Life & Ministry

A Legacy of Service, Impact, Faith, and Love

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.

Tributes & Words of Honor

"A TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED PASTOR THEO (PEETEE) Tribute to a True Man of God It is with a heart full of gratitude and deep emotion that I pay tribute to my beloved Pastor Theo, a true man of God whose life was a blessing to many. Pastor Theo was not just a pastor; he was a devoted servant of God, a man who genuinely loved the Lord and dedicated his life to bringing people to Christ. Through his preaching, prayers, counselling, encouragement and personal example, many lives were touched, transformed and drawn closer to God. His passion for the things of God and his commitment to the salvation of souls were truly remarkable. Personally, my encounter with Pastor Theo remains one of the most memorable experiences of my life. He had a unique way of making people feel valued and loved. I will always cherish the special relationship and moments I shared with him. One particular thing I will never forget is the way he fondly called me “The General.” That name carried a special meaning for me because it reflected the warmth, confidence and affection with which he related to me. Whenever he called me “The General,” it brought a smile to my face and reminded me of the special bond we shared. It is a memory I will treasure for the rest of my life. So many things to say about soul winning and giving but I will let them slide till we meet again. Pastor Theo's legacy goes beyond the pulpit. His greatest testimony is found in the lives he influenced and the souls he helped lead to Christ. He demonstrated that true ministry is not only about preaching but also about living a life that reflects Christ through love, humility, faith, service and compassion. Though his physical presence is no longer with us, his words, teachings, kindness and memories will continue to live in the hearts of those who knew him. His impact on my life and the lives of many others can never be erased. Pastor Theo, thank you for being a true man of God. Thank you for the love, the guidance, the prayers and the memories. Thank you for calling me “The General” and for making that name a special part of our relationship. You fought a good fight, you touched many lives and you brought many to Christ. Your legacy will continue to speak. Rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord, Pastor Theo. Your “General” will never forget you. Till we meet again, may your soul rest in perfect peace. Amen. MAJ SO OMIJIE"

"BLW ASIA(West Africa Region) Tribute to our Most Dearly Beloved Pastor Theo Owase, Pastor sir, we can still hear your voice saying, "Keep your eyes in front, focus on the vision, don't look around." Oh dear sir, you exemplified the phrase "a purpose driven life." You got us all to see only through the lenses of the word of God and believe that anything is possible as long as we align with the will and purpose of God for our lives. There wouldn't be a BLW ASIA as we have it now, without you. You believed it was set time for Asia to be delivered as a foremost garrison to the man of God, and you invested time and training to make it happen. Look at us now, in 7 months we have established our work in 30 nations so far and have grown to over 5,000 members across 40 chapters which has led to the birth of 4 Groups because of your leadership. We have reached over 300,000 souls in this year of Manifestation and we even produced the Number 1 Campus Fellowship globally in the whole of the Loveworld Kingdom Nation in barely 6 months of our Manifestation and we are spurred on with your words of prophecy and blessings you extend to us from our Man of God Pastor Chris. As a result of your visionary leadership, we have had strategic and radical efforts in partnership, where we are recognized across the various partnership arms in the Top 10 zones category. We have organized Crusades this year with thousands in attendance in those same nations where the Gospel has been prohibited and restricted before now. Pastor sir, you gave us the chance and opportunity to be established as a working functional garrison in the campus ministry structure, not just as a "site for mission trips". We now have that identity that our man of God Pastor Chris has always desired, and the answer to his questions. He wouldn't need to ask anymore, "What is Happening in Indonesia" or "in certain parts of Asia" because we have arisen and our lights are shinning now. Record setting feats are constantly being made, 202 foundation school students graduated from BLW Afghanistan and we had a Rhapsody endtime crusade in Iran with over 10,000 in attendance, because you wouldn't let us observe lying vanities even though these two nations have had an unpopular notoriety in Western Asia where they are situated. Pastor sir, with you we saw no reason why anything the man of God said, couldn't be done. Now, we have organized and impacted tens of thousands in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Afghanistan and Indonesia and we continue to do same and much more until all 48 nations in Asia and beyond are saturated. You inspired us with the expansionism of the ministry as a key driving force and we even have successful work in Oceania and northern Europe because you made sure that in these final moments of the extra time we go all out for the King. Thank you Pastor Theophilus sir for teaching and showing us Love, Courage, Fearlessness, the power of Prayer, and a fierce devotion to our Man of God Pastor Chris. Your time on earth may have come to an end but your impact lives on. We look forward to seeing you at the Rapture. We love you sir."

"Pastor, you taught me that leadership wasn’t about a title; it was about boldness, faith, love, resilience, excellence, and grace. You were the very foundation of my leadership journey. “Open a cell. Call everyone. Make sure they come for the meeting.” Those simple instructions shaped me into the leader I am today. You believed in me long before I believed in myself. Rhapsody. Healing School. ICM. So many memories, so many lessons. Thank you for every prayer, every rebuke, every correction, every word of encouragement, every sacrifice, and every opportunity to grow. Thank you for pouring yourself into us so selflessly. We are who we are today because you answered God’s call so faithfully. Thank you, Dada. Your labour was not in vain. Rest well, my most excellent Pastor Tee. 🤍🕊️"

"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"

Pastor Joy Irase Church Member

"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. It hurts so bad, it breaks my heart knowing you are no longer with us but glad you are in Heaven. Thank you Pst Tee sir for giving my life a meaning, thank you sir for loving me the way you do, thank you sir for training in leadership. My days on campus was blessed and inspiring because of your teachings. I love you forever dada and yes am gonna keep winning souls for Christ just as you love it. I deeply miss you dada"
