Minister Odama Emmanuel Egbe is a dynamic minister of the Gospel and passionate youth mentor, born into the noble family of the late Igwe Christopher Odama of Ujol Utonkon, Ado Local Government Area of Benue State, Nigeria. His formative academic journey began at Jesus College, Otukpo, and culminated in his Secondary School Certificate from Al-Ujah Community Secondary School, Ogege Edumoga.
Driven by a passion for knowledge and purpose, he enrolled at Apa College of Education, Aidogodo, where he earned his National Certificate in Education (NCE) and had a life-transforming encounter with Jesus Christ through the ministry of Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre.
Building on this spiritual awakening and academic foundation, Minister Emmanuel proceeded to the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi (now Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University) where he obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Microbiology with Second Class Upper Division. His academic excellence was complemented by kingdom-focused leadership on campus, where he served diligently as Assistant Evangelism Secretary and later President of Winners Campus Fellowship until graduation, exemplifying spiritual dedication and vision-driven leadership.
During his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) year, he served with distinction at the Federal College of Education (Technical), Gombe, contributing to academic excellence and capacity building among future educators. In the same period, he served as the Nigeria Christian Corpers’ Fellowship (NCCF) Camp Coordinator for 2023 Batch C Stream 1 in Amada Camp, Gombe State, demonstrating godly leadership and spiritual mentorship to fellow corps members. His commitment to professional growth is further evident in his acquisition of certifications in Human Resource Management and Procurement Management Standards, with a focus on environmental and sustainable procurement, equipping him for impactful service both in ministry and the corporate world.
Minister Odama’s leadership qualities extend beyond the church into secular institutions. As a student, he was elected Secretary-General of the Student Union during his NCE program—a role that laid the groundwork for his later achievements as a Human Resource Consultant. His career has spanned education, administration, and strategic organizational development, with a unique focus on mentoring and people empowerment.
His unwavering dedication to kingdom service has seen him actively serve in various church units, particularly in Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel) in both Makurdi and Lagos. These roles have refined his pastoral calling and deepened his passion for youth discipleship and revival across Nigeria. He is also a proud alumnus of Bishop David Oyedepo’s Word of Faith Bible Institute (WOFBI), where he completed the Basic Certificate Course (BCC) and Leadership Certificate Course (LCC), as well as a graduate of the Maturity Training Course (MTC) from Dunamis School of Ministry, all of which have deeply enriched his spiritual depth and leadership effectiveness.
He is the Founder and President of the Purposeful Youth & Stars Christian Centre, a ministry fully registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission. Minister Emmanuel serves as the visionary leader of this divine mandate, which was birthed during his university years through a clear encounter with God. In this role, he passionately drives the mission of raising a generation—especially the youth—to discover their God-ordained purpose, reclaim it where it has been lost, and thrive in it without compromise. His message centers on awakening destinies, stirring spiritual boldness, and inspiring purposeful living for Christ.
