In celebration of the 67th birthday of Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) and wife, Pastor Shade, a group of MFM pastors have distributed food and cash gifts to indigent citizens.
The initiative, undertaken by the ‘Six Sons of Prophet DKO,’ aims to alleviate the suffering of the masses and reflect the spirit of generosity championed by Dr. Olukoya.
Pastor Morenikeji Jesusina, regional overseer of South-South Region 7 in Ikom, Cross River State, and coordinator of the Online Deliverance Prophetic Prayer and Revival Team, spearheaded the initiative. Pastor Jesusina highlighted that this gesture aligns with Dr. Olukoya’s dedication to supporting the needy, less privileged, and downtrodden, including widows and widowers.
Describing Dr. Olukoya as father, mentor, and giver, the group emphasized his commitment to soul-winning for Christ and delivering those in captivity. They praised his passion for bringing joy and transformation to people’s lives, both spiritually and physically. This dedication was recently recognised by US President Joe Biden, who presented Dr. Olukoya with the Presidential Achievement Award.
The group includes Mega Regional Overseers Pastor Moses Adekunle, Pastor Patrick Pat, Pastor Samuel Oladejo, and other Regional Overseers such as Pastor Gbenga Aremu, Pastor Oluwole Usikalu, and Pastor Jesusina Morenikeji. They expressed their happiness in following the philanthropic footsteps of their spiritual leader.
“Every July, we celebrate the birthdays of our spiritual parents, Dr. Daniel and Mrs. Shade Olukoya. As the ‘Sons of the Prophet of DKO,’ we have chosen to honor our mentors by distributing food and cash to the public across various locations,” the group stated. “This act brings joy to our father, who is a giver himself, and addresses the hunger in the land. Our beneficiaries include individuals from all backgrounds, as hunger knows no tribe or religion.”
The tradition of giving began in 2022, following online praise sessions in previous years. Beneficiaries expressed gratitude for the pastors’ efforts and praised Dr. Olukoya’s philanthropic influence. Many thanked God for Dr. Olukoya, describing him as a gift to the world.
The initiative underscores the ongoing commitment of Dr. Olukoya and his followers to improve lives and bring hope to those in need.
