel Zone, Christ Apostolic Church, marked a milestone birthday and four decades of dedicated service to the Lord. The event was a testament to his unwavering faith, commitment, and the impact he has had on countless lives.
Born on March 13, 1951, in Osun State, Pastor Orabiyi’s journey is one of remarkable transformation. From a successful career in civil engineering to becoming a revered minister of the gospel, his life is a shining example of God’s grace and favor. He established Victorious Engineering Companies, which undertook numerous infrastructure projects, including the construction of the First Baptist Church, Yaba, and Beta Hospital in Orile-Agege.
However, it was God’s call that led him to surrender his engineering business and embark on a new path, establishing Bethel Christ Apostolic Church. For 40 years, Pastor Orabiyi has been a beacon of hope, guiding countless souls to Christ and demonstrating the love of God through his ministry.
In his heartfelt message, Pastor Orabiyi expressed gratitude to God for the privilege of serving Him and for the unwavering support of his family. He emphasized the importance of trusting in God’s promises, citing Isaiah 23:3, and encouraged others to remain steadfast in their faith.
Mrs. Orabiyi, the pastor’s wife, shared her testimony of her husband’s unwavering faith and God’s faithfulness. She advised ministers’ wives to prioritize their relationship with God, enabling them to support their husbands and endure the challenges of ministry.
Their son, Pastor Dr. Joshua Orabiyi, described his father as a man of integrity, love, and generosity, favored by God in all he does. The celebration was a joyous occasion, with friends, family, and well-wishers gathering to honor Pastor Orabiyi’s legacy of service and dedication to the Lord.
