ADIEU PASTOR TAYO ADEYEMI

Pastor Tayo Adeyemi was born in Leeds, England to Nigerian parents. 

He received the call of God upon his life while doing a summer vacation job in 1981. Sitting behind an office desk, doing his work, he saw an open vision, in which Jesus Christ walked into the room and told him:” I want you to take my sheep out of the dry places and feed them in green pastures”.

While in medical school, he founded a students’ fellowship, which grew to a movement of more than 3,000 students in well over 30 Nigerian Universities and colleges in a space of five years. He was also actively involved in starting three chapters of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship in different parts of the country.

He returned to England with the intention of pursuing a residency programme in General Surgery and later, Neurosurgery. It was in the midst of this pursuit that God called him to start New Wine Church, which has now grown to a strong congregation of approximately 2,500 members in the London Borough of Greenwich.

Alongside pastoring a church, Tayo’s ministry is highly sought after around the world; and he addresses well over 300 audiences every year. Besides travelling extensively around the UK, he has ministered in nations such as Australia, Cote d’Ivoire, India, Kenya, Malaysia, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, South Africa, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates and the United States.

He died on Sunday, the 30^th of June. Prior to his death, rumours had it that he had been wheel-chair bound for a while. He is survived by a wife and three children.
