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.

"Hi pastor, I know you might not read this but am leaving this here in hopes that you could somehow see it It's been a month of not being able to reach you any more...I've been in denial hoping that somehow you would just reply my message or call me back . Everybody keeps saying "it is well" but i honestly don't know how to react ,I've never even written a tribute before ,I can't believe yours happened to be the first . You were a father, a friend and my pastor..I remember how your teachings always felt like home,u spoke directly from your heart..I wondered how u were able to give attention to everyone without anyone feeling left out You would always ask about school and business, your "how are you" meant I could express myself I'm so glad I met you and i experienced the outpouring of the Fathers love through you I won't say "Rest well or goodbye" because this still feels so unreal."

"Wow, When I first heard for your passing, I thought it was promotion to another assignment but when it came to my understanding, the words couldn't form because I felt it was impossible. Thank you for your warmth and kindness, for your inspiring faith, for relentless love for the Lord and people. You were indeed God's general. Till we meet at the rapture, I love you sir."

"I have still not accepted yet the news about your passing away Highly Esteemed Pastor Theophilus Sir. To me I have not woken up from the sleep yet because am still dreaming and contemplating if it really happened. But the Highly Esteemed Sec Gen has confirmed and I am still yet to accept, please come back to this side of heaven sir. You congratulated me in the just past ICLC and I was wondering what you were congratulating for; I knew you knew you had to ordain me so you were congratulating me ahead of time. You also gave me a personal prophecy during our Monday strategic meeting which I don't take lightly at all. It appears to me as you giving me that prophecy was part of your assignment to be completed before you were raptutered. Thank you for coming at such a time as this. To know you was to be challenged to grow, to believe bigger, and to love deeper. You saw potential in people long before they could see it in themselves, nurturing faith and purpose in countlessly many lives. Though your physical departure leaves a profound void, your legacy is far from over. The seeds you planted in our hearts will continue to yield fruit for generations to come. Your passion lives on in the lives you have transformed, the leaders you raised, and the gospel message you so faithfully championed. My father my father, the chariot of West Africa. Anytime I sit to meditate and I see your flyer and your picture pops up in my mind, tears Fall from my chick, but I quickly wipe it, my father of faith. One thing I know, is that the word always works. The Lord is my strength, the Lord is our strength and we are strengthed like never before. I know you can see us together with all the Saints in heaven cheering us on, yes that's my boy, don't stop. you can do it, that's the right thing, continue, don't cower. You have left an indelible mark on my heart to always remember, even that prophecy. The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever.., I know you can come back to this side of heaven, but better still the secret things belong unto the Lord our God."

"IN LOVING MEMORY OF PASTOR THEOPHILUS OWASE The passing of Pastor Theophilus Owase is a profound loss to his family, the church, and everyone whose life was touched by his presence. Though words can hardly express the pain of saying goodbye, we are grateful for the life he lived and the legacy of faith, love, service, and dedication he leaves behind. Pastor Theophilus was more than a pastor; he was a servant of God, a source of encouragement, and a guiding light to many. Through his ministry and his walk of faith, he demonstrated the importance of trusting God, serving others, and remaining steadfast even in difficult times. His kindness, wisdom, humility, and commitment to the work of God will remain in the hearts of those who knew him. His departure reminds us that life is temporary, but the impact of a life devoted to God can continue for generations. The lessons he taught, the prayers he offered, the lives he encouraged, and the seeds of faith he planted will continue to speak even though he is no longer with us. As we mourn his passing, we also celebrate the remarkable life he lived. His journey on earth may have come to an end, but his legacy will continue through the people he inspired and the work he faithfully carried out.

"My Advantage, My Pastor, My Boss In every thing, we give thanks as admonished by the scripture. The Highly Esteemed Pastor Theophilus Owase was more than a pastor to me; he was my advantage. He affectionately and truly called me His Son, a rare privilege I enjoyed under his leadership. Pastor Theophilus taught me to love, give, dare and win in the wars of the Lord. ‎I called him "my advantage" because He truly is the advantage. Like Moses to Joshua, in Exodus 17:11a, 'As long as Moses held up the staff in his hand, the Israelites had the advantage, so was pastor to me as He says, "Pastor Manasseh, I am praying for you. You will do exploits." Yes, we did exploits! ‎We won two global awards for the first time because of you. We use the stadium for crusade for the first time because of you. There are many 'firsts' you made happened in partnership, pioneering, growth, leadership among others. ‎As I reminisce your investment in me and the zone, it is worth saying Thank You Sir for living for the Lord and showing us the way. The vision you showed us in line with the Ministry of Our Dear Man of God like Habakkuk 2:2 says...write the vision and make plain on tables is truly written plainly in the tables of our hearts; We continue the mandate of racing for the last man and manifesting the vision of the ministry. I thank God you came and we are the fruits of your labor. As we mourn for your absence and rejoice for your presence with the Lord, we pray for the comfort of the spirit to the family and us all. I love you always, My Advantage."
