It was all fun for the Mount Zion Drama Ministry on Sunday October 8, 2017 as they celebrated with the founder, Mike Bamiloye and his wife, Gloria on the occasion of the couple’s 29th wedding anniversary.
The couple who married in 1988 has three children.
Speaking about his children (Joshua, Dammy and Darasimi) Mike said, “Our marriage has produced great ministers. Our children also are in the ministry, my first son is a drama producer and director of Christian movies also, my second son is into music and our third child, is studying English in the university. She is a scriptwriter.”
The daughter, Darasimi graduated in May, 2017 from Babcock University.
What has sustained their marriage these 29 years?
Mike said, “When you get married to an intelligent person, the person will continually reason. Once in a while there has been disagreement in principles, but we always come together to agree. When there is a disagreement, one party approaches the other, depending whoever sees reasons first. There is always an agreement when there is a disagreement. We work together and sometimes we disagree during film productions but at the end of the day we still have to reach an agreement.”
His wife, Gloria explained, “We are children of God, and we cannot sleep without forgiving each other. I do not want to miss rapture. We were able to cope because we fear God. The fear of God sustained our marriage. Marriage is a ministry unto God. When we have that in mind, it would be easy to work together, respect each other and to adjust ourselves.”
The couple confessed to both loving to sing and pray.
Wondering what their pet names for each other are?
Mike reveals, “She calls me Brother Mike. She calls me that because that was what she used to call me when we were in the fellowship before we got married. Even the children call me Brother Mike sometimes. Other ministers get surprised when she calls me Brother Mike. I call her Mummy Daniel.”
Gloria confessed, “I have tried sometimes to stop calling him Brother Mike, but I couldn’t.”
Happy celebration to the couple
