Biography

A pastor by calling, a teacher by conviction.

Matthew (Tolu) Olowoyeye is a pastor by calling, an author and teacher by conviction, a mentor by purpose, and the Chief Executive Officer of Laud Travels by profession. He serves as the Lead Pastor of Jesus Brand Fellowship, where he is committed to raising believers who are rooted in God’s Word, secure in their identity in Christ, and equipped to influence their generation for the Kingdom of God.

A gifted communicator with a passion for discipleship and transformational leadership, Matthew combines biblical depth with practical wisdom in his preaching, teaching and writing. Through his books, mentoring initiatives and public ministry, he inspires individuals to discover purpose, develop godly character, and pursue excellence in every area of life.

He holds a degree in Communication and Advertising and is a member of several professional bodies, including the Institute of Strategic Management, Nigeria. Beyond the pulpit, Matthew leads Laud Travels, a professionally licensed travel company renowned for its integrity, innovation and commitment to exceptional service.

Driven by a desire to see lives transformed and potential fulfilled, Matthew’s mission is to inspire faith, develop leaders, and demonstrate that divine calling and professional excellence are not mutually exclusive but can work together to shape destinies and impact generations.

The conviction

Technology serves the mission. It never leads it.

AI must never replace Scripture, prayer, pastoral responsibility, spiritual discernment, human compassion, or the work of the Holy Spirit. Its only job is to remove friction — so leaders can give more of themselves to people, prayer, preaching and mission.

The Accelerator was written for leaders who carry real responsibility: preaching, teaching, counselling, planning, communicating and shepherding people. Every workflow in the programme is designed to give time back to that work.

Ministry Accelerator is the education brand; The Berean AI Ministry Accelerator is its flagship programme, with certification issued by The Berean Bible Academy and published by Berean Publishing House.

“Now the Berean Jews… examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” — Acts 17:11
