How Mum's Death Brought Warring Adefarasin Pastor Brothers Together Again


It has been in the news that there is no love lost between two prominent pastors who are blood brothers, Wale Adefarasin (of Guiding Light Assembly) and Paul Adefarasin (of House on the Rock) for a long while now.

It is such a silent-but-loud irony that two men of God, born of same well-to-do parents could fall apart so widely.

Recall it was earlier reported few months back that Pastor Paul Adefarasin conspicuously shunned his elder brother, Pastor Wale Adefarasin's 70th Birthday. The crux behind the gulf between them has also been a top-kept secret. However, they are both doing well in their private lives and ministries. 

However, the loss of their mum finally brought the two brothers together recently.

They lost their mum, Mrs. Hilda Joanne Adefarasin (nee Petgrave), who passed unto glory peacefully in her home, on the evening of Sunday the 5th of February 2023, at the age of 98 years,

She was buried on March 17, with dignitaries from all walks life joining the family to bid their mum farewell.

The Burial Service was held at the elder brother's Guiding Light Assembly inside Parkview Estate, Ikoyi and his younger brother, his wife and other siblings were there. 

Both pastors are sons of late Justice Joseph Adetunji Adefarasin, a  lawyer, High Court Judge and Chief Justice of Lagos (between 1974-1985). He was married to their mum, Hilda Adefarasin and their union produced five children; Wale Adefarasin, Bola Adefarasin, Yinka Ogundipe, Michael Adeyemi Adefarasin and Paul Adefarasin.
