Olu Robbin-Coker was born in Sierra Leone. He moved to the UK at age fifteen, where he completed his A-levels followed by a one-year program in evangelism and biblical studies. He attended the University of St. Andrews, earning a BS in psychology.
In 2001 he attended a Discipleship Training School and joined Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Working out of the national office in West Kilbride, he developed a student ministry, and then he moved to Dundee to set up a mobile student ministry team. Feeling called to work among marginalized people, he and his wife, Ester, moved to the inner city and started an urban ministry team, YWAM Dundee.
Olu presently leads the small urban ministry team in Dundee. He is part of the Scottish national leadership team of YWAM in Scotland and has an active speaking ministry that has taken him to Africa, Europe, North America, the Caribbean, and around the UK.
Olu and Ester have three lovely kids: Rebekah, Sophia, and Daniel.
