Late popular gospel minister, Toun Soetan
Popular Nigerian gospel minister and evangelist, Toun Soetan, is dead.
Soetan was widely known for her passionate preaching, strong evangelical outreach, and dedication to Christian ministry.
Over the years, she built a reputation as a committed servant of God whose teachings and revival meetings impacted many lives across different parts of the country.
Her ministry focused largely on spiritual revival, prayer, and evangelism, and attracted followers from different Christian denominations.
Many believers regarded her as a voice of spiritual awakening who devoted decades to spreading the Christian faith.
The late evangelist was also regarded as one of the few scandal-free gospel music crooners during her lifetime.
Former secretary of the Oyo State chapter of the Entertainment Writers Association of Nigeria (EWAN), Alhaji Kunle Bakare, described the late gospel musician as a true God-sent because of her carefully selected gospel music lyrics.
“The late gospel music player will also be remembered for her music college, where she trained so many gospel music players, most of whom are reigning today,” Bakare said.
Also confirming her death, a gospel musician, Peters Olaniyi Olusegun, in a post on Facebook wrote, “We just lost another Legend this morning, Mummy Toun Soetan.
“May the Lord be with the family and Daddy Titus Soetan.” (Nigerian Tribune)
