About Me
Hi! My name is Dr. Pastor Shade Masha and I am so glad you have found your way to my site. I look forward to getting to know you as we partner together, but allow me, first, to share a bit about myself.
I am a wife and mother, Pastor, community outreach leader, certified Christian counselor, certified Chaplain, and prophetic dance minister. I was born on October 26th into a wonderful Nigerian family. Growing up, I loved to dance and found myself a member of a Cultural Dance group in my highschool years. After receiving my B.A. in Language Arts (English) from Ahmadu Bello University in 1984, and my M.I.L.D Masters in International Law and Diplomacy from the University of Lagos in 1986, I made my way to the United States.
In 1997 I received a Certificate of Completion from the World Outreach Missionary School and continued to grow in wisdom and passion for the Lord, as well as passion for serving those around me. For years I was actively involved in my church’s worship and dance ministry, and in 2005 I participated in Liturgical Dance. While I loved dance, my heart for outreach ministry and reaching the needs of the least and lost in the community always kept me engaged in the space of discipling, counseling and mentoring others while laboring to help meet their physical needs too.
As I was serving the Lord faithfully in this manner, I met my now husband, Dr. Apostle Segun Masha. Our shared passion for service and our shared love of the Lord built an indelible friendship between us. We eventually married and our covenant and commitment to the Lord has only grown stronger and stronger to this day. We share 5 wonderful and gifted daughters. Together we continued forward in ministry and over the decades served, and continue to serve, as an active community leader in several fields. I am blessed to be a certified member of the National Certified Chaplain Association USA and a certified member of the Christian Bible Couselors Association USA, as well. In 2023 I also received my B.A. in Theology, as well as my Doctorate of Theology from Tripp Bible Institute.
After 3+ decades serving in the United States as a minister, the Lord called my husband and I back to Nigeria, where we live presently. We are graced by God to carry out a powerful, faith-centered ministry known as “Online Church” to reach the global Body of Christ at this time, and we are continuing our efforts of outreach and service in this part of the world through Marketplace Missions. My years of experience, service and equipment have only build my knowledge-base, passion and resolve to see others’ lives transformed so they can positively impact the world around them. I look forward to learning how I can best serve you! Please take your time exploring my site and feel free to reach out.

What Others Are Saying
Read how the Lord has used Dr. Pastor Shade Masha to positively influence those she has served...
“I thank God for the life of my mentor, Dr. Pastor Shade Masha. The lord has used her immensely in my life. Her counseling and prayers have worked positively in my life. She went so far as to financially support me by paying my 400 level tuition fees during a time of need in my life. And thanks in no small part to her guidance and help, I now own a small business of my own. Additionally, the Lord used her as a vessel to help deliver me and heal me from Hepatitis and an epigastric ulcer! Due to her counseling and prayers I can manage my resources better and handle my issues properly. I thank the Lord for Pastor Shade’s life and I pray He continues to increase her anointing in Jesus’ name.”
“Over the past 7 years Dr. Pastor Shade Masha has been an invaluable support in my life. She is deeply prophetic and in tune with the heart of God, and as a result her words carry divine weight and do not fall to the ground. She counseled me through questions and circumstances concerning my marriage, helped me through seasons of intense spiritual warfare, and offered guidance and assurance through life transitions and leaps of faith. Not only is she full of wisdom, she is also truly funny and enjoyable to connect with. I am so grateful for her spiritual covering as a mother in the faith, her wise counsel, and her timely and powerfully prophetic prayers of intercession. She is truly a woman of God with a heart passionate for serving others!”
