She is also the State Coordinator of Women Aflame International – a global network of praying women from all walks of life who are set apart by their good works in community service and the total wellbeing of humankind.
The ministry works of Pastor Aderoju Ajibade spans over two and half decades, which enabled her to serve in various leadership capacities and discovered the call of God for her life while serving. Through the passion that she has for women and children going through distress and the challenges of life, Job 14:7 was impressed in her spirit in the year 2018 by the Holy Spirit. (For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again and that its tender shoots will not cease Job 14:17).” This led her to establish Tender Roots as an organization that caters for women going through marital challenges, widows, widowers, orphans, children, and youths who are vulnerable. Today, Tender Roots has its presence in four cities in Nigeria – Ogbomosho, Ibadan, Benin, and Lagos. Tender Roots is also located in the city of Blantyre, in Malawi and working to break new frontiers beyond the borders of the United States of America.

Director
Rev. Grace Eledan is the President and Founder of Women Aflame International and Vice-President/Co-Founder of Grace Relief Initiative International. The gathering of Women for prayers and fellowship which she started in 1989 was culminated by a clarion call she received on Nov. 25, 2000 through which God gave her a marching order and said, “Mobilize women to evangelize.” The call gave birth to Women Aflame International (WAI). She also planted People of Faith Church in Brooklyn, New York. She is a prolific writer and an Evangelist by calling, who operates in the prophetic and healing gifts. She is a Co-Pastor with her husband at Leaders Church International in Atlanta, USA.

She was led in the same month of September 1989 to start a non-denominational fellowship known as “All Overcomers’ Christian Fellowship” through which God performed lots of miracles.
