TRIBUTE TO A TERRIFIC SCHOLAR. Pastor Nkechi Ene, my first encounter with you was at WOFBEC,2025, immediately your first session ended, I had to search for your name and the name of your church on YOUTUBE and subscribed to your channel because you were indeed a teaching Priest. Your journey here on earth may have ended, but your legacy lives on. You have fought a good fight, you have finished your course, you have kept the faith. Rest on the arm of The Almighty God you tirelessly served

Pastor Nkechi Ene – A PHENOMENON! Faith defined, Love exemplified, Humility personified, that’s my Pastor Kech! Dear Pastor, I’m eternally grateful for the rarest opportunity to serve you. I watched you show deep love and affection for the Father and others. I saw you express infectious delight in God and His promises, which transcended worldly circumstances. I saw you display moral and ethical excellence in a whole new dimension never known to me. I saw and experienced your unmatched generosity that stemmed from the Father. Did I mention love? You loved just like Jesus. You were much more than the Pastor my heart yearned for. Much more than the shepherd I trusted God for. Much more than the father I always wanted and knew I needed. Much more than the mother’s love I believed for. Much more than the teacher I always admired as a teen. Much more than the Boss I hoped for. You were Exceedingly Much More! Thank you for being a Pastor, shepherd, Father, Mother, Teacher and Boss after God’s own heart. My love for you is boundless. My gratitude to the Father for the gift of you is limitless. Rest on God’s General Godsent Ibiere Ogbobula

My darling and sweet Pastor, I have struggled with this truth up until now. You impacted my life since the year 1998 when I first met you in Akure on Fresh dew on ITV Benin channel. I looked for you when I relocated to Port Harcourt with my parents and found you in the year 2000 and since then, listening to you in service and in personal visits, transformed me from a young naive girl to a woman who chooses God again and again no matter the challenge. I had began to plan a visit to you with my son since marriage took me to another church, and now I will never have the chance to show you how big your grandson is. I love and miss you. I know you are in a better place but I also wish this was a dream I will wake up from. Live on beautifully in our Father’s presence. ……. Debby

My dear Pastor Kech, Honestly I do not know what to write and I hope you will understand. What can I write and where do I start? I walked into TCC a young and broken young lady and met Pastor Charles and you, a young vibrant and brilliant lady burning so hot for Jesus that I caught the revelation that it is never late for anyone with Jesus. From worship to the word I knew I was home. The word was taught with so much fervour and yet with simplicity, enough to lead anyone right back to their father. I stayed after being invited along with a friend for streams in 1996. I completed Believers classes and promptly joined the choir. The word and impact was instant and I didn’t want anything or anyone standing in my way. You and Pastor Charles became my Pastors, teachers and examples. You wedded us in 1997 and was a great part of the pregnancies and birth of all my children. From you I learnt that you can potty train a baby from Day 1. What was it you didn’t have a knowledge about? Our children constantly visited your office because you always had treats ready for them. I recall our search for Chibuokem my first daughter all over the church premises ( like the story of Jesus), almost getting hysterical, only to find her tucked behind your chair in your office oblivious of any other thing else, as you had given her chocolates and paper and crayons to colour. Is it the near death experience with my son Toby, your simple but effective prayer and his healing like nothing had happened to him at all? Or my many personal travails that only your calming intervention and God’s word brought succour constantly? I cannot talk about your dissection of God’s word for us that made the Bible come alive. The world will write about that. You left a cloud of witnesses. Pastor, your hugs!!! Even after reprimanding us, you would give those hugs. They were like balms to our wounds. Our PK, you have become such a great part of our lives that it’s impossible to imagine us without YOU. I watched you walk through challenges and come out even stronger. Your departure can only mean you were ready to go. We miss you our Mother in Israel, our WOGI, my Man of God. Ah! Pastor, when you said you were the master coup plotter, we didn’t anticipate this type. You won Pastor. You really out plotted us here. Farewell our dearest Pastor We will meet again at Jesus feet on resurrection morning. God is strengthening your dear husband God will more than strengthen your children and grandchildren He is holding up your mum We all will yet experience EXCEEDINGLY MUCH MORE. GOD spoke through you and he is not like man to lie. I love you my Pastor Kech Thank you for all you were to me and my family

To Pastor Nkechi (The Carpenter’s Church) – A Tribute by Rural Children Ministry It is with deep heart felt sorrow yet total submission to the will of God that the Rural Children Ministry (RCM) mourns the passing of Pastor Nkechi of blessed memory. She was not just a Pastor and leader of the Carpenters church but also a faithful supporter of this ministry and a true lover of rural children. In the years that she related with RCM, Her joy came from giving, whether it was blessing and supporting the children during our camp meetings or providing unwavering support to missionaries serving in difficult places. In her constant quiet giving to this missionary work, She never sought the applause of men. Pastor Kech as you were fondly called, you carried a burden to see every child reached with the gospel of Jesus. Your compassion touched countless lives, and your generosity strengthened the hands of those working on the front lines. We will never forget your remarkable contribution to the pastors whose houses were burned down in Jos, nor the kindness You and the church showed during the general coordinator’s total knee replacement. Your commitment to missions was as unwavering as your commitment to following Jesus. Anytime we came to see you, your warm welcoming smile was always an encouragement to our missionary labours Your life was a testimony of love, sacrifice, and commitment to the Kingdom. Though you are no longer with us, your impact while here on earth will continue to speak for generations. We are grateful to God for the gift of your life. Rest in the Lord, Pastor Nkechi.

Our Dear Multi-Generational Mama, Our Mother In Israel, Our Original Mama. We can never forget how much of an impact you have made in the lives of each and everyone of us. You care for us and scolded us like a real mother would. Truly you were born to preach and Impact your generation and the next. We never imagined that you would leave us at this time, but your legacy continues to live on along with the foundation you have built in each and everyone of us. Heaven celebrates at the return of Your soul to glory.

TO AUNTY PASTOR KECH Our hearts are heavy, yet overflowing with gratitude, as we celebrate the beautiful life and legacy of our beloved Pastor, Mentor, and Aunt — Pastor Kech. To us, Pastor Kech was so much more than a pastor. She was a true woman of God, our Mother in Israel; passionate, steadfast, and completely sold out to the ministry of the Word. She taught the undiluted truth with such simplicity, clarity and conviction that you couldn’t sit under her teaching and remain the same. She didn’t just preach the Word, she lived it, every single day. Through her ministry — her life-transforming TV program Fresh Dew and the many pulpits she had taught from, she reached countless lives across the world. We are blessed to be among the many whose lives were changed by her teachings. Lessons from Marriage 101 continues to shape how we view and live out our marriage — a testament to her insight and obedience to God’s voice. But beyond the pulpit, Pastor Kech was family — and she embodied everything that word means. For my wife, she wasn’t just an aunt; she was love, laughter, and light. Childhood memories of nights spent at her home are filled with warmth, her kindness, her radiant smile, and the way she made everyone feel seen, valued, and cared for. She was the kind of host who poured her heart into every moment, who gave freely, and who made her home a place of peace. Pastor Kech lived the mandate of The Carpenter’s Church — “Maturing the saints through the systematic teaching of the Word of God….” She did this with excellence and consistency, ensuring that the Word of God took deep root in the lives of all she pastored. Because of her, we have come to know God for ourselves, have become stronger believers, and our walk with God is richer and deeper. She was a teacher extraordinaire, a gracious leader, a generous giver, and a woman whose love mirrored Christ Himself. She gave without holding back and loved without conditions. Pastor Kech ran her race with strength, beauty, and grace. She fought the good fight, she kept the faith, and now, we are certain, she rests with her Savior, adorned with her crown of righteousness. (2 Timothy 4:7–8) Though our hearts ache at her absence, we are comforted knowing that she lives on: in every life she touched, in every truth she taught, and in the many hearts she helped mold. We are determined to keep walking in the light of her teachings and to model our lives after her unwavering faith, love, and devotion to Christ. (Hebrews 13:7) Rest well, Pastor Kech. You have finished well. We will keep running with joy and purpose — holding tightly to the Word you lived, the love you gave, and the example you left behind. With love, Kaodichinma and Obinna Atuchukwu
