Ma, Thank you for faithfully serving your heavenly and earthly family. I experienced your impact most concretely through your lovely daughter, who God used to spur on and reignite my faith in a wilderness season. I am forever grateful, ma. May your legacy live on in Christ. Grace and peace to you as you rest in Christ Jesus. Blessings, Kene

My Dearest Mummy, Never in my life have I encountered anyone quite like Pastor Kech. From the very first day I heard you preach live, my heart was captivated. I have always marvelled at how a woman could so gracefully embody many callings, a Mother, a Pastor, a Leader, an Administrator, a Counselor, a Mentor, and much more, yet carry each role with such excellence, wisdom, and divine poise. You are a woman truly blessed among many, a radiant light whose brilliance the world was only beginning to behold. The news of your passing remains one of the hardest I have ever had to bear. Yet, even in the pain, I find peace knowing that you now rest with Christ our Saviour, shining in the fullness of His glory. Everything I ever told you I wanted to do, every goal, every dream, by God’s grace, I will pursue and accomplish them all, to make both Jesus and you proud. Your life has marked me forever. I will love you always and miss you deeply, Mummy. Until we meet again — in glory everlasting.

My first encounter with you was via your ‘love letter’ TV programme to the residents of Port Harcourt city, Rivers State, Nigeria, FRESH DEW. I and my family used it as our Saturday morning devotion, back in the days. Your teachings were Bible-based and balanced. You lived well and fully for the Master, Jesus Christ. You never allowed the enemy to steal your voice. You lived and died as a warrior of The Lord’s Army. I know that you are already getting your “Well done” reception from Him already. Shalom

Pastor kech, your unwavering devotion to the teaching of God’s Word was a guiding light to my life. I am eternally grateful for your steadfast leadership, defined by humility, wisdom, and an unshakable commitment to the Gospel. You didn’t merely preach the Word—you embodied it. You made the mysteries of Scripture come alive, and your passion for truth and excellence awakened a deeper hunger for Christ within me. Though we grieve your passing, we find comfort in knowing you are in a better place. Indeed,Heaven has welcomed a faithful daughter. Thank you for the values you instilled, the truths you revealed, and the love you poured out so generously. Thank you our General, our Man of God, for leading with courage, loving with sincerity, and serving with excellence. Adieu, Pastor

My Beloved Pastor Kech I’m stilling trying to come to terms that you aren’t with us anymore. I get to hear your voice everyday and it just reminds me that you were indeed part of my faith walk. I grew up listening to Fresh dew and then one day I was invited to TCC by a member’s niece who used to work with my dad. That day I came and you were taking the series Life Lessons from Father Abraham PT 28. The words I heard that day brought about a paradigm shift in my understanding of what Christianity was all about. You have impacted my life and that of my family in many ways but cannot pen them all down. Thank for yielding to this call and loving so deeply that even those who haven’t met with you felt your impact. I will miss you greatly; Your smile, your laughter and when you shout ‘Glory be to God’. I am confident that you are in a better place and this brings me joy though sad that you are not with us anymore. I will always love you Pastor Kech, my Mother in Israel.

And your legacy shall truly live on. Keep resting in the bosom of the Lord singing with the Angels! Rest in perfect peace Pastor Nkechi! May the Lord comfort your husband and children in Jesus mighty name! Amen

A TRIBUTE TO OUR BELOVED BOSS PAR EXCELLENCE – PASTOR NKECHINYERE ENE We never thought we would be writing this tribute for your homegoing, at least, not at this time or even in 20 years’ time, if Christ tarries, but here we go! The depth of your impact is top-notch! You built in us audacity & capacity, yet never settled for less than excellence. Our standards, developed from the Word of God, are second to none; as far as professional work ethics, procedures & practices are concerned, we match & even exceed any professional organization anywhere in the world. You were the first Staff Partner in TCM and often said you are the only one who cannot resign because this is was more of a destiny call for you. You were the “engine-room” like Pastor Cee called you. And till date, your work profile is unmatched! You literally have to be implored to go on vacation! You’re highly intelligent, diligent, efficient, resourceful, dedicated, courageous, passionate and consistently committed. There’s hardly any job assignment you had no ample knowledge about, yet with a sense of rare humility & simplicity. You placed a high value on all Staff Partners and instilled the “family” atmosphere in our working environment; with new Staff Partners easily integrated into the social fabric of the Ministry office. You operated an open-door policy. Everyone is fairly treated, no “sacred cows”. You always ensured to keep a relationship with former Staff Partners and they can freely come back at any time to support the work… You were easily accessible to everyone of us and we felt your motherly touch/affection in everything. Training (learning, development, updates) was a core high value activity you believed should run consistently. You never flinched to explore new ways of doing things even when there is a visible high risk involved and it always paid off …” It Can Only Get Better”, was one phrase you loved to use. Our Boss par excellence, you always considered our welfare and kept it at the core of your heart; dishing out incentives, love gifts, bonuses, upgrades and unusual promotions even when it was evidently inconvenient! You constantly drew our attention to El Shaddai as our source of limitless supply. Discipline was always based on LOVE. Its essence was never to demean but to impress the seriousness of the misconduct and give an opportunity to reflect on the spirit of excellence and integrity the Ministry is standing on; lovingly correcting the offender to repentance. We deeply, deeply miss you, our role model – We salute our Matriarch General with Innumerable “GBOSAS” to infinity! We promise not to drop the ball of your legacy, with God helping us! We raise our Hallelyahs to the One who was, who is and who is to come as you eternally rest in His bosom. – TCM STAFF PARTNERS GLOBAL

From my earliest years as a child at home, we always looked forward to Freshdew before Breakfast Television on RSTV every Saturday in Port Harcourt. To my greatest surprise, I was invited to the Carpenter’s Church in my early 20s, and it turned out to be one of the best encounters any young man could have. Now, 12 years ago, I must say what a life and mind-transforming journey this has been for me. From personally meeting you by word of knowledge when you called out my case to privately meet you in person, you have indeed been a loving Pastor and Mom to me, regardless of distance. I have received instant healing under your teachings. I quit substance use and other lifestyle choices, just realising the love of the Father, and His investment ahead of time for me, despite never having or growing up with either parents. I was a wreck, nothing admirable about me, but brick by brick, your teachings began to build and mould me. Since February 6th 2015, when I received Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, nothing has been so real to me than basking in the love of the Father every day of my life in purpose, knowing that he is indeed Big in Me. Through your ministry and word of knowledge, God has remained true to every word. After these many days of mourning, this is me celebrating you, Pastor Nkechi Ene. Your last Freshdew series, “Your Faith and the Two Systems of Life,” has been such a relief. You said it was a win-win—as if you knew this moment was going to be right before us. Oh, what a time we had with you. All praise and adoration to our Father in heaven. The Carpenter’s Church, where I accepted Christ under your teaching and was groomed for Better Things. You have now passed on to glory, leaving behind Freshdew as an institution with thousands of catalogued series and teachings to last my generation and those to come a lifetime. What a Legacy. What a Global TV Ministry of 27 years and Counting. Continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus. Your curriculum inspired by Him may be complete, but your global teaching is not over and will never be. Until your warm embrace again. Thank you for the solid foundation in Christ that you instilled in me. You will always and forever be in my heart. I love and celebrate you, Pastor Kech. Always will!!
