Rev. Wole and Azuka Gbogboade
Rev. Wole Gbogboade was born into a devout muslim family. His father was a high ranking Imam(Muslim Cleric) who would go to any lenght to ensure that his beloved son and heir of his mosque would take-over from him as an imam.
To achieve this purpose,he enrolled Wole to an Islamic school right from childhood. Also, my father sent me to a private elementary School to prevent influence of christianity in my life; then, christian mission schools were many and because of their good academic and moral standard, it was the choice of many parents for their children. After my elementary school education, my father enrolled me at Islamic High School, Ibadan, Oyo state of Nigeria to perfect my standing in Islam.
However, the comparatively better moral life and family set-up of my Christian Teenage peer group began to attract me to christianity. But,the fear of my parents especially my dad would not allow me togive it a serious thought to take the necessary step of faith.I was not bold enough then, to think of the repercursion albeit persecution that will confront my decision to become a christian.I also love my parents so, i didn't want to do anything that might hurt them.
In my final year in the University of Ibadan, i made up my mind to become a christian but,until i finished and took up a job in 1979 did i have the courage to attend church service for the first time since i was born in 1953. And i have been convinced since 1964.Thank God for my fiance who had been given me clandestine disciplineship to the best of her ability. This gave me the boldness to tell my father and the persecution was expectedly fierce. It affected my emotions and my whole life was under pressure. But I thank God for His grace who set me free by the knowledge of the truth. (John 8:32).
In 1980,i stopped praying the Muslim way completely. In 1990, I was converted and i left everything for Christ.
In 1993, I resigned my Senior Managerial post with multinational company, KIWI (Nigeria) Ltd. Also I resigned my post of President, Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International, Inland-Town Chapter, Onitsha to go into full-time ministry.
