becoming
one of the top artistes on the Club Scene

life when he knew

him to the work
of
the Ministry. Owen gave
his heart to the Lord in 1985, after

Owen is
confident about his calling to the Ministry,
and
his
position in the Body of Christ. He says,
“ My calling is to minister restoration
and
reconciliation, and to inform people that
God has a purpose
for
Everyone.
Every individual is precious to God,
and every
Christian must take their
position in the Body of Christ, and
I
aim to encourage individuals to find their
position and walk
the
path that is set before them.”
Owen has
an anointing to write songs that people from
all
walks
of life can relate to, using familiar
rhythms, songs of
Praise,
truth and reality, conveying the issues of
life that we all face. He
directs the listener to Jesus Christ, the
Author and
Finisher of our Faith. Owen is
committed to the message that is promoted in
his music, and conveys an uncompromising message
about
his
Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
