HISTORY
“…In 1974 Pastor Matthew went to Bible school determined to study hard and succeed in the destiny God had in store for him. After graduating from Bible school, he was assigned to the Foursquare Church in the busy suburbs of Shomolu in Lagos, which was pastored by Rev. Olu Osibanjo, who was later to become his Father in-Law.
He regularly ministered in the Scripture union (SU) in University campuses and was quite popular amongst the undergraduates. This was preparing him for the future work he would do with young people and singles in the body of Christ.
It was during this time he met and married his wife Yemisi Osibanjo…The years went by and he was pastoring a congregation of approximately 2000 in Foursquare Gospel Church when he decided to go to Canada to study but he was turned back at the point of entry. God had a plan for him to go the United Kingdom instead.
In 1984 Pastor and his family came over to England as part of the Foursquare denomination as a missionary, to establish a branch in London
In 1984 Pastor and his family came over to England as part of the Foursquare denomination as a missionary, to establish a branch in London. He and his wife Yemisi, together with Esther Appleton (their first member of staff) began to seek the Lord in prayer for 18 months before taking the step of leaving the Foursquare denomination in 1992 to start KICC (Kingsway International Christian Centre) that year with approximately 300 adults and 100 children.
Today, Matthew Ashimolowo is the founder and C.E.O of about 10 profitable companies which include a global TV station (KICC TV). He is also the founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre, A Christian charity with a global footprint in 214 nations (via television) with a volunteer base of over 1000 staff. His weekly telecast WINNING WAYS is a source of inspiration and motivation to many…”
