"A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism," says Irving Babbitt.
There are so many billionaires in the world, but few of them have used their resources for the work of God. Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas today has been blessed with children of God who are using their God given wealth to bless the mission.
Undoubtedly, you can't mention humanitarians or philanthropists in Christ Apostolic Church without mentioning Pastor Caxton Segun Fasuyi who happens to be the Director of Missions of the church.
Pastor Fasuyi was born at Owena on 5th May, 1962 (61 years ago) but his parents are of Ido-Fabore, Ekiti origin. He attended Saviour's Primary School, Owena and Ebun Ogunyinka Comprehensive High School. For his higher School Certificate, he attended Federal School of Science, Ondo, Ondo State. He proceeded to the University of Jos where he earned Bachelor of Arts degree in Christian Religious Studies.
He did his National Youth Service at Ilorin. He has since been a businessman but with zeal for the spread of the gospel. He was ordained a Pastor in Christ Apostolic Church on 19th February, 1998. It is to his credit that he has planted the Christ Apostolic Church assemblies in high profile areas of Lagos and in South Africa. He is the Vice-Chairman, Governing Council, Joseph Ayo Babalola University (JABU).
He is a frontline businessman, passionate philanthropist and benefactor of JABU. Few years ago he bagged an honorary degree of Doctor of Entrepreneurship.
Pastor Fasuyi has used his wealth to bless uncountable people across the globe. Pastor Fasuyi and his pretty wife recently distributed food stuffs as relief support for Pleasure Community in Lagos.
Few years ago, fifteen youths of Christ Apostolic Church received a three-month entrepreneurship training at JABU.They were sponsored by Pastor Fasuyi and his wife, Mrs. J.T. Fasuyi. Pastor Fasuyi said their non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) Destiny Focus Care Initiative (DFCI) besides assisting youths, also helps widows, widowers, and orphans to get empowerment.
Having considered his commitment to the kingdom business and contribution to the growth of the church, four years ago, the highest decision making body of the church, General Executive Council upgraded his position (the position of Director of Missions) to the Principal Officers of CAC Nigeria and Overseas.
