Ozie Owen, Men's Re-entry Discipleship Program Director
Ozie Owen is originally from Chicago, Illinois but now resides in Katy, Texas. He and his wife, Lisa, have been married for 19 years and together have five children. He worked in the oil industry for over 38 years and recently retired as an Operations Director in the Oil Industry. It was then that he realized he was ready to dedicate his life to ministry on a full-time basis.
In addition to a Bachelor of Science, Master’s and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Owen recently received a Master’s Ministry Leadership from Bellhaven University. His career in ministry began in 1993 as an elder. He went on to host a weekly cable-television program that aired for 5 years in the Chicago area. He also ministered to incarcerated men and women, youth groups, families, and married couples. Ozie has led racial reconciliation classes for believers in the greater Houston area. A highlight of his ministry career was leading an 8-day healing crusade in Uganda, Africa.
Ozie was raised a Catholic even though his mother was a Baptist. He learned to celebrate Jesus Christ at an early age and was “born again” when he was 16 years old. Shortly after he was touched by the hand of God, he began attending a Pentecostal Church and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and ‘fire’. Ozie’s favorite scripture is John 15:4,5.
In his free time, Ozie enjoys spending time with his children and grandchildren, cycling, reading, and working out. He is looking forward to being a vessel in God’s hand to help the men and women at Crosswalk to see and become whom they were meant to be.
