Ventura County Chapter Leadership Team
Local Director - Olu Adefope
Olu has been happily married to his wife, Deanna, since 2016 and they have a beautiful little girl named Evelyn. Olu started volunteering with CEF South Bay back in 2011 while he worked full time in the electronic field. However, Olu has always felt the Lord calling him into full time ministry. In 2019, Olu became the Local Director for the CEF Ventura County Chapter. Olu’s goal is to facilitate a healthy relationship between CEF® and its local community. He works alongside the volunteers, churches, and committee members to help cultivate a thriving ministry. Olu has been involved in different aspects of ministry for many years from speaking, mentoring, teacher training, and telling Bible stories to little children. He is also an Associate Pastor for children and youth at a church in his local community.
