Esther Obele

I am an ordained minister of the gospel and pastor, focused on discipleship, church planting and administration, in rural communities. God told me years ago that if people would know Him, they will love Him more. My passion is helping people know God, and grow in faith. I help people know God more through Bible based teaching, books and discipleship materials, and church administration and church planting. Through SowFund, I invite partners to support this mission of discipling nations

My ministry journey began in 2003 through a life-changing encounter where I received the name “Treasure Force” and was led to Matthew 13:44, where the Kingdom of God is described as treasure hidden in a field. Since then, my passion has been helping people discover their identity in Christ and understand the depth of Jesus’ sacrifice for them. I am committed to Discipleship church planting and administration, especially in rural communities. I also write Christian books and develop discipleship materials, to help more people grow in faith. Our vision is to see a fully discipled world where the principles of God’s Kingdom brings transformation to individuals, families, and communities. Our mission is to raise mature believers who are deeply rooted in God and equipped to reflect His heart and truth in every sphere of life

As we continue Discipleship projects and planting churches in rural communities, some of our greatest needs include land for ministry centers, trained workers, transportation for outreach, book publications and distribution, discipleship materials, and translation projects in local languages that help make biblical teaching accessible to more people.

I gave my life to Christ in 1989, but I had little access to true discipleship or clear teaching from the Bible. Much of what I heard about God was confusing, yet deep inside me was a strong hunger to truly know Him and understand His Word. In 1991, while still a child, I began preaching the gospel by sharing the little I understood from Scripture. I would read the Bible, understand a verse, and immediately share it with others. Soon, classmates began gathering around me just to hear the Word of God. That was when I discovered God had called me to teach and preach. As I continued seeking God, my encounter with the Holy Spirit transformed my understanding of the Bible. The more I prayed and studied the Word, the more Scripture became alive and clear to me. What began as a personal search for understanding grew into a lifelong mission to help others encounter God, understand the Bible clearly, grow in faith, and become true disciples of Christ. Today, that mission continues through church planting, discipleship, writing Christian books, and developing teaching materials to help believers grow strong in God’s Word.
