In Loving Memory of
24th March 1982 – 6th July 2026
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." — 2 Timothy 4:7
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.

"It’s is so painful to have to say Goodbye to my Pastor, I remember all the training and love you showed to me sir on campus, you would always say to me "I Believe In Your Future". I held unto that word till I left campus ministry, you were the first pastor to buy me a phone when my phone was bad, you loved me like your daughter and I am forever grateful for all that you did for me. I miss you forever sir. Heaven Rejoices"
"Heavens gain indeed. Everyday I see your pictures sir, tells me you still live on and I carry it that way, can’t believe just concluded ICLC will be the last time I will see and talk with you Pst Sir.

"Dearest pastor Theo, I still find it had to believe, but then again I remember you for all you were. I remember my first Sunday service with you, it was so beautiful, and from then I always looked forward to every service, I remember how you taught us to always respond, I remember your favorite Worship song, at almost every service we always sang "with my voice lifted up", I remember how you loved thanksgiving. Instead of crying I give God thanks for the beautiful life you led, the lives you imparted and changed, thank you for putting little pieces of you in all of us. I love you forever pastor sir."
"My Pastor, My Father, My mentor, My Friend Thank you for loving me so genuinely, thank you for calling me your D, there was something so special about hearing you call me that, it made me feel loved, seen, and safe, you were always intentional about my growth, my wellbeing, and the person I was becoming, you cared about the little things, you asked questions, you gave advice, you corrected me when necessary, you encouraged me when I doubted myself, you celebrated me, and you never stopped reminding me that I could do more, I remember being afraid of something one day and when I called you, your first question was, “Have you read your Rhapsody today?” That was you, even in moments when I was afraid or worried, you always knew how to point me back to God and remind me where my confidence should be, with you, I could talk about everything, there was never a conversation that felt too small or too big, you were someone I could always talk to, and now I find myself wishing I could have just one more conversation with you, I still cannot fully process that you are gone, a part of me keeps expecting to hear your voice, see your smile, or hear you call me, “D”, it still feels unreal, I keep thinking about the last time we spoke, I never knew that conversation would be our last, I never knew that the moment I walked away from you that day would become a memory I would hold onto so tightly Papa, I wish I had stayed longer with you that day, there are still so many things I want to tell you Sir. You were one of those rare people whose presence made a difference simply by being there. Thank you for believing in me, thank you for trusting me, thank you for correcting me, thank you for encouraging me, thank you for always pointing me to God, thank you for every conversation, every prayer, every word of wisdom, every reminder, every smile, and every time you called me your D, I may not have understood the full weight of your words while you were here, but I understand them now, and I will carry them with me. Whenever I feel like I cannot do something, I will remember your voice saying, “You can do it, D, I believe in you” and I will. Your D will keep growing, your D will keep becoming everything you saw in her, and your D will keep making you proud, I miss you more than words can say I love you, Sir Always and forever ❤️❤️"
