Pastor: Revd Dr Henry C. Ohakah
Henry’s
ministerial journey began in south-eastern Nigeria, where he served
as a local pastor. He was l ater appointed to Port Harcourt, where he
oversaw a group of churches as Superintendent and pastored a
congregation of around 500 members. He also served as Diocesan
Minister of Evangelism and Discipleship, planting churches and
launching a ‘Portable Bible School’ to train pastors.
In
2016, he relocated to the United Kingdom to serve as a Methodist
presbyter in Sheffield. Upon completing that appointment, he briefly
served as a flexible hospital chaplain and later led an independent
fellowship near Reading until
he accepted the call to be the pastor of our fellowship here in
Mountsorrel, where he continues to serve with vision,
wisdom, and compassion.
Henry is a Cultural Architect,
Leadership & Change Consultant, and Conference
Speaker. Originally trained in accounting and finance, Henry
left the profession to pursue full time ministry. He holds a PhD
in Intercultural Studies and serves as President of Spirit Wind
World Impact - an organisation committed to global mission,
intercultural engagement, and the spiritual empowerment of
communities across cultures and contexts. He is the author of several
insightful and spiritually enriching books, including the much-loved
Deeply Rooted Daily Bible Devotional, which has inspired many
through its blend of biblical depth and everyday relevance.
Known
for his warm, relational leadership and clear biblical insight, Dr
Ohakah remains deeply committed to mentoring emerging leaders,
fostering intercultural unity, and equipping the Church to live out
faith with integrity and compassion.
