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 My Pastor, Mentor, and Father in Faith In Loving Memory of Pastor Theophillus Owase There are some people whose impact on our lives cannot be adequately measured by words. They come into our lives as teachers, mentors, leaders, and guides, but with time, they become much more than that they become part of the story of who we are. For me, Pastor Theophillus Owase was one of those rare people. It is difficult to find the right words to describe what his life and leadership have meant to me. Even in this moment of grief, I find myself more grateful than sorrowful for the privilege of having known him, worked with him, and learned from him. Pastor, your leadership was not simply about giving instructions; it was about shaping people. Your continuous guidance, correction, mentorship, and encouragement have contributed greatly to the person I am becoming today. There were moments when your corrections were difficult to receive, but with the passage of time, I have come to understand that they were never rooted in criticism. They were rooted in love, growth, and your desire to see me become better. You taught me that excellence is not accidental. You taught me to pay attention to the little things, to remain focused, to be responsible, and to approach every assignment with purpose. Through your leadership, I learned that what we do matters, and that our lives should be lived intentionally. But beyond being my pastor and leader, you were someone who genuinely cared about me. Your love towards me as a staff member and as a member of the church was one of the things that touched me most deeply. It was a love that was not dependent on perfection. It was patient, corrective, encouraging, and unconditional. You believed in people, and I was privileged to experience that belief personally. Your life also deepened my relationship with God. Through your teachings, your example, your discipline, and the way you carried the responsibility of leadership, you helped me understand that serving God is more than words. It is a life of character, sacrifice, discipline, obedience, and impact. You taught me to think beyond myself. You taught me to live a life of impact, focus, and purpose. You reminded me, directly and indirectly, that the measure of a life is not merely in how long it is lived, but in what is accomplished through it and in the lives that are changed along the way. Today, as I look back, I realize that many of the lessons you taught me will continue to speak long after your voice has become silent. Your corrections will continue to guide me. Your counsel will continue to influence my decisions. Your example will continue to challenge me to become better. And the love you showed me will remain a precious part of my story. You may no longer be here physically to correct me, guide me, or ask me to do better, but the seeds you planted in me are still alive. And I pray that my life will become evidence that your investment in me was not in vain. Pastor, thank you. Thank you for leading me. Thank you for correcting me. Thank you for mentoring me. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for teaching me to serve with purpose. Thank you for helping me grow in my relationship with God. Thank you for showing me that leadership is not merely a position, but a responsibility to build others. Your departure in July has left a space that cannot easily be filled. Yet, I take comfort in knowing that a life that touched so many people can never truly be forgotten. I will carry your lessons with me. I will carry your corrections with me. I will carry your love with me. And, most importantly, I will carry the values you instilled in me into every place life takes me. I pray that the life I live from this point forward will honour the investment you made in me. You were my pastor, my leader, my mentor, and a father in faith. And for the privilege of knowing you, I will forever be grateful. Rest well, Highly esteemed Pastor Theophillus Owase. Your voice may have fallen silent, but your lessons will continue to speak through the lives you touched. Your legacy lives on."

"A TRIBUTE TO MY DEARLY BELOVED BROTHER AND FRIEND Pastor Theophilus Owase My dearly beloved brother and friend, It is difficult to write a tribute for you at a time like this. Words seem inadequate to express the depth of what you meant to me and to so many whose lives you touched. Yet, the life of impact, love, compassion, and selflessness you demonstrated will never be forgotten—not even in centuries to come. I remember vividly how you stood by me in 2023, when I was preparing to get married. You stepped into the gap when family and friends could not, and you became a tremendous source of strength and encouragement to me. You constantly called to check on me, guiding me through every stage and ensuring that everything was put in place for the success of the wedding. Your financial support was also a major blessing to me. You gave not merely from what you had, but from a heart filled with genuine love and concern. On the day of my wedding, I can still remember how you travelled down to join us in church, despite the demands of your schedule and all the odds that could have prevented you from coming. You came simply to demonstrate that “liquid love” that flowed so freely from you to everyone around you. That is the kind of man Pastor Theophilus Owase was. Loving. Compassionate. Selfless. Ever-supportive. A true brother and friend. Your life preached a sermon that words could never fully capture. You showed us that love is not merely something we say—it is something we demonstrate through our presence, sacrifices, generosity, and willingness to stand with others when they need us most. Pastor Theo, I am deeply grateful that God allowed our paths to cross. I am grateful for your friendship, your brotherhood, your counsel, your support, and every expression of love you showed me. Though my heart is heavy, I choose to remember you with gratitude for a life that made a difference. I LOVE YOU, SIR. Your impact lives on in the hearts of the many people you touched. Rest in the Lord, dear brother and friend. SEE YOU AGAIN AT THE RESURRECTION DAY. Until then, your memory remains a blessing."

Pastor Benjamin Ibhazehiokhonlen

"All I can say is thank you Sir. I wasn't close to Pastor but his message helped me love triumphantly in my darkest days in Uni. When I became a PCF leader, Pastor called me asking me my target for Sunday service as a new pcf leader and I told him 25. He said " you must be joking" and quickly I said " 100 Sir", and the next thing he said was " that's good" I became with 50 first timer that sund day minus the 10 members in the pcf. Pastor Sir, thank you for showing me what it means by the just shall live by faith. I watched how you love people, even those that were closed to you. I was touch and I love my member, even church members as my family, because the truly are!!!"
