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.

"*In Loving Memory Esteemed Pastor Theo, Words will fail me to describe who you were. First, I want you to know I am not okay. Since the day I heard of your passing, I kept telling everyone that you would wake up. That God would perform a wonder with your life and the world and the enemies around would marvel. You didn’t come back. Trust me, it hurts. I can’t even look at your pictures online anymore because I refused to accept that you are gone. To the extent that I told someone not to post your picture, that because of you, there would be a miracle at that mortuary. But you didn’t make my word come to pass because you have chosen to go and rest far from this wicked world. When I look at your family and think of the pain of losing you so early to cold death, it breaks me. But who am I to question God? God knows best. Thank you, Peetee, for all your service to God and to humanity. Thank you for every sacrifice you made here on earth. Each one will never be forgotten. For me, each time I came to my Pastor’s house and met you my God, your warm smile when I greeted you was a miracle on its own. I never saw you upset or noisy. You were so calm, full of life, always smiling and making those around you happy. Thank you for living an exemplary life. Your benevolent lifestyle is one in a million. Thank you for being that lovely man who truly loved God and carried the gospel everywhere. Leaving your second mom, PR, like this is not fair on us at all. But who are we to question God? You have gone to be with the Lord. But trust me, all of your works here on earth will never be forgotten. Your teachings have touched so many lives. Surely, you have gone to be with the Lord you served so faithfully. I pray that God will comfort us all and He will strengthen those of us you left behind — *THE CHURCH, THE BRETHREN, YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS*. May God keep your family, uphold them, and guide all their decisions in life. Grant them the strength to bear this loss. I believe and know you are in the right place with the Lord, far above the principalities and powers of darkness of this world. I only just accepted it fully today when I got your funeral invite that you have chosen to go and leave us here on earth. Because I always believed you could come back. But what can we do? You have gone. May God strengthen us all. Keep resting, Peetee, in the bosom of the Most High God, till we meet again to part no more. *Rest in peace, Dear Esteemed Pastor Theo.* Sister Uchechi Omeonu Family/Member."

"Tribute to Pastor Theo It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the passing of our beloved Pastor Theo, who has gone to be with the Lord. Pastor Theo was a very lovely, kindhearted, and compassionate man. Everyone who came around him could feel his warmth, love, and genuine care. He touched many lives in beautiful and meaningful ways, and those who had the privilege of knowing him were truly blessed by his presence. His kindness, humility, and the joy he brought to others will remain in our hearts and memories. Though we will deeply miss him, we are comforted by the knowledge that he has gone to rest with the Lord. May God comfort his family, loved ones, and everyone who mourns his passing.
