Isaac Femi Akintunde from Mount Zion Faith Ministries International. I am a native of Ediko Ago. Ediko Ago is in Oyo State, Oke Ogun side, Oyo North to be precise. I attended Local Authority Primary School, Ediko Ago, after which I attended Community Grammar School Ediko Ago. I spent one year, thereafter, at Ilupeju Community Grammar School, Iwere-ile. Ilupeju Community Grammar School, Iwere-ile.
After which I proceeded to Divisional Teacher’s College, Saki and that was where I stopped.
Ropheka Interviewer: How did you start acting?
FA: Well, I can say I started acting since when I was Primary school. I have that little gift of acting.
We act drama every year during festive period like Christmas, New Year, and from there little by little
until I got to secondary school. There was a time we started a drama ministry that we called Calvary
Theater Group, First Baptist Church, Ediko Ago. Then, I was the secretary to that group at that time. We were acting drama from church to church, not even our church alone; Baptist Churches to be precise. I have been acting since then. When I gave my life to Jesus Christ also, I was acting drama in my church then. I was the drama leader of my church in Kaduna, when I was in Kaduna. But I had a call to
join the drama ministry when I heard about Mount Zion Faith Ministries and it was my desire to join the ministry as a drama minister because I knew at a point I was called into that ministry.
By the grace of God, to cut the long story short, I came into the institute. I, first of all, attended the Mount Zion Institute of Christian Drama in 1997 then I became a full member in 1998. Since then, we have been serving the Lord in the area of Christian Drama.
Ropheka Interviewer: Have you ever thought of quitting?
FA: Well, many times, one will feel like quitting because of some challenges, but by the grace of God, if you remember that you
are called into the ministry, like David, you will keep on encouraging yourself in the Lord and that is how we have been doing and we are moving because there are challenges when you are
on full time in the drama ministry, a lot of challenges.
Sometimes, when the challenges come, you’ll feel like quitting, but because God is on your side and God has been the one that called
you into the ministry, one will be encouraged again, pick up again and start running. That is just it.
Ropheka Interviewer: Why
Christian Drama?
FA: Actually, if it is not Christian Drama, there is no any other drama, to me. Because I am a child of God and I am called into drama ministry. It should be drama ministry; it should be Christian Drama Ministry all the way. Either good or bad, it is just Christian Drama.
What motivates you?
FA: Well, motivation, let me say God, Holy Spirit. Because what actually motivated me to drama ministry is the passion for lost souls. As a child of God, first of all, after giving your life to Jesus Christ, you will seek the face of God to know the area you should serve Him and after revealing to me the area that I will serve Him, I needed to do everything possible to do the will of God. What also motivated me to drama ministry is the call of God upon my life that He wants me to serve in that capacity as a drama minister because I have the ambition to become a soldier and it pained when I finally heard that I can’t become a soldier because of some certain things and I gave it up. When I finally gave my life to Jesus Christ, seeking His face and what God wants me to do for Him, that is where the issue of drama ministry came
FA: My biggest joy in drama ministry is seeing souls trooping to the kingdom of God and testimonies of people keep us going and moving in the drama ministry. I remember there are some instances and such instances will always come when one is down in the spirit. There is this particular one, my wife had an accident sometimes ago, and we were in the hospital. The second day after the accident, somebody called very early in the morning from the east and said she was so glad that I picked her call. She said, “Your movie has done a lot in my family. My family has not been doing well, my husband is threatening divorce and all that, but we watched one of your movies, and it was too hard for that woman to call “Moti Pinnu” correctly.
FA: Yes. Like I said the other time, I have been acting since I was in primary school and there is no other play we acted that was not a stage play. So, I have been on stage since then either right or wrong.
I have been mounting stage since when I was in primary school and when I became born again also, I have been on stage acting one play or the other. I wrote many, I directed many. That time,
I didn’t know I was directing anyway.
We were just doing our thing naturally.
