Talk of Prophet Owuor and what immediately comes to people’s minds is his Kings Outreach Ministry through which he has been able to amass a great number of followers.
Prophet Owuor’s crusades have often been likened to political rallies due to the mammoth crowds that grace them.
Away from the Lord’s ministry, Prophet Owuor is a man who is learned and well educated. The man of God has got great academic credentials having studied in some of the best universities and colleges in the world.
He not only attended the best univerities, he also achieved good grades that put him on the worldwide map.
The scientist turned prophet started his formative education at Wambasa Primary School in Siaya before he joined St Peter’s in Tororo Uganda.
He enrolled in Makerere University but the unrest in Uganda forced him to transfer to the University of Nairobi in 1988 where he was to graduate with a bachelor of Science degree.
Owuor said it’s at this point that he received Christ. Hunger for more knowledge prompted the prophet to enrol for masters in Genetics at the same university after completing his undergraduate studies.
He was awarded two scholarships to Germany and Israel thanks to his high grades, he opted for the later. At BenGurion University, Owuor changed his programme to biochemical genetics from plant genetics.
He joined Haifa University in 1994 for a doctorate in biochemical genetics specializing in DNA sequencing. Owuor was to later join the University of Chicago Centre of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology in the US to study transduction.
He lectured at the University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey. He also did research on tumour genesis and how it grows at the Cancer institute.
He quit his job in 2003 to concentrate on preaching. He told Nairobian of how he would have visions daily of the Lord calling him to join the ministry from 2001.
“The Lord, in a dream, called me three times but I did not understand. I had a number of visions but dismissed them as dreams,” ….”I kept running away and ignoring but you cannot run away from God..”
