Tunde Bakare Biography
Pastor Tunde Bakare is a Nigerian Prophetic-Apostolic born on November 11, 1954. According to Bakare, he was a Muslim from birth but switched to Christianity in 1974. Bakare attended Lisabi Grammar School in Abeokuta after All Saints Primary School in Kemta, Abeokuta, and between 1977 and 1980, he studied law at the University of Lagos. After finishing his NYSC, he was admitted to the bar in 1981 and began practicing law with Burke & Co, Solicitors, Rotimi Williams & Co, and Gani Fawehinmi Chambers. In October 1984, he founded Tunde Bakare & Co (El-Shaddai Chambers), his legal practice.
He allegedly preached critical sermons of Olusegun Obasanjo, the country’s then-president, and was detained in March 2002. However, when Nigerian presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari ran for office in 2011, Bakare was his running partner. Before leaving to join the Redeemed Christian Church of God, he was a member and served as legal counsel for the Deeper Life Bible Church. There, he became a pastor and founded the Model Parish before being called to found the Latter Rain Assembly. Later, Latter Rain Assembly was given the new name Global Citadel Community Church.
He is the head of the Global Apostolic Impact Network (GAIN), a group of churches, ministries, and companies dedicated to spreading the rule of God on earth. In addition, Dr. Bakare serves as the president of Latter Rain Ministries, Inc. (Church Development Center), an organization dedicated to returning the modern church to its biblical foundation. Under the direction of his mentor, Dr. Lester Sumrall, he received a Doctor of Ministry degree from Indiana Christian University in 1996.
