Premier’s Director of Gospel and Music, Muyiwa Olarewaju, pays tribute to the founder of The Fountain of Life Church, a leader whose investment in the next generation went far beyond the walls of the Church
As I reflect upon the life and legacy of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, the founder of The Fountain of Life Church, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude and admiration. Pastor Taiwo was not just a spiritual leader; he was a visionary, a mentor, and a father figure to many, including his own children, the most well-known probably being the talented actor Jimmy Odukoya, star of The Woman King movie with Viola Davis and John Boyega. It is with deep respect and honour that I pay tribute to this remarkable man who, for me, was a fountain of inspiration and wisdom.
Pastor Taiwo’s journey of faith and leadership began as a young man with a passionate desire to serve God and impact lives. He founded The Fountain of Life Church with the mission of bringing the life-transforming message of Christ to people from all walks of life. His commitment to this was unwavering, and he led by example, embracing both the spiritual and practical aspects of life. Through his teachings, he instilled in his followers the importance of holistic growth, fostering an environment where spiritual, emotional and physical well-being flourished.
