I’m Adekeye Daniel Ifetofunmi—though many know me fondly as Adeife1—and I was born on the 11th of October. Reflecting on my journey, I see that every step of my life has been a testament to my faith, passion, and commitment to the Gospel. Growing up in Kwara State, Nigeria, I was instilled with values of community, integrity, and purpose, values that have guided me into becoming the leader I am today.
From an early age, I felt a calling to serve others and to lead by example. This passion naturally steered me toward a life dedicated to ministry. Today, as the main leader of the GNI Evangelical Team, I consider it an honor and a sacred responsibility to preach the Gospel and inspire men to embrace Christ. My role as a seasonal preacher allows me to share the Good News with clarity and conviction, and my heart is set on building and strengthening the youth body of Christ. I truly believe that by nurturing young minds and hearts, we pave the way for a brighter, more hopeful future.
In my personal life, I am blessed to share my journey with my beloved wife, Adekeye Deborah Juwon. She is not only selfless and passionate but also an unwavering pillar of support in both my personal and ministerial endeavors. Her love and encouragement have been instrumental in every step I take, and together, we strive to create a harmonious balance between family and faith. Her presence enriches my ministry and helps me remain grounded as I navigate the challenges and triumphs of life.
My calling also led me to establish the GNI Evangelical Ministry, a platform dedicated to spreading the Gospel and providing spiritual guidance to those in need. Founding this ministry was a dream come true—a dream that allows me to touch lives and make a lasting impact on the community. In parallel with my ministry, I’ve embraced my passion for music and the arts by serving as a sessional teacher for AdeIfe Musical and Instrumental Grand Training. Teaching music has given me the opportunity to guide aspiring talents, nurturing their skills while emphasizing the spiritual power of musical expression.
My leadership journey extends beyond the pulpit and the classroom. I had the privilege of serving as the president of the Christ Apostolic Church Students’ Fellowship, where I learned the importance of unity, service, and vision. Later, I further honed my leadership skills as the president of the Business Administration departmental fellowship at Federal Polytechnic Offa. These experiences enriched my understanding of leadership and deepened my commitment to serve my community with passion and diligence.
Today, alongside my ministerial and educational roles, I am proud to walk the halls of a private school as a teacher. In this role, I have the opportunity to shape young minds, instill values of discipline and resilience, and share the timeless wisdom of our faith. Each day, I strive to be a beacon of hope, guiding others not only through words but also by setting an example through my actions.
Every facet of my life, from my early beginnings in Kwara to my current roles as a preacher, educator, and mentor, is interwoven with the threads of faith, purpose, and community. I am grateful for the opportunities to lead, to teach, and to make a difference, and I remain ever committed to my calling. Also a gratitude to my good brother who introduced me here @rockingfinger . My journey continues, guided by the light of the Gospel and the enduring love of God.
