Damilola Mike-Bamiloye, the son of the renowned Christian filmmaker and evangelist Mike Bamiloye, recently took to Instagram to pay tribute to his late mentor and father figure, Korede Are, whom he affectionately referred to as “Daddy Korede.”

In an emotional post, Damilola remembered him as a dedicated servant of God who sacrificed comfort, recognition, and even his own needs to further the gospel.

He expressed deep admiration, saying Daddy Korede tirelessly ensured that the word of God reached the most remote corners of the world.

Damilola, himself a notable figure in Christian entertainment, known for his work with Mount Zion Faith Ministries, mentioned how Daddy Korede embodied selflessness.

He described him as someone with a “heart of pure gold,” a man who lived with unwavering faith and integrity until his very last moments.

According to him, Daddy Korede didn’t seek fame or praise; instead, he remained committed to his calling, consistently honoring God with his gifts, passion, and humility.

As Damilola mourns, he also rejoices in Daddy Korede’s “glorious finish”—a life he says was celebrated by God Himself. Daddy Korede may have departed, but his legacy lives on, continuing to influence countless lives within the Christian community.
