The ministry has over the years evolved into doyen of all prayer lovers and God’s presence seekers all over the globe.

For eight decades, Ori Oke Baba Abiye has consistently been a place of divine encounters, a phenomenon that started with Prophet Samson Akande who had a clear prophetic mandate upon his life and also backed up with profound covenantal proofs that have sustained the ministry till today. The Ministry is today under the progressive and revolutionary leadership of Prophet Timothy Funso Akande, a biological son to the founding leader, Prophet Samson Oladeji Akande and his wife, lady evangelist Adejoke Akande.
