“Baba Paul Gindiri, the fearless evangelist who stood for truth”
Paul Gindiri was one of the greatest Christian revivalist of all times in Northern Nigeria. He was a confrontational preacher from his conversion to his death in 1996. He saw himself as an Apostle Paul to his generation. As such, he hardly used his surname, Gindiri, the name of his hometown, or his native name, Good, given to him by a Fulani neighbor.
Paul Gunen Gindiri was born to Gunen Seder and Magajiya May on March 3, 1935 in Punbush (Kasuwan Ali), a village near Gindiri among the Pyem of Mangu L.G.A. of Plateau State in central Nigeria.
Adopted by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) an ecumenical group that embraces almost all churches in Nigeria, He is well known of his critism of inept governments and institution in Nigeria, especially the military. He was fearless in his attacks on falsehood, dishonesty, and corruption in government and in the Church. This approach earned him respect and admiration from many Christians and Muslims alike.
Paul Gindiri enjoyed good health until March 31, 1993 when he had a stroke which paralyzed him. He recovered but while he was undergoing physiotherapy he was diagnosed with prostate cancer that led to his death on April 8, 1996.
Baba Paul Gindiri was married to Lami and he had seven children; six boys and one girl. Overseeing the ministry he left behind is his eldest son who is also an evangelist.
The legacies he has left will continue to live on in the lives of those he has greatly affected within the northern regions of Nigeria and beyond.
THE LORD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME.
