Tribute to Pastor Paul Erakhifu - Pastor Wole Ayandeji, (Ondo State Media Director)

-





The body of Christ has lost a general, and the media arm of the Kingdom has lost one of its finest. 


Pastor Paul I. Erakhifu was not just a colleague in the work—he was a standard. In an age where excellence is often sacrificed for speed, he chose both. His fingerprints are on countless broadcasts, outreaches, and digital outreaches that brought the Gospel into homes where the pulpit could not reach. 


I knew him as a man who understood that media ministry is ministry. Every camera angle, every sound check, every late night edit was an offering to God. He taught younger hands without arrogance, corrected with grace, and carried the burden of the work with a quiet strength that only comes from walking closely with the Lord.


His humility was disarming. His humor was healing. His diligence proved the scripture true: “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings.” And indeed, Pastor Paul stood before kings, but never forgot the King of kings.


The news of his passing on May 1st, 2026, shook us. But we do not mourn as those without hope. We mourn with thanksgiving for a life well lived, for a race well run, for a mantle well kept.


To the United Apostolic Church of Christ, to his family, and to the media team he led: take heart. The seeds Pastor Paul sowed in faithfulness will outlive us all. 


Rest well, brother. Rest well, Director. Rest well, servant of God. 


We will carry the torch. The work continues.  


Pastor Wole Ayandeji

Ondo State Media Director

Pastor Paul,   I don’t know how to say this without my voice catching, but thank you. Thank you for being more than my media director. You’ve been a father in the work, a steady hand behind the scenes, and proof that ministry isn’t only on the pulpit—it’s in every detail done for God’s glory. You’ve carried the weight of making sure the message reaches people, often staying late, fixing what broke, training us when we didn’t know, and never once complaining. I’ve seen you choose excellence when no one would notice, and humility when everyone would. That’s rare. That’s Christ-like. Beyond the cameras and soundboards, you’ve carried _us_. You notice when someone’s quiet. You pray before you instruct. You correct with love, not pride. You’ve turned a team into a family, and made young people believe their gifts matter in God’s house. Pastor Paul, your sacrifice is written in the lives that have heard, seen, and encountered God because you refused to do half-hearted work. Heaven s...
