Who We Are

A ministry built on the Word

GOPEM stands for God's Pillar End‑Time Mission — an incorporated ministry with its own board of trustees, ministers, house members and field members serving in and beyond Ibadan.

What is known today as GOPEM began in 1999 under a different name — God's Pillar Evangelical Ministries. As the work grew, the house adopted its present name in step with Jeremiah 1:18, while holding on to the original "God's Pillar" at its centre.

The earliest assignment was among secondary school students, carried out through school outreaches and a student mass choir that, in time, drew over a thousand souls into the Kingdom. That single seed has since grown into a family of ministries, each carrying forward a piece of the same commission.

The Setman

Peter Olalekan Ilesanmi

Founder & Setman, GOPEM

Born in Ibadan and native to Ilesa, Osun State, he gave his life to Christ in January 1998, with the ministry's assignment kicking off shortly after in 1999.

Formally commissioned at the Cultural Centre, Mokola, and ordained in 2003, he carries a distinct calling into Word and Music Ministry. Today, he still humbly describes himself as an undergraduate in the school of the Holy Spirit.

In GOPEM, "Setman" is used in place of titles like founder or president — a reminder that leadership here is simply about being set apart for an assignment.
