He addressed worries about his health after pale and fragile images of him appeared online the previous year. The photos were taken while he was with his wife, Modele, and other church members at Old Trafford in Manchester, England.
On May 11, 2023, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo and other pastors went to an international minister conference that David Oyedepo, the head of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, hosted in Ota, Ogun State.
He acknowledged being unwell last year and spoke about his rehabilitation during the occasion, but he kept his illness’s specifics a secret. Fatoyinbo claimed that his mentor Oyedepo prayed for him and spoke blessings over him while he was receiving medical care.
“Last year, I was a little bit ill and against everything, the medical sciences, Papa (Oyedepo) spoke, and I am here today. And I want to give God the glory!” he stated.
He stated that after spending many years studying Oyedepo from a distance, his life changed dramatically once he came to know him. He said that because of his mentor-protege connection with Oyedepo, COZA is purchasing assets and acting like a franchise, where all branches mirror the headquarters, much like Living Faith Church.
