The Birth of Light Chapel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to a divine mandate to bring light to lives burdened by spiritual darkness, Apostle Ola-Ojo founded Light Chapel in Kano, Nigeria. A branch of the church was later planted in Lagos and which subsequently became the national headquarters when the Apostle moved to Lagos in 1995. What began as a small gathering of believers soon blossomed into a thriving Christian community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under his visionary leadership, Light Chapel became known for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Ministry of Impact and Integrity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apostle Babalola Oluwagbemiga Ola-Ojo\u2019s ministry was deeply marked by integrity, humility, and fatherly grace. He was not only a preacher of the Word but a living example of it.

Beyond the pulpit, he invested significantly in people\u2014mentoring emerging leaders, strengthening families, and offering guidance to all who sought spiritual direction. His influence extended beyond his immediate congregation, touching lives across the broader Christian community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leadership Transition and Enduring Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following his glorious transition, the mantle of leadership passed to his beloved wife, Pastor (Mrs.) Emily Morenike Ola-Ojo, who faithfully preserved and nurtured the vision he established. Her stewardship ensured stability and continuity during a critical season in the church\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
