Babalola preached a Christian revival, attacking traditional religious practices, burning fetishes, idols, and witchcraft paraphernalia in grand bonfires, and forbidding polygamy. The Christ Apostolic Church, which he founded in 1955, took its name from a British denomination that helped in its formation.
Babalola alihubiri uamsho wa kikristo, akishambulia desturi za jadi za kidini, akiteketeza visanamu, vimungu, na vikorokoro vya uchawi katika mioto mikubwa, na kukataza mitala. Christ Apostolic Church, ambalo alianzisha mwaka 1955, lilichukua jina toka madhehebu ya kingereza iliyosaidia uanzishwaji wake.
