Samuel Bilewu Joseph Oshoffa (May 18, 1909–September 10, 1985) was the founder of the Celestial Church of Christ after reportedly resurrecting people from the dead.
He founded the church in 1947 after being lost for three months near Porto-Novo in Benin.
The church now has its main offices in Bénin and Nigeria.
Five percent, or 400,000, of the 8,0 people of Benin are Celestial Christians.
Oshoffa was reported to have had 14 wives and 54 children when he died in 1985 although some say these figures are high.
