APOSTLE JOSEPH ADELO
LA: 1935 – 2026, A GENERAL WHO FINISHED WELL
Heaven received a patriarch a few days ago. Apostle Joseph Adelola went home to glory on Saturday, 25th July 2026, at the age of 91.
Born in 1935, Apostle Adelola lived a life defined by prayer, sacrifice, and service. He was the founder and General Overseer of Saint Daniels All Christians Assembly, also known as Oluwatosinmile. For decades, he shepherded the church with humility, building it into a house of prayer, healing, and sound doctrine.
To him, ministry was not about titles. It was about souls. He taught that the church must be a refuge for the broken, the weary, and the lost. Under his leadership, countless lives were restored, and many were called into ministry.
But beyond the pulpit, Baba was first a father. His greatest legacy walks the earth today in the lives of his children. He is survived by his beloved wife, Prophetess Abigail Adelola, and his children: Pastor Mrs Odunayo Christianah Ketiku, General Overseer of Christ Like Assembly; Evangelist Eunice Wumi Aderinboye; Pastor Emmanuel Fayape; Evangelist Stella Ajibola; Evangelist Oluwakemi Olumuyiwa Ogunsuyi; Pastor Ebenezer Adelola; and Pastor John Adelola. His joy also multiplied in 34 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren who call him blessed.
Those close to him remember a man of few words but deep convictions. A man who prayed more than he talked, and who gave more than he received.
Apostle Adelola ran his race with faith. He kept the charge. He finished well.
Though we mourn, we thank God for a life that pointed many to Christ. The church he planted, the children he raised, and the altar he built will continue to tell his story.
