His Ministry
After his primary and secondary education, Festus struggled to come to Lagos to further his education. Unfortunately, he was shabbily treated by family members who he approached to live with it. He was rejected by virtually all his family members in Lagos . He made up his mind that whatever happened, he would not go back to the village. He endured it and started living with friends. This was where he was influenced to become a hardened criminal. His previous experience in smoking and womanizing aggravated and was dastardly engrossed with the worries of this world.

When there was nobody to assist him to further his education, he went ahead to register for a vocational study in quantity survey. Upon his graduation, he started practicing under one of his senior colleagues but yet he was not fulfilled. So, when he gave his life to Jesus, though still practicing his survey apprenticeship, he was more occupied with the things of God. Gradually, he was swallowed into the ministry and according to the lead of Holy Spirit, he resigned his appointment with his boss and went into full time ministry.

Before he became a full time pastor, Pastor Adewole was found to be a workaholic worker in the vineyard. He was a teacher of the word in bible study and Sunday school. One of the outstanding qualities of this man of God is discipline. As soon as he gave his life to Jesus, he denounced his entire former link with the enemy and concentrated fully to serve God. His hallmark is purity and holiness. He has been a frontline advocate of righteousness in the kingdom as he conscientiously frowns against the minutest fragment of sin.

He started his career in the ministry as a full time pastor at Saviour's Chapel International. His gifts as a deliverance pastor exploded and he became a terror to the kingdom of darkness. God called Pastor Festus to establish his own ministry in 1998 after series of mountain trips seeking for God's counsel concerning his life.

How Christ Crusaders' Deliverance Ministries Started
As God would have it, there are so many friends and senior colleagues in the ministry that have influenced positively the spiritual growth of Pastor Festus. Due to his rare humility and commitment, he was fortunate to be flanked with responsible partners in progress. He was a custodian of information to most of his close associates.

When the call to start the ministry started when he had no money to do virtually nothing, he stood by the promise of God and made up his mind not to borrow money from anyone. He said if it was God that called him, He would make provision for him.

The first meeting of the ministry came up on February 14,1998 at Ore ofe area around Akute with 13 members. This congregation gathered together under a rented canopy from one of his spiritual fathers, Apostle Sunday Akingbelure.

As the church grew, there was a need for change of accommodation after moving to another rented space. This urge to expand was imminent and this finally made them to move to another location around Akute Odo which has today become the permanent headquarters church.

Today, the church has a population of about 2500 members, 200 workers team and about 15 ministers, part time and full time inclusive.

The headquarter church at River Bank Estate, Akute Odo has become a reference point to the community because of the imposing structure of the ultra modern gallery which can accommodate about 5000 worshippers at a single service.

To augment constant power supply, the church purchased sound proof generator and supply lightings to the community.
