All Tributes & Words of Honor
In loving memory of Pastor Theophilus Owase
"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!!!"
"this sooooo painful but in all things we give thanks. Thank you for exceptional life of service. good night esteemed Pastor"
"Today, I write with a heart filled with deep sorrow, yet I am grateful to God for the privilege of knowing and sharing life with you while in Kogi state university Zone A.. It was through you I became a pastor and was anointed sir . You were not just a pastor to me but a mentor, a source of encouragement, and a true blessing to my life pastor sir . Your words, your kindness, your faith, and your passion for the things of God touched so many lives, including mine. It is difficult to believe that you have gone to be with the Lord. Your departure has left a void that words cannot fully describe. There are memories of your laughter, your counsel, your prayers, and the moments we shared that I will forever carry in my heart. You taught us by your words, but even more by your life. You demonstrated what it means to serve God wholeheartedly, love people sincerely, and remain faithful to the calling of God.

Your life here, in this plane of life called EARTH was indeed impactful! Keep RESTING PERFECTLY IN THE BLOSSOM OF LORD , TILL WE ALL MEET AGAIN. Dear ESTEEMED PASTOR THEO!"
"I’m honestly short of words, Pastor Sir. While on Campus at BLW Ogwashi-Uku, you believed so much in me. You would always say, “Sis Sandra, you can do it. God has given you the grace; you have all that you require to make it happen.” Those words gave me strength and confidence. Your teachings, guidance, and love made my work as a pastor on Campus possible. I will never forget our early morning prayers and how, after meetings, you would ask, “Where is Sis Sandra?” 🥹 Those little moments meant so much to me. Thank you, Sir, for believing in me, loving me, and loving BLW Ogwashi-Uku. It was a privilege to serve, work, and grow under your leadership. We will truly miss you, Pastor Sir. Thank you for being a blessing and for leaving such a beautiful impact on our lives. ❤️"

"Tribute to a Consummate man. My first encounter with the highly Esteemed Pastor Theo was in 2018 as we prepared for “A Night to remember redefined with Pastor Chike” in Calabar, I had been sent to go mount a billboard banner on the most prominent billboard at the then CRUTECH Calabar gate and the school management declined, when I came back to give the report Pastor Theo picked up a stone and said “I will break your head now, why will you bring back an evil report, my friend go back and mount that billboard!!” As I ran away strange courage covered me and I walked straight to the VC’s office and got it done, that day I saw stubborn faith in person for the first time, no one shares God's Word with power like Pastor Theo, he was so fond of me and would always counsel me to live and do the word irrespective of circumstances, we weren’t so close but his life of Faith, discipline, authority and Word-based responses to every situation impacted me in no small way. I will always Love and celebrate you Sir, enjoy Heaven Sir, till we meet again in the sky."
"f there's any single thing I learned from the Man of God Pastor Theophilus Owase, it was this... LOVE. Being someone who had seen the wickedness and selfishness of man even in close quarters, God used him to change my life, not with results (results are by-products), but by...LOVE. He taught and SHOWED me to forgive, and to LOVE. will describe your CHIEF lesson to me in only these verses... MATTHEW 5:38-48"
"TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED PST. THEO Pst. T, as we all fondly called you, you were truly a gallant soldier of our great Kingdom. You were passionate and busy with the Master’s business in reaching souls and building the saints! You had a calm and quiet demeanour, yet wild and loud in the Spirit! You were love personified. You were never too busy to care, and never too pressured to warrant you using harsh or demeaning words on anyone. Your impact goes beyond the memories we have of you. Your labour in the Kingdom, your love for souls, your commitment to building the saints, and the lives you touched will continue to speak for you. I love you, as always, Pst. T! Efe Daniel Irelen"
