Deeper Life marks 50th anniversary
The Deeper Christian Life Ministry, founded by Pastor Williams Kumuyi on August 3, 1973, celebrated its 50th anniversary on Sunday with a global service at its headquarters in Gbagada, Lagos.

In his anniversary message, titled ‘Marching Forward with Fresh Vision into the Future Destiny’, Kumuyi said, “50 years have come and gone and there’s a new start, a new platform to rise higher and go beyond everything we have ever done. We come with a new heart, new devotion, new consecration, and new demonstration of deeper love for Christ in Jesus name
