Bishop Funke Adejumo: Winning the Game of Life as a Mother to Nations
Life is often described as a game — filled with challenges, strategies, and moments that test our endurance. Some step onto the field to play; others step up to lead the team. Bishop Funke Adejumo is one of those rare leaders. Known across the globe as a preacher, author, and humanitarian, she has earned her place as a Mother to Nations by turning faith into her playbook and influence into her championship legacy.
Training for Greatness
Every champion starts with humble beginnings, and Bishop Adejumo’s story is no different. Born in Nigeria, she didn’t begin with fame or recognition — she began with faith, grit, and an unshakable conviction to “Honor God and bless humanity.”
Her practice sessions? Decades of service.
Her playbook? More than 50 books filled with lessons on resilience, womanhood, and leadership.
Her fans? Millions of women and men worldwide who draw strength from her voice and example.
Like any athlete who trains relentlessly, she has built her influence one discipline at a time — authoring books, leading Mothers’ Summits, and building initiatives that support orphans, hospitals, and families.
The Big Game in Atlanta
Every great career has defining moments — the championship matches that confirm legacy. For Bishop Adejumo, one such moment came in Atlanta, Georgia, at Rock Hill Church, founded by Dr. Sonnie Badu and supported by First Lady Annie Badu.
There, in a stadium of faith and celebration, she was honored with:
- Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from Trinity International University of Ambassadors
- World Peace Pioneer Award
- UN Global Ambassador Title
- Honorary Citizenship of the State of Georgia
It was more than an award ceremony. It was the locker room celebration after a lifetime of playing the game with passion, strategy, and heart.
Coaching Women to Rise
Every team needs a coach who sees their potential. Bishop Adejumo’s rallying cry to women everywhere is simple: “You are not limited. You are called. You are chosen.”
She calls women off the sidelines and into the game of destiny.
- To those struggling with confidence, she says: Suit up.
- To those balancing family and career, she says: Play smart and strong.
- To those overlooked by the world, she says: The scoreboard isn’t final until you finish the game.
Her words carry the weight of a halftime speech — the kind that fires up players to go back out and win.
The Scoreboard of Influence
The recognitions she received represent the milestones of her career:
- The Doctorate is the academic recognition of her mastery.
- The Peace Award is the medal for her role as a reconciler.
- The UN Global Ambassador Title is her call-up to the world stage.
- The Georgia Honorary Citizenship is proof her reach extends far beyond home turf.
Each is a scoreboard reminder that when you play with purpose, the wins keep adding up.

Her books will coach readers for generations.
