About My Family
I was born in the year 1983 into the family of Mr. and Mrs. Badru in Ejigbo, Osun state, Nigeria. I was born into a Muslim family until the Lord showed His love to me and saved me in the year 1998, precisely on December 26. I studied to be an accountant, but then the Lord called me into His ministry November 29, 1999. In the year 2004, I resumed at the Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary to be trained and equipped for ministry and, upon my graduation in 2008, I was called to plant University Baptist Church, Abuja. In the year 2012 the ministerial board of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, on the recommendation of University Baptist Church Abuja, Nigeria, ordained me into full-time gospel ministry. I met my wife, Itunnu, when I was in seminary in the year 2008, and we got married August 29, 2009.
About My Church Plant
The Lord brought us from Nigeria to plant House of Hope for All Nations. We are a church that will reach out to the multitudes of people who have come to this nation and who are coming to this great nation seeking hope, with the mandate to bring them to the only true hope that is in Christ Jesus, that they might become part of the family of the church, developing them to become like Jesus and empowering them to do what the Lord Jesus called us to do, which is to make disciples of all nations, thereby preparing them for eternal life in God's kingdom. Our desire is that the Lord will, through House of Hope for All Nations, birth other churches. At House of Hope for All Nations our message is Christ Jesus the hope of glory for everyone who believes irrespective of their tribe, background, race or colour. Jesus only is our message.
NAMB Church Planting
Demonstrated Christian character is essential for missionaries and chaplains to gain credibility and build community. A missionary is a person who, in response to God's call and gifting, leaves his or her comfort zone and crosses cultural, geographic or other barriers to proclaim the gospel and live out a Christian witness in obedience to the Great Commission. The North American Mission Board supports missionaries serving across the United States, Canada and their territories. Churches are the missionary incubators and sending centers for missionaries through the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries serve in a variety of settings and face tremendous challenges. But the rewards are tremendous and life-changing. Missionaries have the privilege to represent their church and their Father in sharing the gospel as the primary focus of their activity. If you are interested in pursuing next steps as a potential missionary or chaplain from your church, explore the possibilities at namb.net/send-me.
