Pastor Theophilus Owase

"Dear Father, I've thought countlessly on the words to write. I've never imagined writing such words for you. Each day has been heavy on my heart. Each morning and night my heart hopes for a truly different news. I still check my phone waiting for your response, lols. Even now, i write with tears pouring down my face, laughter, smiles, a heavy heart, but a thankful spirit. My Father, no words can describe how i've felt this past month. My heart is heavy not because we do not have hope, no, we are the ones who know the hope of our calling. My heart is heavy instead, because i just truly miss you. I miss everything Papa. I miss your random calls and prayers. I miss your voice. I miss your stern correction. I miss the faith you so embodied and exuded. Truly I miss your presence. I miss my dear friend and father. "Tata" as you'll fondly call me. "My Tata". Ahh, my Father. For someone who honestly shied away from deep connections with people, I still wonder how you connected straight to my heart. You told me in your deep baritone voice; "Tata, God has put me into your life as the Father that He knows you've longed for". Those were the most honest words. Pastor Sir, you saw me, the young hurting girl, and you led me straight into strength, truth, love and faith. You saw through my walls and appearances. You gave me opportunities to serve in ministry. You assured me of my victory. You held my hand through the turbulent storms of life. You never complained, you gave your all. You gave your love, witholding nothing back. You taught, preached, lived and displayed the life & nature of excellence. I could talk about your wins and impact in the lives of thousands, but first, i'd talk about your impact in my life. When I could speak or call no one else, you gave me listening ears and comforting but uplifting words. You carried my matter on your head, literally, lols. You'd say; "let the world know you're my daughter". You were so determined to see my succeed, that I just had to believe failure would never be an option. Each time you'd call, after the laughter and gists, you'd ask; "so what are you up to now?, what new thing are you doing? What plans are you making? How can i come in? do you need my advice or support?" Thank you for loving me loudly and boldy. Thank you for leading me in the right path. Thank you for showing a version of faith, excellence, focus, and determination, such that I had never known. Thank you for being my father, the one the Lord knew i needed. You'll forever remain a good man, a righteous and just man who served with all his heart and capacity. I rejoice and delight today knowing you are happy in the presence of our Master. I can't lie, i'm jealous that they'd get to enjoy your jokes, stories, and zeal. But i know we'll be reunited again come the rapture of the church. My Father, the most excellent of them all. I miss you Papa. I love you now and always. Always & Forever. Forever & Now. - Your Tata (Peejay) Pst Judith Omoike"

"It’s sad to know that someone whose good works have touched so many lives has gone to be with the Lord. I am deeply saddened and surprised, but I am comforted knowing that your sister, my dearest Pastor, has shown nothing less than the beautiful qualities I have heard and seen about you, Pastor Tee. We mourn your loss, but we rejoice because heaven has gained a beautiful soul. You will be dearly missed. 💔🕊️"

"May the Lord welcome him into His grace and peace. Great Man of God and hero of the faith. Thank you for being an inspiration to this generation. We will continue what you began."

"Your departure is a deep blow on us. Your soul shall find a living resting place in the bossom of Lord. When appears, we will meet again to part no more."

"I was truly blessed to have stood beside you during my pastor’s Thanksgiving. Little did I know that it would be the first and last time I would ever have the opportunity to see you. Your life was beautiful, and your presence touched many lives while you were here on earth. Though you have left us, I take comfort in knowing that you have gone to an even more beautiful place. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered. Rest peacefully, Pastor T. Live on in our hearts."
