Joseph Ayo Babalola International Miracle Camp (or Babalola International Praying Ground) is the International Camp Retreat Center of Christ Apostolic Church[1] located at Ikeji-Arakeji in Oriade Local Government, Osun State.[citation needed] The postal code of BMIMC is 233121[2]. The Camp was initially 200 acres and has expanded to over 1,000 hectares.

The International Miracle Camp has up to 500 houses, restaurants, banks, bookstores, guest houses, and a market, a 5,000-capacity auditorium, prayer houses and a 40,000 auditorium where conferences are held.The Power House where Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola[3] is called to ministry is located in the camp. Beside the camp is where the church's university Joseph Ayo Babalola University[4] is located[5]. It is located on 7°24'55.0"N 4°58'05.5"E coordinate on the map.

The First General Evangelist Christ Apostolic Church, Joseph Ayo Babalola was called to ministry by God in 1928 at Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State. At the end of the camp is located the Ariran river where God called him.

Many years later, in 1988, God told a pastor in Christ Apostolic Church, Pastor Isaiah Ogunbomehin to site a prayer ground. He then went to meet the Traditional Ruler of the town and he was given a 200-acre land which later extended to about 1,000 hectares. The General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church, Prophet Hezekiah Oladeji [6]when speaking at a convention said, Babalola International Miracle Camp is like a river where other prayer grounds and prayer mountains draw from. The spot where God called Apostle Babalola was later renovated to a power house.
