Life & Ministry

A Legacy of Service, Impact, Faith, and Love

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.

"A Tribute to Pastor Theo Owase Today we celebrate a man who wore many crowns, and wore them well. Pastor Theo, thank you for fathering us, for coaching us, and for showing us what it means to serve God with all your heart. Your race is finished, your faith is kept. And the seeds you planted will keep growing for generations. A loving father whose love mirrored Christ. A coach who trained us for life and for purpose. A helper in God’s war— a prayer warrior, a soul winner, a faithful servant. He lived to serve, he led to build, and he loved to the very end. Though he is gone, his legacy of faith, discipline, and compassion lives on in us. To many, he was a coach— not just on the field, but in life. Pastor saw potential where we saw weakness. He pushed us past our limits, not to break us, but to build us. He believed in discipline, in showing up, in finishing strong. We love you. We honor you. We will continue the work. Rest in the bosom of the Lord."

"Dear Beloved Pastor Theo You were a man of such warmth. I will always remember meeting you for the first time when you came to the UK. You were even much more warm. I recall my first time in Nigeria you wanted to make sure I was comfortable and said lunch is on me buy anything. Pastor Theo you were one of a kind, the only one like you in every which way. I am glad I had the privilege of knowing you on this side of heaven. You promised me a blue carpet and when we meet I expect nothing less. I love you dearly and I will miss your warm smile."

"TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED BROTHER, PASTOR THEO — PEE TEE Dearest Pastor Theo… PEE TEE, as I fondly called you… Today and always, I will celebrate the life you lived in Christ—a life of purpose, service, love, and impact. PEE TEE, you truly lived your name, THEOPHILUS—a friend and lover of God. I admired the way you loved and cherished people. I admired the way you loved and cared for children. I watched how you honoured everyone who was your boss at different times in ministry, and I learnt so much from your humility, loyalty, and respect for leadership. Growing up, everything about you was about God. You served Him and loved Him with everything you had. Your life was a testimony of devotion and commitment to the things of God. Your passion for the vision as delivered to us by our dear Man of God was contagious. Your diligence, resilience, and faith to impact your world and everyone within your sphere of contact were unparalleled and truly worth emulating. My beloved brother, words can never truly express how much you meant to me. You treated me with so much love, kindness, and respect. After our dear mum passed away 19 years ago, you honoured me not merely as your only sister, but as a mother. That place you gave me in your heart is something I will cherish forever. PEE TEE, you were just one call away........... You checked up on all of us every day. You cared. You were always there! Family ia a value you held dearly.... What a saint you are! You were a brother who cared deeply, showed appreciation, and made me feel valued. Your love and respect brought me so much joy, and I will forever be grateful to God for the beautiful bond we shared. Your absence has left a deep emptiness in my heart. Words cannot truly elucidate how much I miss you, my brother. I have unconsciously dialled your number several times over the past few days, only to remember that you are no longer at the other end of the phone. I miss your voice. I miss your presence. I miss your kindness. I miss the way you made me and your brothers feel loved, valued, and honoured. Though you are no longer here with us in the flesh, the memories of your love, your service, your laughter, and your impact will remain in my heart forever. I thank God for giving me a brother like you. I take strong solace in the Scripture that says, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” I hold firmly to the Holy Spirit, our Comforter and Advocate, who strengthens us in this season of loss. Your numerous works of faith and your impact on the lives of many will live on. The seeds you planted through your love, service, sacrifice, and devotion to God will continue to bear fruit. You lived a life of purpose. You lived a life of service. You lived a life of faith. You lived a life that pointed people to God. Rest peacefully, my dear brother, Pastor Theo. You are deeply loved, greatly cherished, profoundly missed, and forever honoured in my heart. PEE TEE you are forever in my heart and your memories can never be forgotten Your legacy will live on. And your love will never be forgotten. sleep on, rest peacefully my beloved brother, we will see at the resurrection morning. I love you endlessly my brother Pastor Rita Owase-Adeboyejo Sister"

"TRIBUTE TO PASTOR THEO Words cannot fully express the gratitude in my heart for Pastor Theo. Today I celebrate a life that changed mine forever. When I gave my life to Christ as a student at Kenyatta University, it was through Believers Loveworld (BLW). I was discipled by Pastor Evans and Pastor Victor, who faithfully served under Pastor Theo. Through their ministry, I encountered Jesus, and my life has never been the same. I thank God for Pastor Theo, who answered the call of God and left his home in Nigeria to come to Kenya with a heart to reach university students with the Gospel through the ministry of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. Because of his obedience, BLW was established in our universities, and countless lives, including mine, were transformed. Through that ministry, I came to know who I am in Christ. I discovered the truth that Christ in me is the hope of glory, and that in Him I live, move, and have my being. Those truths have shaped my walk with God and continue to anchor my life every day. Pastor Theo, thank you for saying yes to God's call. Thank you for pouring your life into raising disciples and winning souls. Your labor in the Lord was not in vain. I am one of the many lives that bear the fruit of your obedience, and for that I will always thank God. Though our hearts are heavy, we rejoice because you are now in the presence of the Lord whom you served so faithfully. Until we meet again at Jesus' feet. With heartfelt gratitude, Caroline Mugure Karanu 📺 Caroline Glory on YouTube"
