In an age of globalization, many African traditions are at risk of being forgotten or misunderstood. Dele Tomori stands at the intersection of faith and culture, reminding us that preserving heritage is not a distraction from spirituality—it is an expression of it.
“You can be a strong Christian and still be proud of your roots. Our traditions are rich with wisdom, beauty, and godly values,” Dele insists.
He emphasizes that many elements of Yoruba tradition—respect for elders, communal responsibility, oral history, and music—are in harmony with Biblical principles. Instead of discarding these traditions, Dele refines them and uses them to amplify God’s message.
His ministry includes teaching young people about the beauty of the Yoruba language, storytelling, chants, and proverbs. By doing this, he helps them find their identity in both Christ and culture.
This cultural revival is not just local—it resonates with Yoruba communities in the diaspora who crave a connection to home. Dele’s online content, radio shows, and live events serve as bridges, bringing the old and the new together in worship.
