PASTOR (MRS) YEMISI ASHIMOLOWO
“I thank God that I never listened to the Unilag lecturer who warned me against marrying Pastor Matthew, otherwise, I would have probably ended up in one room corner here in Lagos. But see how my life has turned out to be, travelling all over the world to preach and minister. The lecturer never saw any future in Pastor Matthew as a Pastor. When I married Pastor Matthew, I just wanted to be a full-time housewife but he was the one who really discovered me and saw the beauty of God in my life. So, he mentored me to be what I am today.”
Born on the 27th of September 1959, to a Pastor of the Foursquare Gospel Church, the fireful woman of God never looked forward to marrying a Pastor until God changed her mindset. “Marrying a Pastor was the last thing on my mind, my Dad is a Pastor and as a Pastor’s daughter, I dreaded marrying a Pastor. My Dad has two brothers that are Pastors also but of different denominations. I never really wanted to marry a Pastor but God knows the plans He has for our lives and they are always better.”
Pastor Yemisi is the Resident Pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), the largest and fastest growing Church in Western Europe. Since its establishment in 1992, Pastor Yemisi has witnessed KICC increase from 200 adults and 100 children to thousands in attendance every Sunday at the main Church and branches.
As the Resident Pastor of KICC (Headquarter Church) and the head of KICC’s Winning Women Ministry, Pastor Yemisi oversees the spiritual lives of more than 5,000 women. Through regular meetings and special events, Pastor Yemisi actively reaches out to the individual woman of God through the following ministries: the ‘Successful Wives’ (married women), the ‘Ladies-in-Waiting’ (single women), the ‘Mothers-in-Waiting’ (wives believing God for the fruit of the womb), the ‘Positive Parents’ (single mothers) and the ‘Senior Sisters’ (mature women of God – aged 50 and above).
Her personal ministry is to equip women of God with the necessary knowledge, gifts and talents to enable them to reach their potential in Christ. Through the Word of God, Pastor Yemisi helps women to break free from personal, societal and environmental limitations. She is a special gift in particular to women in ministry; challenging and encouraging them to discover and fulfill their calling and purpose.
An accomplished and sought-after Speaker, Pastor Yemisi’s uncompromising delivery of the Word has been a blessing to thousands in the UK, Europe, USA and Africa.
As a genuine lover of people, Pastor Yemisi not only brings the Word but sows practically into the lives of the people where she ministers. Many have also testified of the signs and wonders following her powerful ministry. Pastor Yemisi is married to Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, the Senior Pastor of KICC and they are proud parents of two sons, Tobi and Tomi.
May the Lord keep glorifying His name in her life in Jesus name!
