During the 62nd session of the Nigeria Baptist
Convention in 1977, a call went round for the Baptist Brotherhood Society in
Baptist Churches to transform by adopting a new name and changes in activities
in all local Baptist Churches to “Baptist Men’s Fellowship (BMF).”
The Baptist Men’s Fellowship was thus established at the First Baptist Church
Lagos in 1982 with the following aims and objectives:
• To pray for the
mission
• To teach mission and
• To embark on mission and evangelism work
Membership was drawn from all existing
church societies in the church,
The first president of Men’s Mission Union was Mr. Emmanuel Ogundipe thereafter
Chief J. Akin-George, Messrs A.O. Oyediran, S.O. Akiode and E.A. Ayoade
(current president).
The following members have been called to glory: Bro. J.J.A. Akinleye, Bro.
E.A. Adeleye, Pa. T.A. George, Bro. S.A. Akinola and Bro. Abayomi Fajobi.
The Men’s Missionary Union of the Church took responsibility to draw roster for
Church societies to visit newly planted churches. The Men’s Missionary Union
also supervises the Royal Ambassors. Counselors are nominated from the Men’s
Missionary Union namely Bro. Oshodi, Bro. E.A. Alawode, Bro. Bode Idowu and
