A historic and glorious moment in Ireland (Europe) on the 15th of August, 2026 with Bishop Francis Wale Oke! We joyfully celebrate and congratulate Bishop David Richman Olayinka on his Episcopal Consecration! What a testimony of God’s grace and faithfulness. As the first Black Pentecostal Bishop in Ireland, this is a significant milestone and a reminder that God is still raising leaders, breaking barriers and advancing His Kingdom across generations and nations.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you…” — Jeremiah 1:5 “For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the Judge: He puts down one, and sets up another.” — Psalm 75:6–7 Bishop David, we celebrate the call of God upon your life and the grace that has brought you to this moment.
May the Lord continue to enlarge your territory, strengthen your hands and use your ministry to impact Ireland, the nations and generations to come. Congratulations, Bishop David Richman! May this new chapter be filled with greater grace, greater influence and greater fruit for the glory of Jesus Christ. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
