The keynote speaker :

Born in Britain but bred in Nigeria, Dr Oloyede is a medical doctor by profession and called as a missionary to England and Europe. He was radically saved from Islam within the wake of the revival that hit the Nigerian Universities in the 80s.

His current pastorate includes the Glory House Academy, the College of Ministry, Prisons/ Hospital outreaches and the diverse network of one hundred and fifty Home Churches. Glory House is a Black Majority Church in East London with a combined attendance and membership of 6,000.

Jonathan’s heart and passion is to see the Church united and emptied out into society as Salt and Light. He describes his mission statement as Rallying the Church for the Great Commission and Transformation. One of his key roles is challenging the Church to Unite in Prayer.
