The President of LoveWorld Incorporated, also known as Christ Embassy, Rev. Dr. Chris Oyakhilome, has officially confirmed the passing of his beloved mother, Deaconess Angel Oyakhilome.
Speaking live during Day 2 of the Global Day of Prayer, September 2026 edition, Pastor Chris announced that his mother, fondly called “Big Mummy”, transited to glory on Friday morning, September 25th, 2026.
The cleric used the global broadcast to celebrate the life and times of his late mother, describing her as a kind, wonderful and one-of-a-kind woman who gave him and his siblings a Christian home.
Pastor Chris gave an emotional tribute, revealing that in the last seven years, he never failed to appreciate his mother whenever he saw her, thanking her for teaching him basic life lessons including how to brush his teeth and how to dress, and for showing him and his siblings the right path to know Jesus Christ.
“You know I’m preaching today to the whole world but it’s because of you and daddy. Thank you for giving me and my siblings a home where we could know Jesus Christ,” Pastor Chris said.
According to Pastor Chris, his mother was so sweet and he resembled her the most among all the children.
He disclosed that the family will announce funeral arrangements in due course, as the incident just happened and the ministry’s Global Day of Prayer program was already scheduled.
He also thanked all those who have sent messages of condolence since the news broke.
Deaconess Angel, aged 88, was the wife of late Elder T.E. Oyakhilome and matriarch of the Oyakhilome family of Idunwele, Ewu, in Esan Central LGA of Edo State.
