Adieu, Pastor Theophilus Owase of God."

"In Loving Memory of Highly Esteemed Pastor Tee We gather not to mourn a loss but to celebrate a life well-lived. We are not here to say goodbye but to say "well done" to a faithful general. I met Pastor Tee at Ambrose Alli University during a season when I needed direction, when the weight of campus life and personal challenges threatened to pull me under. He wasn't just a leader to me, He was intentionality personified. He taught us the Word of God not as a lecture but as life. He didn't just preach care. He embodied it. He didn't just encourage us in words. He backed it with deeds. I remember one day vividly. I had made a difficult decision to leave campus ministry for church ministry due to some personal challenges. I was uncertain, burdened, and carrying questions I couldn't articulate. He called me to his office. He didn't scold. He didn't question. He prayed. He spoke life. He released me with grace and truth woven together. That's who he was. There was something distinctive about him. Something that reminded me of our Man of God, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome: the calm, the gentle steps, the smile, and the quiet authority that comes from walking with God. Today, I am a different person because he invested in me. I am in ministry, I am walking in purpose, I am standing in faith because a man of God saw something in me and refused to let me forget it. And I am not alone. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, who can tell similar stories. Lives shaped. Destinies released. Faith ignited. That's the measure of a true shepherd. His sudden departure is still a mystery to me. I won't pretend to understand. But I know this: he is not lost. He is seated in heavenly places, not as a metaphor, not as a comforting phrase, but as a realistic reality. He taught us about heaven. He preached about eternity. And now he is there. Face to face with the Savior he loved and served. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." — Psalm 116:15"

"To my most Highly Esteemed Pastor Tee. I still can't believe that you are no more, but I take solace and assurance that we'll meet again. Thank you so much Pastor Sir for loving me, training me and giving me the platform to serve while in campus. There's so much to say but I can say it all. I'm grateful to God for the most exemplary life of impact you lived. I love you sir. Rest well sir, till Rapture"
