What We Know About Pastor Chris and His Family
From humble ministry roots to global religious influence, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome's life and legacy are deeply connected to his family background, shaping both his personal journey and the evolution of his global ministry. As the founder of LoveWorld Incorporated, Pastor Chris has inspired millions across continents. While much of the spotlight rests on his teachings and events, many are also curious about the people closest to him, his family. Understanding his family background offers a more complete picture of the man behind the global ministry. Born on December 7, 1963, in Edo State, Nigeria, Chris Oyakhilome grew up in a Christian household that placed deep value on faith and devotion. His father, Elder T.E. Oyakhilome, was a respected member of their local church and provided a strong spiritual foundation for his children. This early influence shaped Chris Oyakhilome's passion for the gospel from a young age. Pastor Chris studied architecture at Bendel State University (now Ambrose Alli University), but his path shifted when he began holding small prayer meetings on campus. These meetings would evolve into a widespread movement now known as Christ Embassy. The support of his immediate family during these early years was significant. While not all members of the family are in the public eye, it's known that Pastor Chris remains closely connected with his relatives, even as his ministry expanded internationally. Chris Oyakhilome comes from a large family, though only a few members are well-known to the public. His younger brother, Reverend Ken Oyakhilome, is also a prominent figure in Christ Embassy. Rev. Ken oversees several branches of the ministry and contributes through teaching and spiritual leadership. Their shared mission reflects the family's broader commitment to spreading the gospel. There is also mention of other extended family members who have supported LoveWorld's mission in various ways, either through administrative roles or behind-the-scenes involvement. Pastor Chris's nephew Daysman Oyakhilome is a creative entrepreneur and youth leader within the LoveWorld community . Known for his dynamic media work, he has produced impactful Christian content through Carel Films, including animations and music videos. He has received several awards for his contributions to gospel media and youth empowerment initiatives. As the son of Pastor Chris's younger brother, Reverend Ken Oyakhilome, Daysman represents a younger generation carrying forward the vision of faith and innovation. Chris Oyakhilome was married to Anita Oyakhilome for over two decades. Together, they played a significant role in the growth of Christ Embassy , especially in its international branches. The couple eventually divorced, a development that drew public attention. Despite this change in his personal life, Pastor Chris has continued his ministerial work with vigour and clarity of purpose. From this union, they had two daughters. The eldest daughter, Sharon Oyakhilome, is perhaps the most visible of his children. Sharon is a gospel singer and songwriter who also ministers in her own right. She married Phillip Frimpong in a high-profile wedding that took place in Nigeria in 2018. The wedding was widely covered in the media and attended by figures from both the spiritual and entertainment sectors. Sharon often shares her faith through music, and her online platforms reflect her commitment to Christ. While she has charted her course, her values align with those instilled by her father. The younger daughter, Charlene, has remained largely out of the public spotlight. Not much is publicly known about her, which reflects the family's approach to privacy regarding certain aspects of their lives. The divorce between Chris Oyakhilome and Anita was finalised in 2016. For many spiritual leaders, personal challenges can become stumbling blocks. However, Pastor Chris has continued to minister with renewed focus, emphasising that one's faith and calling are not defined by personal setbacks. His teachings have often reflected this message, that God's calling is constant, even in the face of life's changes. Rather than dwell on the separation, Pastor Chris has kept his teachings centred on faith, healing, and spiritual growth. He often speaks about perseverance and trusting God during transitions. For many followers, his life post-divorce has been a testament to resilience in the ministry. While not all members of Pastor Chris' family are actively preaching, their influence on his ministry is undeniable. His brother, Rev. Ken, remains a senior leader in LoveWorld. His daughter Sharon inspires younger generations through music and online ministry. The family has contributed to the enduring identity of Christ Embassy. It's important to note that Christ Embassy has grown beyond the boundaries of a family-run organization. Today, it is supported by thousands of volunteers, ministers, and staff members around the world. To understand why Pastor Chris and his family draw so much attention, one must look at his global impact. Chris Oyakhilome is a Nigerian pastor, teacher, and author. He is the founder of LoveWorld Incorporated, also known as Christ Embassy . With millions of followers worldwide, his ministry reaches people through events, books, satellite television, and online platforms. He is perhaps best known for the Healing Streams Live Healing Services , an international broadcast focused on divine healing and miracles. He is also the author of Rhapsody of Realities , a daily devotional translated into thousands of languages. His reach spans continents, making him one of the most influential religious figures from Africa. Though Pastor Chris rarely speaks in detail about his family life, it's clear that those close to him have played important roles in his journey. His upbringing laid a spiritual foundation. His children have continued to carry that legacy forward in their ways. His post-divorce years have shown a man determined to continue his calling, regardless of personal challenges. The story of Rev. Chris Oyakhilome and his family is not one of perfection, but of purpose. As he often teaches, identity in Christ supersedes circumstances. Whether through his teachings, his daughter's music, or the shared work of his brother in the ministry, the Oyakhilome family continues to impact lives. It shows a journey shaped by faith, tested by life, and ultimately defined by a commitment to the gospel.

While most owners may not care about this, the Switch 2 should be strong enough to run most modern third-party games. However, based on recent statements made by the people working on Switch 2's exclusive Donkey Kong Bananza, it seems that even Nintendo is impacted by the Switch 2's specs, Polygon reported. During an interview with Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, Bananza director Kazuya Takahashi acknowledged the technical hiccups — but cautioned that one had to consider 'various factors' at play.

Pete Goffe-Wood on food, comedy, and not burning your sausage at Redfest
If you think kitchens are stressful, try making a theatre full of people laugh. Pete Goffe-Wood and Chris Forrest did exactly that at the Redfest festival in Morningside. For celebrity chef Goffe-Wood, the leap from knives to punchlines has been as satisfying as a perfectly cooked meal, and just as nerve-wracking. Read more: RedFest 2025 lights up Sandton Known for his sharp tongue and culinary prowess, Goffe-Wood says comedy was always brewing in the background. 'I was always the funny guy in my group of friends.' He added that he is a lifelong fan of The Goons and Monty Python, and he even dipped his toe into stand-up back when he was an apprentice chef. Goffe-Wood pointed out that his partnership with stand-up veteran Forrest sparked during filming for Celebrity MasterChef. Their dry humour clicked instantly, and a throwaway idea for a cooking-comedy show soon became Don't Burn Your Sausage. 'Chris booked us a slot at the National Arts Festival before we even wrote it,' Goffe-Wood continued. 'So, we had no choice but to get it done.' He said the show has evolved into a deliciously naughty blend of food, sex, and improv. 'A large part of it depends on the audience's vibe. Chris is brilliant at improvisation. I just react to his chaos.' When asked about the thrill, Goffe-Wood admits it's a rush like no other. 'In the kitchen, you wait till the meal's done to know if people liked it. On stage, the laughter is immediate.' After a decade on the road with Don't Burn Your Sausage, Goffe-Wood says the show is still sizzling, and they are already cooking up a new one. 'We do a lot of corporate gigs, so our story keeps evolving. And yes, humour is what gets you through those pressure-cooker moments in any kitchen.'
