Kumuyi’s wife dies at 57 Written by Sam Eyoboka Monday, 13 April 2009 THERE was an unusual calmness at the Deeper Christian Life Camp along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, venue of the church’s just concluded Easter retreat, when news filtered in that the wife of the General Superintendent of the church, Mrs. Biodun Kumuyi had passed on. Mrs. Kumuyi, 57, mother of two — John and Jerry — was said to have died on Saturday, a day before the end of the retreat.
The death of the first lady of the church, who was hardly known by members of the church, did not deter the husband, Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi, from preaching his sermon on Easter Sunday.
He preached on a topic, he entitled: “Lovest thou me” and throughout the message, he was said to be full of life not revealing any trace of a bereaved heartthrob.
Very little is known of the wife of Pastor Kumuyi as the ministry does not have any significant role for women as they are supposed to remain silent in church in accordance to biblical injunction.
Until her death on Saturday, Mrs. Kumuyi was the Editor-in-Chief of the ministry’s highly subsidised women magazine — Christian Women Mirror — the magazine for building Godly women.
In his reaction, last night, the National President of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor expressed deep shock at the news of the death at this time.
“The Bible says ‘if in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable”, he quoted I Corinthians 15:19, stressing that our hope is in God.

You have two children of your own. Your wife is an integral part of the Church, in fact she is the head of the Women's Ministry. Will your children follow your footsteps into the ministry?
By the grace of God, they became born-again Christians when they were in secondary school here in Nigeria . The first one, Jeremiah, is 24, the second one, John, is 21. Both are now university students in New York , USA . But when they were in Nigeria , they were in the music ministry of the Youth Section of the Church. Jeremiah is studying computer science and John is studying information systems. Both are also involved in the Church in New York, and are making good progress.
So why can't we call your wife and the other women leaders' pastors like we call the men?
Because we reserve the title pastor for people who are in charge of the whole local Church, whereas a woman would be in charge of only the women's section within that Church, which is not the whole Church.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May the Lord grant 'Baba', Jerry and John the stoic fortitude and amazing grace to bear the loss and carry on doing the Father's will 'till we all meet again' on that day, at the Masters' feet, where there will be no more weeping and no more crying, in Jesus' name.
