TRIBUTE TO MY DEAR PASTOR OUR MOTHER IN ISRAEL, LATE PASTOR NKECHI ENE. It is really sad, dishearten and painful to lose such a loving peaceful, humble, kind, generous and God general. My mother in Israel though you are no more, you will always live on our hearts. Indeed, the world is a stage you have acted your own part excellently, to the growth of your family, church, society, especially fresh dew programme that is known all over the world, through the help of God almighty, you have been the source of many family livelihood. Your goodness no bounds, you maintained an unshakable belief in the five basic human value accepted all over the world by scholars, which are love, truth, peace, right conduct and always teaching the right word. May your soul rest in peace.

My dear Pastor Kech, The first day I walked into your office, I was like a reed that was trampled by an 18-wheeler. There was definitely no hope in sight… or so I thought. That day, you spoke to my spirit man, and even my soul paid attention. I heard things about myself that I thought were lost forever. You were not so much interested in the roles of the different parties, but you looked me in the eye and said to me, “Helen, forget about whatever has happened in the past and just fall in love with the Word of God. Know God as your Father”. “Helen, there is more for you in God!”. To know God as my Father? Not to know my pastor as my father? “How is that possible?” I wondered. It all sounded too good to be true, given my circumstances at the time, but I dared to believe. Oh, I took your counsel! One day at a time, step by step, I fell in love with the Word of God, and I began to grow. Gradually, oh but steadily, depression began to peel off; my memory could retain useful information again. I could hear a joke and laugh heartily. Waoh! God’s Word works. And the more I studied the Word, the more I came to know that God was my Father and not my pastor’s Father or my Grand Daddy. The more I sat under your ministry, the more I fell in love with you. You were so pure, so transparent. You taught and encouraged everyone to go back and check the scriptures to confirm what you taught, to be like the Berean Christians. You were so secure. Then I began to serve, and as I served, I got closer to you. You ceased every opportunity to tell me you loved me and that I was a blessing. I recall when I accompanied you to your first ministration at the WAFBEC. It was such an honour for me, yet you were so thankful as though I was doing you a great favour. After the conference, you sent me money and called it ‘offering’. I remember asking, “Pastor, for what?” And with your signature smile, you responded, “We came to minister together”. Your kind words were always so inspiring. You loved me and showed it in so many ways. You were so kind and generous. Oh, Pastor, you were just a serial giver to everyone who came in contact with you. You showered me with gifts – money, clothes, shoes, hair, a phone, food, etc. Oh clothes!!!!!!! One day I ‘spooted’ one of them and ministered in church, afterwards, you said, “Nne, I saw you smoking hot on stage”. And I said, “Pastor, I’m learning from the main Chimney o”. “You’re Chimney Jr, then”, you replied. Oh my Mama, you always made people feel special. Your life was an open book! I learnt from you when you preached, when you counseled, when you rebuked, and when you joked. Even when you were silent, there were loads of lessons to glean from. You were just a mobile wisdom house. Your impact on my life is growing, but I’m very grateful for what you imparted to me, and I am beginning to see its expression in my life. Pastor, I am eternally grateful to God for bringing me to you, to teach me, encourage me, nurture me, and ordain me into ministry. I am grateful to God for the life you lived and the legacy that you left for us to continue. Pastor, my heart will always remember you. Rest on, Mama. (Pastor Helen Nwuzi)

Tribute to Pastor Kech, Our Mother in Israel I can’t believe I’m writing this tribute. Pastor Kech, you’ll be deeply missed, but I take comfort in knowing you are in a far better place. Thank you for your unwavering love, your selfless service, and the countless lives you touched while here on earth. Heaven has truly received a great minister of the Lord. Your legacy of faith, compassion, and devotion will continue to live in our hearts. Rest well, our Mother in Israel

Dear Pastor Kech A radiant light has faded from our sight, Leaving hearts shattered, tears in endless night. Your smile, a sunrise that warmed our way, Now a cherished memory, we hold each day. Though I promised not to question God’s design, Grief whispers questions, as tears fall like autumn’s rain. Yet gratitude blooms, for the time we shared, Your laughter echoed joy, a melody so sweet, Tears of surprise on birthdays, a love so unique. Your dance, a symphony of praise and delight, A radiance that shone, a beacon in the night. In your loving guidance, we found our way, A mentor, a pastor, a mother, in every way. You showed us God’s love, a love so pure and kind, Making faith a journey, where love is always on our mind. Though we miss your presence, your physical light, We know you’re watching over us, in God’s eternal sight. Your legacy blooms, a flower nurtured with care, A testament to your love, beyond compare. We miss you deeply, your smile, your loving gaze, But we take comfort, in the memories that never fade. Rest in peace, dear one, your work is done, Your love, your legacy, forever won. Your impact on our lives, a lasting impression, A love that’s etched, in every heart’s confession. We’ll carry your memory, your love, your light, And strive to live, as you taught us to live, in love and in sight. #wildflower

A Tribute to My Dearest Pastor – Pastor (Mrs.) Nkechi Ene, Our Mother in Israel It’s so hard to find the right words — and even harder to say goodbye to my dearest Pastor, as I fondly called you. Pastor Nkechi Ene was not just my pastor; she was my teacher, my mentor, my counsellor, my spiritual mother, and one of God’s greatest gifts to my life. She taught me what it truly means to live by faith, to love without limits, and to chase after God with every breath. Working closely with her for almost two decades shaped me into the woman, wife, and mother I am today. Pastor was a complete woman — full of grace, wisdom, strength, and warmth. She even taught me how to cook good meals! I remember those early years, before marriage was even in view, she would tease and say with that bright smile, “Peace, your husband will have to pay me for all these cooking lessons you’re getting!” She was such a sweet mother — always making sure anyone who dined with her left full and happy. Pastor didn’t believe in small servings; she gave in “good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.” I learned that from her too — to give abundantly and with joy. Truly, there isn’t an aspect of my life that Pastor Kech didn’t touch. Her influence is lifelong. I also watched her raise her children with love and discipline. Even now, as adults, with all their exposure and success, they still carry that same humility and respect. You can hardly meet them without a warm greeting. I saw Pastor instill those values in them from childhood, and they never departed from them. Pastor, you poured yourself out for the gospel. You traveled far and wide, carrying the light of Christ with such grace and strength. Your words were never ordinary — they were life, truth, and power. Through your teachings, I discovered a deeper relationship with God. You were love in human form — gentle yet firm, humble yet full of fire for the Lord. You lived what you preached and showed us that true greatness is found in service and surrender to the Father. It’s difficult to imagine TCC without your voice, your laughter, your wisdom, and your presence. But even in the silence, your impact speaks louder than ever. Your legacy of faith will live on in our hearts. Your teachings will continue to shape destinies, and your love will never fade. Rest well, Fresh Dew Mama. You have fought the good fight, finished your course, and kept the faith. Heaven has truly gained a fearless, gallant soldier of Christ. Thank you for everything, my dearest Pastor. You will forever remain in my heart — and in our hearts. I will always love you and most importantly remain grateful to God that you pastored & mentored me.

Tribute to My Beloved Pastor Words fail me as I try to express the depth of my sorrow over the passing of my dear pastor, mentor, and spiritual mother. Her departure has left a void in my heart that no one else can fill. Pastor Kech was more than a minister to me. she was a guiding light, a source of wisdom, and a pillar of love and encouragement. Her prophecies, prayers, and counsel transformed my life in ways I could never have imagined. I still remember the day she spoke a prophetic word over my life that gave me the courage to take a bold step of faith. Through her inspiration, I resigned from my job and started my own business. Today, that business is flourishing—all because she believed in me when I was unsure of myself. When she heard about the opening, she didn’t just rejoice with me; she went further to bless me with a generous financial support that helped establish my foundation. There was also a time I made a mistake in church. I failed to deliver an assignment I was entrusted with, and I thought that would be the end of my opportunities to serve. But in her characteristic way, she forgave me, encouraged me, and gave me another chance. That act of grace taught me the true meaning of love, patience, and leadership. Beyond ministry, Pastor Kech cared deeply about every area of my life. In moments when my family and marriage faced challenges, she was there with wise counsel, comfort, and prayer. Her words always carried divine insight and compassion. Her life was a living testimony of God’s love, humility, and service. Though she is no longer here with us physically, her impact remains deeply rooted in my heart and in the lives of many she touched. Rest on, my beloved pastor. Your legacy of love, faith, and selfless service will continue to speak through the countless lives you nurtured. You have fought a good fight, finished your course, and kept the faith. You will forever be missed, but your light will never go out.

A Tribute to Our Dear Pastor Kech My name is Precious Ihuoma Aririahulam, and this message comes from me and my family. It is hard to put into words what Pastor Kech meant to us. She was not just our pastor, she was a mother figure, a spiritual covering, and a pillar of strength. Through her teachings, I learned how to trust God, how to make wise decisions, and how to hold on to hope even when things looked impossible. She preached the Word of God with so much life, joy, and energy. Her messages were never ordinary, they were filled with truth, love, and power. Sometimes, when I face challenges, I still remember her voice, her expressions, and the way she would drive a message home with so much conviction. It always reminded me that God is real, and that I am never alone. One moment I will never forget was when I had a serious ear problem years ago. One of my ears was completely shut and oozing pus. It was painful, embarrassing, and difficult to live with. While trusting God for healing, I went to church one Sunday. Pastor Kech was preaching, it was not a healing service, just a regular sermon, and suddenly she said, “There is a young lady here with a hearing issue in one ear. That ear is open right now.” Right there, I knew she was speaking to me. I placed my hand on my ear and keyed into the prophetic ministration with faith. I did not know how that pain left, I did not know when the pus stopped pouring out, I did not know when my ear became perfectly fine, but I just knew that I no longer felt the pain and I no longer perceived that smell. It was a miraculous healing, and I cannot explain how it happened, but I know God did it through her ministry. Through her life and ministry, my family and I have experienced countless blessings. God has shown Himself faithful in every season. Even when it looked like there was no way, He always made a way, and I know it is because of the spiritual foundation we received through her teachings. Losing her is painful, but I take comfort in knowing that heaven has gained a beautiful soul. She lived with purpose, served with passion, and gave her all for the Kingdom. Her legacy will always live in our hearts and in the lives of everyone she touched. To her husband, her children, and our entire Carpenters Church family, may God give you peace, comfort, and strength. We share in your pain, but we also share in the joy of knowing she is with the Lord. Pastor Kech, thank you for everything. You will forever be loved, remembered, and celebrated. With love, Precious Ihuoma Aririahulam and Family

Tribute to Pastor Kech Pastor Kech was a shining light—an embodiment of faith, wisdom, and genuine love for God’s people. Through her words and deeds, she inspired countless lives including mine and led with grace, strength, and compassion. Her faith never wavered, her joy was contagious, and her love was unconditional. Though she has gone home to be with the Lord, her impact remains deeply rooted in our hearts. Her legacy of faith and love will continue to guide and inspire us. Rest well, God’s faithful servant
