As an award-winning author of several Christian books and a highly sought-after inspirational speaker, Damola Treasure Okenla is dedicated to uplifting others mentally, spiritually and emotionally. A certified life coach and transformational prayer strategist, she has mastered helping her clients grow and develop spiritually into the men and women they are called to be in the earth.

As the president and founder of Life Encounters, Inc., a non-profit organization that is dedicated to self-discovery and recovery, Damola facilitates seminars, workshops and retreats to usher others into purpose fulfillment. Her organization, like her books, is a small reflection of her passion and mission for the advocacy of spiritual freedom and empowerment.

As an ordained minister, she served as an associate pastor, teacher, counselor, women ministry coordinator, and intercessor for 25 years at the Redeemed Christian Church of God. Through her work, her innate ability to transform lives through ministry and God’s message of hope speaks loud and clear, long before she says a word. In her last ministerial assignment, which was at Jesus House Chicago, Damola served as the lead intercessor and coordinated prayer ministry events under the leadership of the senior pastor.

Holding Master’s degrees in both Theology and Christian Counseling, she specializes in marriage and pre-marital counseling, stress management, traumatic care, life after divorce and women’s issues. Having overcome traumatic relationship experiences herself, she has an empathic heart for singles and women who are seeking hope amid trying to get out. Her program, Divine Connections by the Well, was born out of her personal experience and her determination to make sure no other girl or woman will go through such trauma. For more than ten years, she has partnered with individuals and groups to inspire and motivate others to live the life God intended for them to live—assisting them in rebuilding and recovering from losses and setbacks in life.

In addition, Damola serves as the president and founder of Hilltop Publishing, where she assists Christian authors with publishing and social media management for their book projects—positioning them for excellence in the marketplace. Apart from ministry, Damola works as an accountant, and project manager, and holds a Master’s in Public Administration. She is also a faithful member of the American Association of Christian Counselors, as well as The Institute of Internal Auditors and The Project Management Institute PMI®️. More than anything, Damola is on a mission to help others discover their true potential, live a life of purpose, and earn a profit while doing it.
