AYETORO CHURCH 2

SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH II, OKE-URO, AYETORO-EKITI
The church started on the 3rd of December, 1998 through the efforts of church Elders and Pastor Aina, E. O., the District Pastor. The Elders were: Late Akinola Michael and Akinola Emmanuel. History had it that a week revival was conducted by the mother church, Ayetoro Church 1 during the time of Pastor E. O. Aina and this led to the birth of Church 2 in Oke Uro, Ayetoro-Ekiti. The church was inaugurated on the 2nd of January, 1999 by Pastor A D Obaya, the Publishing Director of the defunct South West Nigeria Conference sent by the administration from the headquarters at Akure.
The church started with 12 members with Late Pa Jacob Ajihinrere who freely gave his big sitting room for worship.
Thus, the two families started going there to worship on the Sabbath and not quite long, Pastor E. O. Aina called some members from church 1 to join them, who together can be referred to as the first generation members and the church kept progressing. It was a pity that after some months, Elder Michael Akinola slept in the Lord. “May we meet together in God’s kingdom”. Amen.
Elder Emmanuel Akinola continued in the faith and cause the church to progress without looking back. Later, Pastor Aina was transferred to another station and Pastor J. K. Afolayan took over from him as District Pastor.
To the glory of God, more people joined them and the church membership kept growing. Today, the church is having 41 baptized regular members, both old and young.
By the power of God, the church got land through Mr. Oluponmile, an Anglican Church member in Ayetoro. To the glory of God, the church has her building on this land today
Glory be to God. The Church was organized on October 8th, 2016.

CONCLUSION
We thank God for His marvelous work in Ayetoro. We enjoin every church member to remain committed and faithful to the living God and His course. We also pray that God will continue to increase the church in all ramifications.
As all of us are expecting Christ’s second coming, we pray that we shall go with Him to heaven when He comes. Amen.
