About Us
How Wellspring Began
Wellspring was born from a call to raise up believers who are not just converts, but mature, equipped ministers of the gospel.
Wellspring Ministry Training Institute began with a clear mandate: to build a generation of believers who understand what they believe and can carry it into real ministry.
Founded by Apostle Yemi Akins, Wellspring was established as a 21st-century apostolic training center — rooted in scripture, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and built around one goal: practical, lasting transformation.

Apostle Yemi Akins
Apostle Yemi Akins is the founder and lead teacher at Wellspring — known for a teaching style that takes complex biblical truth and makes it clear, accessible, and immediately applicable to daily life.
His ministry is marked by depth without complication: helping believers move from information to transformation. Beyond the pulpit, he's a devoted husband and father, living out the same balance of purpose and family he teaches others to pursue.
“His mission is simple: to see believers equipped, empowered, and confidently deployed into what God has called them to do.”
