SIMI DELEAWE
FOUNDER | MINISTER | ACCOUNTANT
I’m Simi Deleawe, and I am a child of God.
My journey began in Lagos, Nigeria, and continued in Dallas, Texas, where I grew up navigating the beautiful blend of two cultures. At 17, in the midst of high school, I made the life-changing decision to surrender my life to Christ. That moment sparked an intimate walk with God that has shaped every step of my life since.
As a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin, I recognized the need for authentic community and spiritual growth among my friends in a new city. In response, I founded HAVEN Student Fellowship, a ministry devoted to helping students reflect Jesus on campus through genuine conversations and Bible study. What began as a small gathering has since expanded to multiple campuses across Texas and has grown into additional expressions, including HAVEN Men and HAVEN Music.
Whether you’re here to connect, grow, or discover your own purpose, I’m excited to walk alongside you. Let’s build, serve, and advance the kingdom together!

BOOK SIMI DELEAWE
Today, I’m honored to serve as the founder and visionary of HAVEN Missions, the parent organization for all HAVEN expressions. I am also privileged to be a full-time minister of the Gospel and the Young Adult Pastor at The Bridge Church at RCCG House on the Rock, under the leadership of Pastor OJ Kuye.
I find deep fulfillment in counseling young people as they pursue Jesus and in equipping emerging leaders to step boldly into their God-given assignments.
