Pastor Theophilus Owase was more than a minister; he was a spiritual architect, a compassionate mentor, and a beacon of unwavering faith. Born on March 24, 1982, into the loving home of Late Elder Peter and Late Deaconess Christiana Owase, he was the sixth child in a family of seven—an upbringing that cultivated his deep humility, resilience, and profound sense of responsibility.
His academic journey laid the groundwork for a life of discipline and excellence. A product of St. Charles Secondary School (1998–2002), he went on to pursue a degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering at Ambrose Alli University (AAU), graduating in 2007. Though he honed his professional skills during a practical training year at TOTAL Energy in 2006, his true calling was already taking shape in the spiritual realm.
Pastor Theophilus’s decades of active ministry were defined by a rare combination of profound biblical exposition and boundless empathy. As a global ambassador for the Gospel, he organized impactful programs across East Africa, West Africa, and Asia drawing thousands into the Kingdom. Under his visionary tenure, the BLW Zone A Zonal facility at AAU saw monumental physical and spiritual progress—including structural completion, land expansion, fencing, and critical infrastructure development.
Beyond the pulpit, his passion for community development and youth mentorship was undeniable. Believing that faith was best expressed through compassionate action, he established outreach initiatives that fed families, supported students, and built enduring bonds of unity across diverse communities.
While his transition in July 2026 leaves a deep void in the hearts of his family, congregation, and the countless lives he touched, his spirit lives on. We celebrate a journey faithfully run, a race well fought, and a Kingdom impact that will echo across generations.

"It’s almost unbelievable that I am writing this Pastor, Sir, but I want to thank God that I came in contact with you. I thank God for the impact you made in my life. Thank you for being my father and guide. Thank you for the personal counsel and guidance. Thank you for helping me with the challenges I had at home. Thank you for taking it upon yourself to make sure I was okay in school (Ambrose Alli University). You put me in a weekly ecology class when you didn’t have to. You accommodated me in the staff quarter just to make life easy for me. Countless times I would come to you with a challenge and you would guide me just like a father would. Thank you for buying me my first good phone. I know for sure that you love me because you showed it. I love you so much, Sir. I will continue to thank God for the life you lived. Oh, what a beautiful life! I will take comfort in the truth that I will get to see you someday soon, during the resurrection morning. You loved to sing and worship, and I can just imagine you worshipping with the angels. Farewell, my father!"
"Dearest father, my life coach, a teacher, a father you are to me indeed. There is no birthday that I don’t receive a call from you, even after campus, you keep calling, asking me about my family and especially my elder sister. Your love towards me and my siblings, words could not say it all. I am grateful for your show of love. I am forever grateful for the love and care, your impact and investment in my life. We always show that you are my father indeed. Dearly Pastor, indeed, it lives on. Thank you for the training back then in Campus. I love you so dearly, Sir"
"Goodbye for now, Pastor, till we meet again to part no more! This is our assurance; the reason why we will choose not to sorrow because we know that you have gone to be with the one who called you here on earth. Rest Well, Sir!"
