Founder of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, has reacted to a question about the fate of the 15 pioneer members who started the church alongside him.
In a viral clip recently shared by popular Instagram blogger Tunde Ednut, a passionate female member of the church raised a heartfelt question during a church event.
Speaking from the congregation, she addressed the pastors seated at the altar and inquired about the original 15 individuals who began the journey of Deeper Life with Pastor Kumuyi several decades ago. She asked if the church had any plans for their welfare or if they were being taken care of.

In a separate video from a different church gathering, Pastor Kumuyi eventually responded to the inquiry. Addressing the church, he calmly stated that the 15 founding members are “being taken care of by God.”

The response, though brief, sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, particularly in Tunde Ednut’s comment section.
While some netizens found Kumuyi’s answer spiritually profound, others questioned whether it deflected responsibility from the church to provide tangible support to the aging or retired founding members.
The comment section was flooded with mixed views — ranging from those who praised the faith-driven response to those who expected a more practical and specific outline of the church’s care program, if any exists, for those loyal early contributors.
