Lady Evangelist Elizabeth Folasade Adebayo marks 70 years milestone

All roads led to Alapere, Ketu-Lagos as family, friends, church members associates, proteges and beneficiaries gathered to celebrate a major milestone in the life of Lady Evangelist (Mrs) Elizabeth Folasade Adebayo who clocked 70 on  October 15, 2025, at a birthday reception.

The atmosphere was filled with love, laughter fond memories and a lot to chew, eat and drink.

The celebrant who is the Director of Evangelism, C.A.C Deliverance District Ketu Lagos is a mentor, influencer, catalyst,  and a gospel music artist of no small repute with several albums to her credit.

She was beaming with smiles full of praises to God who has not only made the day, but make it to come to reality in her life. Hence, with joyful noise, drama, melodious songs, the celebrant, her guests and well wishers had to rejoice in it.

Who is Mummy Adebayo?

According to Pastor Philip Adewumi in his tribute saw the celebrant as a prayer warrior who likes to turn people’s weeping to laughter, and sorrow to joy. A woman who makes praise/worship her daily lifestyle. A destiny lifter and a unique generous woman to all and sundry.

To Deaconess (Dr.) Florence Adetutu Oni, we fondly call her ‘Mama Dasiwa’ through one of her songs in one of her albums. She is not just an Evangelist, and a prophet but an artist. A lover of God and humanity, loving and affectionate who is always willing to help. A mother not only to her biological  children but all the children in her neighborhood.

One of Mummy’s daughter, Mrs. Ayodeji Michael-Oni, sees her mother as the best mother on earth who is worthy of emulation. A role model who is full of love for all her children and grand children above all, the only woman who is worthy to be her father’s wife.

According to Pastor Ezekiel Olu Adebayo, the celebrants husband, after several other people that came out to give their testimonies recalled his search for his wife from the four corners of Nigeria, how he met her in the church as a fellow chorister and later discovered that they had many things in common. Both of them were fair in completion to the extent that while he was being called “Oyinbo” among the male folks she was also referred to as “Oyinbo” among the female folks.

They became friends then, two plus two became four before one plus one eventually became one. Since then, he found her to be his friend, mother, sister, companion, confidant soulmate and wife.

Pastor Olapade Timothy of CAC Ore Ofe District took the guests through the word of exaltations while Pastor while Pastor Oluwasaye John of CAC Ogo Oluwa District, prayed for the celebrant and his family and all the guests for the grace to continue to live a Godly life and remain raptureable at the end of their earthly race. Thereafter, the celebrant was presented with gifts while dinning and winning continues. She and her guests took to the dancing floor in continuation of the celebration to the glory of God.
