With a family background of near nothing to write home about, Pastor ‘Tunde Bakare rose from the dunghill to a position of influence and from penury to stardom. As God would have it, Gbolahan Babatunde Bakare was born into a typical Moslem polygamous family which is always typified by conflicts and rivalry, with no one giving him the slightest chance of survival due to the circumstances surrounding his birth. Although, he did not have the privilege of enjoying proper parental care, he struggled through life’s phases with the grace of God upon his life and the determination to make it.
Born on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month as the only child to his mother, Pastor ‘Tunde Bakare did not grow up to know his earthly father but was brought up by his mother, Madam Abigail Eebudola Bakare along with other siblings.
Like the biblical Joseph, Pastor B seems to be a forerunner of his extended household to bring not only the salvation of the Lord to his people but also to assist in other areas of their disabilities. Contrary to his experience in the early days of his life, Pastor Bakare is a lover of humanity and emotional for that matter.
Married to Mrs. Olayide Bakare in 1984, Pastor Bakare’s marriage has played a strong pivotal role in his life, career and ministry. The one and only Authentic Mrs. B as she is affectionately referred to by her husband, has been involved in the work of Ministry all her adult life and has served alongside her husband since their wedding in 1984. First as a co-pastor of The Latter Rain Assembly and presently a member of the board of trustees of the Church, Mrs. B has been instrumental to the growth and development of her husband’s ministry.
