The Birth of a Legacy: How C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan ‘Seed’ Came to Be
Introduction
The story behind the formation of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan “Seed” is one rooted in legacy, continuity, and a deep desire to preserve a divinely inspired ministry. It is a story that reflects both the realities of time and the faith that refuses to allow a God-given vision to fade away.
At its inception, the C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan was a large and vibrant group, boasting a membership of about 150 women. United by a shared passion for gospel music and evangelism, the choir flourished and became a powerful instrument through which God touched lives across Nigeria. However, as the years passed, unavoidable changes began to occur. The creation of new states from the old Oyo State led to relocation and separation of members, reducing the choir’s strength to about 70.
With the passage of time came even greater challenges. Age took its toll, and death claimed some faithful members who had labored tirelessly in the ministry. Gradually, the once-large choir dwindled to about 10 members. By January 2024, only five surviving members remained—faithful witnesses to decades of sacrifice, worship, and service, all to the glory of God.
Faced with this reality, the leadership of the choir recognized an urgent need to act. The question was no longer whether the choir had a glorious past—it clearly did—but whether its legacy would continue into the future. Preserving the spiritual heritage, sound, and message of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir became an imperative responsibility.
In response to this need, the leadership made a heartfelt appeal during one of the choir’s Annual Conventions. The call was directed specifically to the children of choir members who were present at the convention—young men and women who carried the heritage of faith and music within them. Those with a passion for gospel music were encouraged to step forward and become part of the choir, not merely as singers, but as carriers of a legacy.
Although the response to this appeal was not overwhelming, it was significant. A few of the choir members’ children expressed their willingness to join and continue the work. This small but meaningful response marked the beginning of what is now known as the C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan “Seed.” Just like a seed planted in faith, it represented hope, continuity, and the promise of growth.
As time went on, the structure of the choir evolved further. To support the ongoing ministrations of Mama D.A. Fasoyin, some professional session musicians and backup singers were incorporated into the group. These individuals now serve as musical support during church ministrations and other Christian engagements, ensuring that the message of the gospel continues to be delivered with excellence and spiritual sensitivity.
The formation of the “Seed” is a powerful reminder that God’s work does not end with one generation. Even when numbers are few, purpose remains strong. The C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan “Seed” stands as a testimony that legacy, when nurtured with faith and vision, will always find a way to grow and flourish.
