Samuel Oshoffa
Samuel Bilehou Joseph Oshoffa (sometimes Oschoffa)〔(Oschoffa, Samuel Bilewu Reverend Dr. Elijah Olu Akinwumi, Dictionary of African Christian Biography, accessed March 2010 )〕 (1909–1985) was the founder of the Celestial Church of Christ after reportedly resurrecting people from the dead. He founded the church in 1947 after being lost for three months near Porto-Novo in Benin.〔 The church now has its main offices in Bénin and Nigeria. Five percent, or 400,000, of the 8,000,000 people of Benin are Celestial Christians.〔 Oshoffa was reported to have had 34 wives and 150 children when he died in 1985 although some say these figures are high.
==Biography==
Samuel Bilehou Joseph Oshoffa was born into a Yoruba family of mixed religion. His father was a Muslim but had become a Methodist, whilst his mother followed traditional religions and objected to Christianity. His mother left him when he was only three months old to return to imeko where her husband lived. His father was a carpenter (a fact which was later thought important to a person who later reported receiving visits from Jesus Christ). He was born May 19, 1909 in Porto-Novo, which is now the capital of Benin but was then the new capital of the French colony of Dahomey. His family was also involved with the Cherubim and Seraphim Church. Felicia Yaman was Oshoffa's first wife, and she was involved with the launch of the new church. She was said to be able to prophesy conflict and was invited to many of Oshoffa's meetings.
