How it all started
His Praise Family Care Foundation was conceived in year 2003 for the purpose of showing forth the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. It was not until 2009 when the functional operating arm called, “Young Couples Fellowship, Nigeria was lunched.
Young Couples Fellowship now known as His-praise Christian Couples Fellowship is the fellowship designed for both newly married and couples of all ages who desire a heaven-on-earth home. The fellowship was developed by the help of the Holy Spirit after deep thought on various challenges that couples do go through. A lot of couples both old and young are going through tough times and many have already divorced emotionally and are leaving as co-tenant under the same roof called house and in most cases it is not known to the outsider because the devil want to keep such couples in that perpetual bondage. HCCF is committed to ensure the original plan of God for marriage is actualized.
Formation
In line with the vision conceived in 2003 for His Praise Family Care Foundation, A young couple, Oluwasegun Adedayo and Emiola Oluwaseun OLABODE was led by the Holy Spirit to launch out to other young couples immediately after their wedding in September, 2008 with a vision to ensure that the will of God for each home becomes a reality, hence, the motto of the Fellowship; ‘…experience heaven on earth home.’ Surely it is unnecessary to remind you that the world is filled with too many tragic, unhappy unions. Many of the stories could be written with the ink of bitter tears. The research shows that one out of four marriages in America today go through divorce or separation. This of cause is gradually creeping into Africa and Nigeria is not exempted. This must not be allowed to continue and this is the major reason why this Fellowship was lunched through the help of the Holy Spirit since January 11, 2009.
His Praise Family Care Foundation (a.k.a His-praise Christian Couples Fellowship) which started with just 4 couples on the 11th January, 2009, has been duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission and has versatile Board of Trustees members of diverse backgrounds. The Rt. Rev. Dr. J. A. F. Olusola, the Lord Bishop of Ijesa North East Anglican Diocese, Osun State is the Grand Patron of the Fellowship. Many homes have received the touch of God Almighty through this ministry.
