Hope TV Kenya broke the news on Facebook, describing the loss as a shock to all who knew her.
The church released a heartfelt statement acknowledging the pain felt across its membership while anchoring its words in faith.
"As our hearts grieve and many questions fill our minds while we process this [Expletive] loss, we hold firmly to the unchanging truth that God is good, and His mercies endure forever," the statement read.
Those who worked alongside Rev. Oyola described her as someone who lived out her calling with rare consistency.
Church leadership noted that her ministry was shaped by courage, obedience to Scripture, and a closeness to the Holy Spirit that influenced every person she encountered. She was known for preaching the Gospel without compromise and giving of herself sacrificially to those around her.
"Pastor Pam's life was a powerful testimony of unwavering faith, selfless and sacrificial service, and a deep love for God and for people," the church's tribute stated.
Drawing from Philippians 1:21 and 1:23, the Deliverance Church Umoja leadership framed her passing not as an ending but as a transition into eternal life with Christ, describing her death as a movement into glory.
