Pastor Inalegwu Omakwu

Pastor Inalegwu Omakwu had humble beginnings in Kaduna where he grew up. He could have turned out like any other teenager but the stirrings of greatness began when he got born again. His love for God, love for people, audacious faith and charisma stood him out as a natural leader among the growing community of young believers in Kaduna.

After a first degree in Microbiology from Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria he knew he was called by God to full time ministry. With meagre resources but huge faith in God he headed out in 1984 to Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, Oklahoma for a Master’s degree in Divinity. In America he married his heart throb Sarah and they raised a small family while schooling. After a second master’s degree in Communication from Regent University in Virginia, he knew it was time to return to Nigeria to start the ministry God had placed in his heart.

Divine guidance led Pastor Ina and Pastor Sarah to Abuja where on the 11th April 1993, they started Family Worship Centre at the Sheraton hotel with a congregation of 147 adults and 64 children.

His heart was to worship God, teach the word in simplicity and love God’s people unconditionally. With his wife he exemplified humility, practical love, care, excellence and a lifestyle of Christianity that was impactful and fun filled. As the church grew many who attended church encountered God, found purpose in life, served God joyfully and became established in church and the market place. He made sure the church took on the support of missionaries, widows and orphans across Northern Nigeria. In 1997 with the Christian Broadcasting Network, he spearheaded WORLD REACH NIGERIA which took the gospel to millions of people in northern Nigeria via radio, TV and film.

The ultra-modern church campus in Wuye, Abuja and the school, Royal Family Academy are some of his legacies. But his greatest legacy are the people he mentored and nurtured to carry the vision of loving Christ above all.
Pastor Ina Omakwu went to glory on the 25th of February 2003
