However, Pere Egbi made it clear that although he hasn’t been called to be a pastor, he still wants to serve God. He disclosed his upbringing, saying that his mother had raised him in a strong Christian family, which contributed to his yearning for God.

Below were his words:

“First of all, I have not been called to be a pastor. There are five other ministerial offices according to Ephesians 4:11. The pastoral office is one of them. So, it’s more of a desire to serve God. I was raised in a solid Christian home by my mother who means so much to me. This is a call I have had from my younger days while in secondary school at Command Day Ikeja, Lagos. God calls and we are required to answer, but I’ve been running. The burden and the weight to answer is becoming heavier as the years go by and I have to answer. Hence, I know for a fact that it’s the last thing I’d be doing on earth before I leave.”

He also discussed his activities in his church and some of the principles that serve as his guide. He said:

“Christ Embassy is my church and I have been a member from my late teens. I believe I was 19 when I started attending services at the Oregun branch of the church in Lagos. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome inspired me and still does. I functioned in the choir as a worship leader before I got caught up deep in entertainment. Values like faith, perseverance, persistence and hope guide me in life”.

Speaking about his motivation for getting into acting and his plans to maintain his reputation in the field, Pere Egbi said:

“I have always loved acting and I still do. I don’t think I would leave acting alone. I have always been an actor way before BBN.”
