AVSE Paul Olaniyan, the Shepherd of Bilehou Oshoffa Miracle Land Parish in Chicago, Illinois and the Regional Head of Celestial Church of Christ Region “D” in the USA Diocese who departed from this earthly realm on August 29th, 2023.
The news of AVSE Paul Olaniyan’s demise has left thousands of celestial members in disbelief. This is primarily because Oluso Olaniyan actively participated during the Pastor’s visitation to the USA. He was known for his commitment to peace and his leadership in nurturing the youth for the salvation of Christ.
In a letter signed by AVSE Victor Adewusi, the Diocesan Secretary, the significant role played by the late AVSE Paul Olaniyan is acknowledged and the deep sorrow felt by all is expressed. The letter also includes a heartfelt prayer for God to grant strength to both the grieving family and the Church in coping with this profound loss.
It is devastating to hear and see baba Olaniyan left us. He has left his footprints on the sea shore of CCC in this part of the world and beyond. May Almighty Father grant the immediate family, the Church and friends he left behind the fortitude to bear the loss. Rest in the bosom of Almighty God baba Olaniyan. This is “Senator” as you always referred to me.
