The glorious vision of evangelizing our children in the Diocese of Ekiti West is one of the successes the pioneer Bishop, The Rt. Rev'd Samuel Oludare Oke (Rtd) attained right from the inception/inauguration of the Diocese in November 22nd, 1999. His unwavering commitment to evangelism paved way for the establishment of children's department as well as the creation of the office of the Diocesan Anglican Children Ministry (ACM) Superintendent in the year 2006 which Mrs. Afolayan Lucia Funmilayo pioneered. This was when the Diocese was zealous to establish her footing holistically. Hence, the ministry took off on a very good spiritual foundation.

A formidable team ably led by the Diocesan Superintendent was sponsored by the Diocesan to attend the Anglican Children Ministry National Teachers Conference in Lagos Province that same year (2006) to vitalize and enlist their interest even at the National level.

This kindled the evangelical spirit in the ministry of 'Catch them young for Christ', the motto of Anglican Children Ministry of the Church of Nigeria. Almost immediately after the appointment of the Superintendent, His Lordship charged her with responsibility of presenting a white paper as to the intending operations in this very important department and a matching order of making the disciples of all the children in the Diocese, organizing Teachers Workshop/Seminars and Children's Retreats and thereafter move round the parishes to supervise the department and give the reports of children's activities/achievements to the Synod. These span through a little over a decade of notable achievement!

The enthronement of the Rt. Rev'd Rufus Victor Ajileye Adepoju as the successor to the Pioneer Bishop is no doubt another prayer answered of God ordained Father and Friend to this church of tomorrow.
