In 1998 Davida Yemi-Akanle , the overseer of the ministry, had a fresh experience and revelation of the love of God, and request from God be His friend, thus the name of the ministry "Friends of God".

As a result Davida has moved forward with a burning passion to share the love of God help others experience it.

She is the Founder and Overseer of 'Friends of God World Outreach', and oversees the activities of the ministry, and is actively involved in its day to day running. As a pastor, teacher and evangelist, her joy is to win the lost and make them disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ - equipping them for the Christ-like life.

Davida has preached the Gospel in 5 nations in Africa, and Asia, with signs and wonders following, proving that Jesus is alive.

Davida is married to Yemi, and they make their home in England.
