Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola was the renowned founder of the first indigenous church in Africa, the Christ Apostolic Church. His original native town was a thing of controversy at a time, but, he was originally from Odo Owa, in present Kwara State. The Christ Apostolic Church was formed after Ayo Babalola received revelations that he should join a church in Lagos, (The Apostolic Church).

The church was then having some internal disagreements among native members(the church was an international church, brought from Penygrous, United Kingdom). He helped slightly in resolving some of the issues in the church but, it was from there he answered the call to establish Christ Apostolic Church. The headquarters of CAC was then in Ibadan, with Oba Akinyele, the then Olubadan as the first President, having been converted and given his life to Christ. Ayo Babalola was renowned for his unrelenting evangelism, he did not covet any position, instead, he remained as an evangelist, who specialised in evangelism and the conversion of souls and transformation of the diabolical societies of then.

His evangelism work requires travelling from one place to another. As the areas were in the 30s and 40s, everywhere was still under the colonial government of the British, no development of any kind save the few touches of houses and laterite roads, where travellers do travel from one village to another. It was during this difficult period that Apostle Ayo Babalola, alongside his team, penetrated the various towns and villages around, propagating the gospel of the Lords Jesus Christ.

Records have it that, the villages he visited on evangelism received him sarcastically, with the hope that, the diabolical activities in the towns, common, in those days would overpower him and mess up his zeal to preach the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. But, to their amazement, the great Apostle was heavily anointed, all the shrines and magics belonging to the natives were burnt and the owners publicly surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ.

Having converted a lot of souls in all the villages, and with the miracles that followed his ministrations, the townships had to release some of their lands for him to build his church. As part of the call he received in his ministry, prayer mountains were established in some of the towns. Those mountains served as his restore points where he goes to recharge himself in prayers and fastings after he might have evangelised and performed outstanding miracles through the move of the Holy Spirit.

The mountains he established are still around and functional, till today. We shall list some of the mountains and the various towns they are located in the southwestern part of Nigeria.
