About Us
An encounter with God during an outreach, when our singing group was invited for a ministration in Ogbomosho Oyo State. The Lord's servant from Ilorin Kwara sate, Rev Yemi and Tokunbo Ayodele were guest speakers. By the power of the Holy Ghost the call of God upon my life was prophesized through the Woman of God on that day, May 25 1991. The divine encounter that day gave birth to Try Praises Ministry.
The mission of the Ministry was to carry the message of praise of God from city to cities. The first praise concert was held in Ede Osun State in December 1993. By the grace of God we organized praise concert in many cities, in Ikirun, Osun State, in Ibadan Oyo State, in Nnewei Anambra State. The Head Chapter of the Ministry was in Ogbomosho in Oyo State. At this time I was with the Redeem Christian Church Of God, under the tutelage of Pastor Paul Shiyabola.
In 1966, the Lord said to me to have a base, the Church arm started in November 1996. On that faithful Sunday, God gave me Jeremiah 26:2 “Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:” I was alone; I did service all alone from Opening Prayer to Benediction after which four people entered and we started the service all over again. To the glory of God the Church has so many branches, The Headquater of the Ministry is presently at No35B, Jakande Estate, Oke -Afa, Isolo, Lagos Nigeria. The same year, the Lord spoke to me again that the praise has been tried now Apply it, So the name of the Ministry was changed to Apply Praise Ministry International till date.
