In a parallel to the ancient Israelites' cry for deliverance from Egyptian bondage, the emergence of Apostle Festus Adewole as the spiritual leader of Christ Crusader's Deliverance Ministries mirrors a divine intervention. Situated at River Bank Estate in Akute-Odo, Ogun State, this end-time church had humble beginnings. Her vision is setting the captive free through prayer and deliverance and its first fellowship convened on February 14, 1998, with just 13 members gathered under borrowed canopies in Ore-Ofe Area, Akute.
