“It’ll Be Like a Movie”: Pastor Jimmy Odukoya Says, Raises N9.2m for Members During Service

  • Two members of Jimmy Odukoya's church went from coming to church with just their faith to getting their prayers answered
  • In a video shared on his page, the pastor called out the two individuals who needed money to pay for their tuition
  • The actor-turned-pastor eventually raised N9.2m for both of them as his members pledged different amounts in local and foreign currencies

During a recent service at The Fountain of Life Church (TFOLC), Jimmy Odukoya changed the story of two of his church members.

The actor, who recently took up the senior pastor role at his late dad's church, in a video called out two members who had indicated that they needed help.

The young man needed N140 thousand to complete his tuition and ended up leaving with N680 thousand pledged by a man.

The lady needed $7500 (N6.5 million) and after church members, present and online, donated to her cause, N8.6 million was raised for her.

Jimmy Odukoya has assured the lady that it would be like a film trick, but as long as she believed, she would leave with the amount she needed.

Recall that the pastor's dad Taiwo Odukoya recently passed away and was laid to rest in September.

Jimmy Odukoya captioned the post with:

"The year might be almost over but we are still in the season of CREATIVE MIRACLES!"
