GUEST SPEAKER
Rev. Paul Jinadu was born a Muslim in Lagos, Nigeria, before travelling to the United Kingdom as a teenager to continue his secondary education. He met the Lord during his “A” level studies and abandoned his plan of becoming a medical doctor to answer the call of God into full-time ministry. He returned to Nigeria in 1966 and worked with 2 church denominations where the Lord used him as an evangelist, church planter and pastor, before returning to the United Kingdom.
As a young minister, Brother Paul had received in his heart, from scriptures, a vision of the pattern of the Church Jesus Christ promised to build, which he constantly shared with his members and disciples whilst in Nigeria. With considerable difficulty in fulfilling this vision and after being asked to leave by the church authority, some of Brother Paul’s disciples started a fellowship in Ibadan, Nigeria and felt led to invite him back to Nigeria to be their pastor. Thus, the New Covenant Church was formally inaugurated in Samonda, Ibadan, Nigeria in 1985 while the first branch in the United Kingdom started in London in 1986. The little seed sown over 30 years ago has been blessed by God as New Covenant Church now has over 500 branches in more than 32 countries.
Brother Paul’s passion is to see Christians come to the knowledge of the truth and be discipled; and to train Christian leaders to last the race. This, the Lord has helped him do in his ministry for over 50 years. He has been married to Rev. Mrs Kate Jinadu, the International President of the Covenant Women International for over half a century. They are blessed with 2 sons who are also ministers of God, and 3 grandchildren.
