Our Story

Gateway of Life & Miracle Ministries Int'l

Gateway of Life & Miracle Ministries Int'l (Golammi Worship Centre), also called Mountain of Reconstruction and the City of Prophecy, was founded on November 17, 2002.

The church started from a room at 29, Sariyu Olusesi Street, Agodo Egbe, Cele Egbe Bus Stop, Ikotun-Isolo Road, Lagos. The ministry began with 3 people. The second Sunday service recorded 7 people, and the third Sunday service recorded 12 people in attendance. As attendance kept increasing, the church later moved into the parlour.

By the second year, because of the rapid growth of the church, the ministry leased half a plot of land at 17, Olushola Street, Agodo for two years. Before the lease elapsed, God had spoken through the prophet that the church would not spend the whole two years there before moving to the permanent site. God was faithful to His word, and the permanent church land was secured before the end of the lease period.

On July 7, 2007, the church held her first service on the permanent site at 17, Adeyinka Street, Agodo Egbe, in the same locality where the ministry started. That site remains the headquarters of the church, from where people from many nations are being blessed.

The Founder’s Early Journey

This photograph carries a deeply personal part of the founder’s story. He was just 7 years old when his spiritual father, Prophet David Falade, was barbing his Nazarethic hair. It was not merely a childhood moment captured in an image, but a quiet sign of spiritual covering, early consecration, and the prophetic shaping of a life that God had already set apart. Long before the ministry became known to many, there were already signs that his journey would be unusual. Looking at this moment now, one can see the tenderness of God’s hand in the hidden years, preparing a child for an assignment that would later touch many lives.

The Founder and His Wife

Ministry is not only built on calling, it is also strengthened by covenant, support, and shared sacrifice. This moment with the founder and his wife reflects that side of the story. Their walk together speaks of faith, service, endurance, and the quiet strength that helps sustain the work of God behind the scenes as well as before the congregation.
