General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, is celebrating the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, on his 79th birthday.

In a tweet on Saturday, Adeboye prayed for Kumuyi to “finish strong and end very well”.

“Happy birthday beloved Pastor W.F Kumuyi.@PastorFAAdeboye and I join the rest of the world to celebrate God’s faithfulness in your life, family and ministry,” he wrote.

“May you finish strong and end very well in Jesus’ name.”

Kumuyi was born June 6, 1941 into an Anglican home. He was a mathematics lecturer at the University of Lagos before he became a preacher.

In 1973, Kumuyi started a Bible study group with 15 university students. This group metamorphosed into the Deeper Life Bible Church.

According to his church’s website, Kumuyi was expelled from the Apostolic Faith Church in 1975 for preaching without “credentials.”

Kumuyi lost his first wife, Abiodun, in 2009. He remarried in October 2010 to Esther Folashade.
