Abstract

The Church of the Lord (Prayer Fellowship) Worldwide is one of the African Indigenous Churches that started in southwest Nigeria during the first half of the 20th century. They are otherwise referred to as Aladura Churches. Though the Church was started by Josiah Ositelu, in the process of time, he had the support of several able associates who contributed immensely to the development of the church, especially outside of Nigeria. One of these is Emmanuel Adeleke Adejobi.
