A Decade of Silence: The Story Behind C.A.C. Good Women Choir’s 10-Year Break

Introduction

Even the most faithful ministries sometimes face seasons of pause, and the story of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan is a testament to God’s timing and faithfulness. From 1995 to 2005, the choir experienced a temporary break, not because of waning passion or loss of vision, but due to a divine season of rest and restoration.

In 1995, Mrs. D.A. Fasoyin, the revered leader of the choir, was advised by her doctor to take a leave of absence. This recommendation came as she underwent medical therapy, and it became necessary for her to step back and focus entirely on her health. While this period required her personal attention, it did not mean the choir’s mission had ended.

During this time, the choir continued to meet regularly in their choir hall. They maintained their schedule of rehearsals and prayers, nurturing the spiritual unity and dedication that had always defined them. The only adjustments were that the choir temporarily paused church ministrations and studio recordings. Even in this quiet season, their commitment to God and music remained unwavering.

God’s timing, as always, was perfect. By 2003, after divine intervention and restoration of health, Mrs. Fasoyin began compiling songs at home. This effort marked the beginning of a powerful new chapter in her ministry and eventually led to the recording of her first solo album, “Ogo Ikehin,” in 2004. This album did more than just showcase her musical talent—it publicly signaled her return to active ministry and reminded all of the enduring anointing on her life.

The release of “Ogo Ikehin” not only marked Mrs. Fasoyin’s return but also reignited the collective ministry of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir. Choir members, who had remained spiritually connected during the break, were reunited and once again joined hands to bring glory to God. This reunion became a catalyst for preserving the choir’s rich musical heritage, as they began producing videos for their earlier albums.

Starting with “Odun Nlo Sopin” and later “Odun Yi Atura,” the choir reintroduced their most beloved songs to a new generation of listeners. These projects showcased the timeless quality of their music, combining traditional gospel sounds with an authenticity that had always distinguished the choir. Through this renewed ministry, the choir not only preserved its legacy but also expanded its reach, inspiring countless believers and uplifting hearts through worship.

Looking back, the 10-year pause was not a period of loss, but a season of preparation. It allowed healing, reflection, and divine orchestration of a comeback that strengthened the choir’s impact. Today, the story of this break serves as a powerful reminder: God’s work is never hindered by temporary pauses. When the timing is right, He restores, rejuvenates, and elevates His servants to fulfill their divine calling.

Truly, the ministry of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir stands as a testament to perseverance, faith, and God’s miraculous intervention. Their reunion and continued work are living proof of God’s faithfulness, and we give glory to Him for every song, every album, and every life touched through this anointed choir.
