Morufat “MO” Adedoyin Ogunkoya
Founder & Spiritual Leader
I'm a passionate, bold, and deeply rooted spiritual leader on a mission to empower and inspire others through our prayer group, When Esthers Arise. My passion is to create an atmosphere of courage, audacity, and trust in God's power — helping women reclaim their identity in Christ and break through life's challenges. Whether through devotionals that speak directly to the soul or retreats to lay strong spiritual foundations, my focus on faith, purpose, and restoration reflects a deep desire to see others walk in their God-given authority, just like Esther in the Bible. I'm called to encourage others to rise, trusting God over everything — even when it feels like everything is falling apart. With Jesus' love, I welcome you.
