  "I Quit My PhDs—Now I Serve God" – How Learned Is Prophet Dr. David Owuor?


---


 From Scientist to Prophet: A Remarkable Journey


Prophet Dr. David Owuor is not your typical televangelist. Born in 1966 in rural Siaya County, he started his academic journey in local primary and secondary schools, and later attended Makerere University in Uganda. Civil unrest there led him to transfer to the University of Nairobi, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1988 and experienced a life-changing spiritual calling.

 🧪 The Academic Powerhouse


He didn’t stop with a first degree:


* He pursued a Master’s in Genetics at Ben-Gurion University in Israel, working his way into biochemical genetics.

* Later, he completed a PhD in Molecular Genetics at the University of Haifa, specializing in DNA sequencing.

* After his doctorate, he accepted a prestigious postdoctoral fellowship in the United States at the University of Illinois (Chicago), followed by advanced research and lecturing roles at the University of New Jersey’s Cancer Institute. His work focused on tumor growth, gene-switching, and drug design.


With multiple degrees and international research publications to his name, he was a rising star in scientific academia.

 🔄 The Bold Shift: Quitting His PhDs


Despite lucrative scientific opportunities, he made a bold decision:


By 2003, he left his academic and research career to pursue full-time ministry work. Though trained in lab coats and journals, he felt a deeper calling:


> “I received visions and dreams that I could no longer ignore. I had to step away from academia to serve the calling.”


That moment was his turning point: the scientist gave way to the preacher, choosing spiritual purpose over professional prestige.

👑 Prophetic Ministry with a Scholar’s Mind


He founded the Repentance and Holiness Ministry, emphasizing strict biblical teaching, urgent calls for repentance, and the imminent return of Christ. His crusades now attract millions of attendees in Kenya and abroad. Sermons are broadcast widely, and followers report dramatic testimonies of healing and prophecy.


His sermons reflect a blend of academic precision and spiritual fervor.

💡 What Makes Him Unique


Highly educated: Few religious leaders in Africa hold a PhD in genetics and experience in American cancer research.

Intellectual credibility: His background makes him stand out among charismatic preachers.

Purpose-driven: He chose to abandon academia not out of failure but out of conviction.


Critics question some of his teachings and style—particularly his dramatic claims and predictions—but many followers cite his scientific rigor as proof of his seriousness.

### 🧭 Final Thoughts


Prophet Dr. David Owuor’s story is a rare fusion of science and spirituality. He learned the secrets of DNA and cancer biology—but left them behind to pursue divine calling.


He didn’t just quit a PhD—he walked away from a career in medical research to preach about repentance, holiness, and prophecy. Whether you view him with admiration or skepticism, his academic credentials cannot be denied.


In a world where spiritual leadership is often divorced from scholarship, Owuor represents a curious and compelling bridge between two worlds.


He proves that learning and faith are not mutually exclusive—and that sometimes, the

 toughest decision is to quit the certificates for the call.

“Ezekiel Mutua Mulls Action After Bahati’s ‘Seti’ Sparks Outrage — Where Does Kenya Draw the Line?” Bahati’s return to the music scene with his latest release *“Seti”* has stirred heated debate across Kenya. The video, which features provocative choreography, bold fashion choices, and risqué scenes, has divided fans — with some celebrating his artistic freedom while others accusing him of abandoning his earlier wholesome image.

That statement alone fueled further speculation and controversy. Amid this storm, all eyes have turned to Ezekiel Mutua, the man often dubbed Kenya’s “morality police.” Known for his firm stance on what he considers indecent or immoral entertainment, Mutua has previously called out songs and videos that he believes threaten public values. His past interventions have ranged from public c...
