Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Moves To South Africa; His Wife, Anita Lives In London, UK

Not many people know that the man of God, who
serves as the Senior Pastor of Believers
LoveWorld Incorporated aka Christ Embassy,
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has relocated to
Johannesburg in South Africa reports First Weekly
Magazine.
Sources close to the stylish and urbane pastor
revealed that he relocated to South Africa few
years back ‘to further spread the gospel of Christ
and win more souls for the Kingdom of God.’
The source added that the man of God disclosed
that his disciples were taken aback by his
decision to leave his base in Nigeria, where he
became popular as a preacher of the gospel that
appeals mostly to youths.
His church members were said to have asked
questions when the man took the decision
initially, but we learnt that they all agreed that it
was time for him to move on as he has reportedly
raised pastors who could hold forte for him in
Nigeria and that he wanted to do the same in
Nigeria.
The Nigerian chapter of Christ Embassy Church is
being co-ordinated by the church’s numerous
zonal pastors, hile Pastor Oyakhilome still gives
final approval to decisions and visits the country
regularly to preach at church programmes.
“Pastor Oyakhilome is still in touch with what we
do in Nigeria, he comes around regularly, but he
currently stays in South Africa, where the church
is expanding by the day. There is no cause for
alarm, the pastors here are doing well too and I
can tell you that the church is growing by the day
and we are winning souls for Christ,” said a
source.
It was also gathered that the wife of Pastor Chris,
who is also the Director of Christ Embassy
International Office, Pastor (Mrs) Anita
Oyakhilome, also pastors Christ Embassy
Churches in the United Kingdom, where she
currently resides.
She is also in-charge of her own chapter, Christ
Embassy Docklands on North Woolwich, London
and she is the co-Director of LoveWorld Christian
Network.
This was said to have been an agreement
reached by the couple, and we told that the
decision does not affect their relationship contrary
to some media reports sometime ago that they
were about to divorce.
First Weekly gathered further that Pastor Chris
frequents the United Kingdom and that Pastor
Anita also travels to South Africa to see her
husband regularly.
“You know they are both servants of God and it
would be counter-productive for them to stay in
one country as this would not help the spread of
the gospel. That was why they agreed to stay in
different countries so that they could get across
to as many people as possible in their different
locations and the feedback has been great,” a
source added.
