If you’re looking for a Man of strong faith that will allocate 99.6% of his daily earnings to mission work and use the rest .4% barely left to force him by Ewa Agoyin & Agege bread for his house to eat; then look for Oloye. Very fearless in an open love for church works. Oloye? Ask the people that knows him well they will lost count of numbers of times no food to eat in his house so that a church can thrive. A Boss who indeed is a Boss. We thank God for all the testimonies I’ve read about you. All is now well. Tokunbo Akinyemi Mutual Assurance

Oloye, the news of your death really shocked my entire family and church family. (My children especially still can’t stop asking what happened, because you were still with us nearly a year ago) I didn't first know how to respond to the news, but was numbed , shocked and pained. But God is good, and He's timing differs from ours. So today, I celebrate the life of one of God's Great Generals, Pastor Theophilus Martins or should I say Oloye. when I heard about your demise, I choose to believe it wasn't true or real, since my husband and I spoke to you 2 weeks prior. I then started looking for your pictures and videos we have from Lagos, Nairobi Kenya(when you and mummy Judah named me Mary Slessor) and to the US. Even just from barely a year ago, after your missionary journeys and work in South America, you decided to check on us in Maryland. Pastor Martin, how do I begin to describe you sir? You are a true and great man of God, a missionary to the core, a selfless giver, always thinking about others but himself, a chronic soul winner, a lover of God and man, a burden bearer, a big brother indeed. Your jokes are heart-warming and cracks-up everyone, your advices and encouragements always runs deep. Christianity world-wide, and RCCG has lost a Gem. But like we know "Earth's Loss, is Heaven's Gain". We'll all miss you dearly. Though it's difficult not to cry as l write this, we are not mourning like those without faith. For the Bible says in 1Thessalonians 4:13-14, " Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him." You ran and finished your race at God's appointed time. We are consoled that we'll see you again at Resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:51 says, "......The trumpet will sound, and those who have died will be raised to live forever, and we will all be changed...." To my dear sister, Pastor Catherine, Judah, Funmi, the entire family, Praise Tabernacle(Praise T) Family and Garden of Peace brethren, may the Lord God console and uphold everyone at this time. We're all in a race that we are called to, may the Lord help us to run and finish it well. For the day and time no one knows. Oloye, your Legacy lives on, Good night my dear big brother in the ministry. Good night! 👇🏿 https://www.facebook.com/1249822476/videos/10222017996419536/ https://www.facebook.com/reel/581115370110408

When we heard the news, we began by thinking we could save you but in the end, all we can do is to honor you. Our incredible and beloved brother, Pastor ‘Tunde Martins, who with his lovely wife, ensured a safe birth of our first child at the Redeemed Camp about 30 years ago, and subsequently accommodated us in their humble apartment unit for several months! You opened your heart and restored our trust in humanity. You sacrificed so much to bring happiness to everyone around you and we’re definitely going to miss your jokes and coy smile, especially when you would, suddenly and unexpectedly, give up something so dear to you for others to enjoy! Rest in the everlasting peace and joy of our Creator and Heavenly Father. Amen 🙏🏽
