Superintendent General’s Visit to Cranfield Church – 28/07/24

The Superintendent General of the Apostolic Faith Mission (worldwide) organization, Reverend Olusola Adesope, his wife Sister Tolu, and their three children made a surprise visit to the Cranfield church in Bedford UK. Brother Sola was accompanied by Brother Mark Mfandarahwa, Western Europe District Superintendent, his wife Sister Marble, their two children, and Brother David Ojo who drove them there.
It was a stopover visit after the UK Camp meeting in Mid Wales had just concluded, and they were on their way to London. The Cranfield church saints, some of who were at the camp meeting in Mid Wales, drove directly to the church to welcome Brother Sola and the team he was traveling with, before going on to their respective homes. Those who were not at the UK Camp meeting also came on very short notice.

Brother Sola arrived at Cranfield church at 6:20 pm on Sunday, 28 July. The Cranfield congregation was already in the church, and started singing “You are welcome in the name of the Lord” as the visitors entered the sanctuary. After the welcoming song, Brother Sola greeted the congregation on behalf of the Board of Directors, the saints of the World Headquarters in Portland, Oregon, himself, and on behalf of his wife, Sister Tolu and their children. He then gave a brief speech, highlighting the need for Cranfield saints to be united and prayerful, for them to be successful in reaching out to souls in Cranfield and the surrounding areas. Brother Sola further encouraged all, and prayed the work of God in Cranfield would grow, and for the same to happen throughout Western Europe and the world at large.

The brief visit concluded with a tour of the church building, a photo session, and some fellowship with light refreshments.
Brother Mangere, the newly ordained pastor of Cranfield concluded the visit by appreciating the Adesopes, the Mfandarahwas, and Brother David for making time to branch from their London journey, to visit the Cranfield church.
