I Left Harvesters Church Because The Minister I Was Dating Broke Up With Me – Morayo Brown

Television presenter, Morayo Afolabi Brown, has shared the personal story behind her decision to leave Harvesters International Christian Centre, revealing that a painful breakup played a major role in her departure from the church.

Speaking during an episode of The Morayo Show with Pastor Bolaji Idowu, Morayo recounted her early days at the church, describing it as the first church she attended after returning to Nigeria.

Naija News reports that she said she was deeply involved in church activities and served as the head usher at the time.

According to her, she was in a relationship with a fellow minister in the church, and the two worked closely together in ministry.

However, the relationship eventually came to an end, leaving her emotionally affected.

Morayo explained that remaining in the same church environment became difficult after the breakup.

She recalled that church leaders, including Pastor Bolaji Idowu, encouraged her to stay despite the situation. She said efforts were made to convince her not to leave, even after the relationship had ended.

The media personality revealed that both she and her former partner attended ministers’ meetings together before their separation.

After the breakup, she chose to step away from the church rather than continue serving in the same environment.

She said: “Many of you don’t know that my very first church in Nigeria was Harvesters International. And I was head usher in that church. Yes. And I left because of a man. So what happened was that I was dating a minister in HICC. Both of us were really close. And then he broke up with me.

“And then Pastor Bolaji was trying to get us to stay. We were in a ministers’ meeting and we had broken up. After that, Pastor Bolaji begged me not to go, but I left. That was the reason why I left. I left Harvesters Church because of a man. He broke up with me. We were both ministers at the church; I was the head usher, and he was a minister.”
