Abstract
[The Aladura churches developed in southwest Nigeria from 1918 on as a result of the rise of charismatic prophets who believed they were called into gospel ministry. Joseph Ayodele Babalola was one of the charismatic prophets at the time and his ministry blossomed into Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) that is still a leading force today in Nigerian Christianity. Babalola and David Odubanjo were
key figures in the birth and development of the CAC and gave the church outstanding leadership before they died in 1959. However, the expansion in later
years fell on the shoulders of other prophets in the church. Before his death, Babalola brought a young evangelist into the church who, in later years, boosted the fame of the church and propelled it to greater heights. This evangelist was Timothy Oluwole Obadare.]
