I would like to opine that the late Evangelist Cornelius Adam Igbudu was indeed a reputable evangelistic catalyst for gospel propagation and church growth. Words are inadequate to describe his immense contributions to the spread of the gospel of Christ across Nigeria, which has not gone unnoticed; with the late Nigerian erudite scholar Professor Peter Palmer Ekeh writing in page 220 of his 2007 book titled: History of the Urhobo People of Niger Delta, that “The evangelical movement of Adam’s Anglican Preaching Society (A.A.P.S.), which he founded, bestrode the Anglican Communion in the Former Bendel State. It created waves of mass conversions”.
Today, the origin of several existing independent churches (for example, God’s Grace Ministry led by Bishop Daniel Dikeji MiyeriJesu), is traceable to the evangelical group founded by the late cleric. Also, the national evangelistic impact of the A.A.P.S., or perhaps the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), rests on his remarkable achievements.
