GOFAMINT Founder, Elijah Abina Lost His Son Few Days Before Dare Adeboye Passed

The General Overseer (GO) of Gospel Faith Mission International (GOFAMINT), Pastor Elijah Abina is in a mourning state after losing his son, Emmanuel Folorunso.

Abina lost his son eight days before Pastor E.A Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) lost his son, Dare.

It was gathered that the son of the 85-year-old Pastor Abina, who is also a founding father of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), died on Wednesday, April 28, but it didn’t make it to the press until now.

Emmanuel was however said to have died after a brief illness.

A statement by the church announcing the demise, signed by GOFAMINT General Secretary, Pastor S.O. Omowumi, said, “With a heavy heart but in total submission to the sovereignty of the Supreme God, we announce the passing onto the glory of our brother, our pastor, and a member of the Executive Council of The Gospel Faith Mission International, Pastor Emmanuel Folorunso Abina, on Wednesday, 28 April 2021.

“Gone too soon but we praise the Almighty God for the life Pastor Folorunso lived and the indelible impact he made in the church, particularly among the youth.

“May the Lord Jesus Christ comfort our General Overseer, the immediate and extended family as well as the church.”

Until his death, the deceased was the pastor in charge of the Kingdom House Assembly of the church located in Festac Town, Lagos State.

He was also said to be the Director of the church media, a position he took on a part-time basis, while he was also the rallying point for youths in the church.
