In 1964 he devoted his life to Christ. In 1967 he achieved an honors degree in mathematics. In 1973, while a lecturer of mathematics at the University of Lagos, Kumuyi began a Bible study group with fifteen people who had come to him for Bible training. It's been said before, "Despise not the day of small beginnings".This instruction became the groundwork of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry. His ministry, which in 1982 became the Deeper Life Bible Church, was said in 2005 to have had over 800,000 affiliates. At this writing we approach nearly twenty years later and the church has only increased. The vision, mission, and values of this humble, yet profound communicator of the gospel has grown internationally and countless lives have been changed for God's glory.Dr. Kumuyi is quoted as saying:"We would get up in the morning, read the Bible, sing hymns, and go to church regularly. When I was in middle and high school, I lost interest in the church because our principal taught us atheism. But after a while, I thought again and started going to various churches in town. Eventually, in 1963, a group of singers and preachers from a Gospel church got permission to come to the school. I understood the Gospel message and was born again on April 5th, 1964. I read John Wesley, Charles Finney, Charles Spurgeon, and lots of other books. I got involved with the Scripture Union, and I grew."The Deeper Christian Life Ministry founded by Dr. Kumuyi has the international headquarters of its church in Gbagada, Lagos. The church auditorium at the international headquarters could seat up to 30,000 worshippers and was once described by church growth experts as the fourth largest in the world (at the time). The auditorium was dedicated on 24 April 2018; the Vice President of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo, and other dignitaries were present attending the inauguration. In 2013, Foreign Policy magazine listed Kumuyi among the "500 most powerful people on the planet".The Deeper Christian Life Ministry website shares,"By 1988 the congregation had grown to 50,000, and now numbers 120,000 members, making it the third largest Christian church in the world. Dr. Johan Combrinck reports that the Deeper Life Bible Church not only has an attendance of 120,000 every Sunday, but has planted 500 churches in Lagos, 5,000 in the rest of Nigeria (with an independent estimate of more than 800,000 members in Nigeria alone), and 3,000 elsewhere (with missionaries to 40 countries of Africa) as the movement missionary contribution.

God has graciously manifested his mercy and power in these meetings through many testimonies of healing and deliverance. GCK has seen over 200,000 conversions within a year of its inception and has spawned a daily program, GCK Daily which is available in different languages.ver menos
