Our Senior Pastor
Pastor Dr. David Babatunde Osho was born in Ekiti State, Nigeria in 1955, to the family of Justus & Rachel Osho. He is the fifth child of what has become a household of fourteen children.
On the 15th of May 1980, he became born again, by accepting Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. He received his calling into ministry that same year. His first evangelistic mission assignment was to the city of llorin. He was part of a mighty revival organized by Apostle Timothy Obadare at Asadam road, llorin in 1985.
In 1986, he was sent to lle-lfe revival centre and between 1987 and 1988, he was sent to cover Kabba revival centre. As a roving evangelist, he conducted house to house evangelism at Aisegba Ekiti, in Ekiti State, from where he was transferred to Okeigbo, Ondo State in 1989.
He was ordained in 1989 at Christ Apostolic Church, Lagos, Nigeria. His passion for missions led him to Monrovia (Liberia) despite the war. He accepted a pastoral assignment to shepherd Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) at Carey street, behind the Federal Post Office. The bloody civil war continued to escalate upon his arrival to Liberia, and he was trapped in the turmoil and conflict.
The Lord divinely intervened and extricated him back to Nigeria. Upon his arrival, it was worth mentioning that he pastored Christ Apostolic Church (with over four thousand members) at lyase Ketu Lagos State from 1991 to 1992.
In January 1993 he was transferred and moved to Houston, Texas, USA. He pastored (Christ Apostolic Church, West Fuque Missouri City, Houston TX) for four years. He served the Lord in World Soul Winning Evangelistic Ministry under the leadership of Apostle Timothy Obadare for 17years. After meritorious service in Christ Apostolic Church West Fugue Missouri City, the Lord God instructed him to start a new work. He obeyed and started International Way of Life Ministry in October 5th, 1997.
The ministry acquired and built their current permanent facility located at 4131 South Kirkwood Road, Houston, Texas, USA which includes a multi-purpose Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall.
Pastor Dr. David B Osho preaches the undiluted Word of God. He is known for his praying life, with accomplishing miracles, when he ministers by the grace of GOD. He strongly believes in miracles through prayers and faith in the Lord. He believes that God is still in the business of healing the sick and doing miracles.
The mandate God gave him was to liberate mankind from the suffering and bondages of Satan through the power in the Word of God. He has been in the ministry for four decades. He received his doctorate degree in Divinity from Juliana King University, Houston Texas USA.
He is happily married to his lovely wife he fondly calls “Honey Me” Pastor Esther Olufunke Osho in December 1987. Their marriage is blessed with four children-Dorcas, Ruth, Joshua and Christy.

The Church At A Glance
International Way of Life Ministry is the gathering of the saints committed to carrying out the great commission to the nations of the world. We are Christ Ambassador for the global reconciliation of the true word of GOD ON WHICH WE STAND. We believe in Jesus Christ death and resurrection and the second coming of our Lord and miracles. That is the mandate God has given us to alleviate the suffering of humanity through the spoken words of God and prayers. We believe the age of miracles has not passed. “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with Power who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil for God was with Him”(Act 10: 38). The power of the Lord God is still available to set the captives free, heal the broken hearted and open the prison doors to those who are bound. Together we can make a difference.
