“Oh my God, this is fantastic, the whole Psalm 119”, Mama Ajayi said as the young Seraph got to Chapter 176 without any mistake, Mama Ajayi jumped up from her seat and embraced Tunmise who was being cheered by the congregation.
Rev. Mother Ajayi instantly awarded her scholarship and promised to ensure she had the best of education anywhere in the world.

Tunmise said, “Mama Ajayi had spoken to me on Monday evening about the scholarship and she is already working it out with my dad. I am most grateful to her. We all look up to her as the face of Seraph and she is the best thing to happen to the Christendom at this period not only to white garment churches. God will continue to bless her. I am also happy to be named Easter”.

She also thanked her mother, Mother in Israel Grace Adeyemi for asking her to study Psalm 119 and recite it during the Juvenile anniversary of her local church in 2015.
She said, “The whole story started from my mother when she asked me few days to celebrate our Children anniversary to recite Psalm 119. I said it was not possible but she pleaded with me to give it a trial and I was surprised to make it then. I was only 14 years old and SSS 2 then. But she kept on encouraging me to constantly read it. She is a mother in a million and a huge pillar of support”.
She urged her fellow youths to see themselves as agents of change that will make Seraph better and use their talents for what will uplift the Christendom and C & S in particular. “I am always proud to be a Seraph”, She concluded.

He thanked Mother Ajayi for her burning desire to uplift the church and assist many young talented Christians to achieve their dreams.
