His Christian journey began on April 30th, 1980 when he gave his life to Jesus Christ as a student in form three at Omu-Aran High school, Omu-Aran. It was a day Bishop David Bakare was convicted of the Holy Spirit to say, “Here am I Lord, send me”. Life for him changed for the better to the amazement of his school-mates who knew him as a very rascally young man with allergy for serenity. Baptised by Pastor W. Kumuyi in December 1981 at the Iyana Ipaja International Bible Training College of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Bishop Bakare has over the years exhibited the qualities of Prophet Elijah and King David, evident in his life and ministry.

As a student in Kwara Polytechnic, Ilorin in 1982, Bishop David Bakare assisted in coordinating and consolidating the Deeper Life Campus Fellowship at that institution. God brought him back to his birth place Zaria in 1985 to read Political Science at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria where he graduated in 1988.

As a university student, David Bakare pastored at Jesus is Alive Evangelical Ministry under the leadership of late Revd. Kehinde Oye. In August 1989, he answered the call to fulfil a commission and a mission thus, “Go tell the world Am coming tomorrow”. His harkening unto this call from the Lord marked the birth of Jesus is Life World Outreach Ministries (JAWOM) in 1989, of which Jesus is Life Church is the church arm, with centres in different cities across the country.

Four broad areas constitute the mission statement of the Ministries:

• Reach the world with the gospel of light (Evangelistic approach),
• Preach the get ready message to mankind (church planting),
• Teach the Scripture balanced and complete (total teaching of the Word),
• Build and care for the total man (caring for both the spiritual and physical needs of man).

Like King David, the oil has been poured on him three major times; first, he was ordained as an Evangelist in 1987 and secondly ordained as a Pastor by Pastor E.A. Adeboye on June 12th,1994. He was consecrated to the exalted office of a Bishop on 7th February, 2004 by the World Communion of Charismatic Churches led by Bishop Francis Wale Oke.

The Ministries outreach programmes include the yearly “No Parking” Crusade held both in Zaria and other cities of Nigeria, and in the United States of America, Global Warning Conference etc. In his bid to increase the knowledge of God’s word in the life of people, Bishop David Bakare established ZAO proof-producer Bible Institute that offers certificate courses and a diploma in ministerial studies, and Vacation Bible School for teenage and children. In addition, JAWOM runs a nursery, primary and secondary school, Jesus is Life Academy, where children are further exposed not only to academics, but the undiluted Word of God. He is an alumnus of the famous Haggai Institute for Advance Leadership in Singapore and he holds a Ph.D. in Theology, from the Light House Seminary, Brooklyn Campus, New York, USA. He travels widely around the nations of the world preaching and teaching the Word of God, complete and balanced, with prophetic and evangelistic move in the power of the Holy Ghost. He has authored many books, among such is a daily devotional guide (Strength for My Days) which is impacts several lives. This material is also made available to hotels, hospitals, prisons, military and police posts in Kaduna and some few other states in Nigeria. He is also the host of ‘The Moment of Life’ television broadcast on Dove and Dominion International TV.

As a leader in the body of Christ, his Lordship, Bishop David Adebayo Bakare, has held several leadership positions which include:
• Chairman; Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Kaduna State Chapter 2005- 2013
• Zonal Chairman; Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, North-West Zone 2013-till 2023
• National Vice President; Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, North-West Zone 2014-March 2021
• National Deputy Secretary; Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, March, 2021- till Date
• National Chairman; Christian United for Israel (CUFI) 2013- till date
• Chairman of the Board of Trustees: Interfaith Dialogue Forum for Peace (IDFP)

Due to his passion for the less privileged, he embarks on projects such as Medical outreaches, widows’ projects, and scholarship for orphans. He supports communal projects within the locality of the headquarters church regularly. On December 16th, 1989, Bishop Bakare got married to Miss Abigail Afolayan, a graduate of Integrated Science, who also holds a Masters degree in Education. His wife has always solidly stood with him in ministries from the humble beginnings and has remained an intimate companion, help meet and a motivator. They are blessed with children and grand children.

Give to Bishop at 60!
