And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life. - 1 John 2:25
Nkechi Ene passes on to Glory
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing into glory of God’s servant, our wife, daughter, mother, aunty, Pastor, and friend, Pastor Nkechi Ene, on Wednesday, 29th October 2025. Pastor Kech returned to Nigeria exhausted after a successful and extensive ministry trip, marked by miracles and testimonies. She experienced a sudden health crisis while in Lagos.
As our hearts hurt and questions assail our minds while we process this shocking news we rest assured in the unwavering truth that God is the good God and His mercies endure forever. He is always faithful. Pastor is in a better place, for to be with Christ is far better (Phil. 1:23). As Apostle Paul said, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21). Our pastor was a woman of great faith, who lived, and believed the Word of God till the very end. She gave her life in service of God and His people. She has now heard the words from her Master, “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matt. 25:21).
Despite the void of her departure, we are grateful to God for an excellent and productive life well lived. We honour and celebrate one of the great generals of God in our generation—one who lived and taught the undiluted Word of God, danced with the Holy Spirit, and who by precept and example taught us to do the same. Her life was an impactful one of faith in God, selfless, sacrificial service, and a profound love for God and humanity.
Though now absent from us, her impact and legacy endure in our hearts and in our lives. The Lord is good and His mercies endure forever. We thank God for her beautiful life and remarkable exploits in the body of Christ. Praise God! Hallelujah!!
He is faithful.

On the loss of his beloved wife, Pst. Nkechi Ene.
May She rest in the Bossom Of The Lord.
Tribute to my dearly beloved Pastor, Pastor Nkechi Ene.
A candle lit by Heaven’s hand, She burned so brightly with fervent fire — Teaching truth untainted, Feeding souls with living Word, Guiding hearts to faith’s higher ground.
Pastor Nkechi Ene was more than a pastor — she was a shining vessel of faith, love, and divine truth. A consummate woman of faith wholly yielded to God, she dedicated her life to teaching the undiluted Word with clarity, conviction, and compassion. An ardent believer in the gospel of our Lord Jesus, her messages were not mere sermons; they were life-transforming encounters that stirred and impacted hearts, strengthened faith, and deepened our walk with God. Her ministrations often manifested God's power demonstrated in signs and miracles.
A woman of unwavering faith, Steadfast in spirit, A Dancer with the Spirit, an active moving and Demonstrator of love, Given wholly to the service of God and man.
Her life was a melody of sacrifice, Each note a testimony of grace.
She lived sacrificially — giving of herself and substances without reserve. Her selflessness was evident in the countless lives she touched, the families she uplifted, and the many she inspired to serve God more passionately.
She lived not for herself,
But for others — for the flock, for the children,
For every searching heart that crossed her path.
Her arms were open, her smile a sermon, Her words — rivers of truth flowing from a heart anchored in Christ.
A great lover of children,
She saw in them the promise of tomorrow, the Future Church Speaking life, light, and laughter into their souls.
As wife and mother, she was exemplary — Strong yet tender, wise yet humble, A crown of virtue to her home and to the Body of Christ.
Balancing her home, her ministry, and her calling with grace, wisdom, and gentleness. She stood as a pillar of strength and virtue, modeling what it means to live for Christ both privately and publicly.
She understood purpose and committment to purpose. Her energy and zeal were infectious. Even in her Fight, her strength lights up when she preaches.
Though she has finished her race, her legacy of faith, love, and truth continues to shine brightly. We celebrate her life — a life well-lived for God she loved so dearly; and humanity.
Pastor Kech, or PK, as we fondly called you, your light will never dim in our hearts. Thank you for showing us how to live, love, and serve God wholeheartedly.
Glory be to God!!!, you would always repeat as you began each message.
And we join you to declare, " Glory Be to God" to the God who blessed us and gave us opportunity to walk this path with you. To the God to whom you return as finished your race here. To the God who is ever good and whose mercies endure forever. To the God who now welcomes you with His ministers, chanting, " Welcome home beloved and faithful daughter"
Till we meet again

May Almighty God grant the entire family the fortitude to bear this sudden loss. Please know that the entire DICON family is with you.
Please accept our deepest condolences Sir.

Pastor had a passion for the younger generation, such that sometimes, she would leave the adult church to be the Minister for The Carpenters Teens Church (TCTC) for a full Sunday service, Preaching, Teaching, and Taking Questions and Answers from Teenagers. She will be as practical as possible, and even wear jeans and trainers to preach, to feel like us.
Pastor taught us how to balance spirituality with academic excellence and inspired me to make a first class degree in Engineering from her own testimony. She made one in Electrical Engineering, and by God’s grace, i bagged one in Construction Engineering. She challenged every teenager under her then, to be excellent in academics, at a time when it wasn’t popular.
When i gained a scholarship in 2006 to go to Russia for university studies, she celebrated with me, and ordered the church accountant to release funds to me for my trip in both dollars and naira. A few days to my trip, she still invited me to her house, and gave me extra $300 for my trip. It wasn’t about the amounts given, rather it was the commitment, the love, the thought, the value placed on those she was privileged to Pastor.
We maintained email correspondence throughout my University days, because she would make sure i was still on track. I checked my old email yesterday, and i was shocked to see how many detailed emails we shared.
In 2009, she visited Russia with her husband for an official function, and remembered to check on me. She had a brief stay, at a city quite distant far from mine, yet she called me, prayed with me and asked for my address. She said she was sending me a letter from her hotel to my hostel. I received it in a few days, only to find dollars in wrapped in the letter!
Thank you dear Pastor for giving to your generation! Thank you for loving and teaching us how to love. Your impact and legacy would not be forgotten!

Dearest Pastor Kech,
Heaven gained a general, and though our hearts are heavy, gratitude outweighs grief. You have entered your rest, hearing the sweetest words any servant longs for — “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
I still remember being that little boy of eight or nine, watching Breakfast Television on RSTV back in 1998. Before my favourite show came on, there was a voice — calm, confident, clothed in grace. It was you. I didn’t know your name then, but your words lit a spark that never went out.
Years later, I discovered that the same voice that stirred my childhood faith belonged to the very woman God destined to be my Pastor — my covering, my compass, my Mother in Israel.
Even the thought of moving partly back to Port Harcourt once made me hesitate, until I remembered — I’d get to sit under your ministry again. That changed everything. You became one of the best things that ever happened to my spiritual life. I am not where I want to be yet, but I am certainly not where I used to be — and for that, I am forever grateful.
You are my woman of God international, my spiritual father in wisdom and depth, my leader extraordinaire, and a lover of truth and people. You taught us to live by the Word, to stand firm in faith, and to serve God with excellence and joy.
Your life was a sermon. Your walk was worship. Your voice — a call to higher living.
We are your legacy — a legacy built on the unshakeable foundation of God’s Word.
Rest well, Mama Kech. You have run your race with grace and finished with honour.
We shall meet again, but until then, we carry your torch and walk in your light.
With love, honour, and eternal gratitude,
T.S. Alalibo
A grateful son of the house — The Carpenter’s Church (TCC)

you taught me how to love, and this hurts so much because you loved us deeply. there's no way anyone could know me personally and not know my church and my pastor.
thank you for every freshdew session, every teen camp, the workers' retreat, and every single church service.
i have been so heartbroken since the news, but i know you fought the good fight and have finished the race.
for when we mourn, we do not mourn like those who have no hope, we have hope in Christ.
who else but you to be with our Lord? rest in power, my Mother in Israel.
It is with a heavy heart that I express my deepest condolences on the passing of Pastor Kesh. She was a true woman of God whose life reflected the beauty of righteousness and unwavering faith in the Lord.
Pastor Kesh’s words were filled with divine wisdom they brought light, comfort, and life to so many people, including myself. She lived a life that inspired others to draw closer to God and to walk faithfully in His purpose.
Though it is painful to say goodbye, I take solace in knowing that she has gone to be with the Lord she loved and served so passionately. I believe she is now resting in His glorious presence, smiling down on us with that same warmth and grace that she shared while here with us.
Her legacy of love, faith, and service will continue to live on in our hearts and in every life she touched. May God’s peace and strength be with her family and all who mourn her passing.
Rest well, Pastor Kesh your light will never fade.

You left too soon. I will never forget the elegant way you used to stand up in form 1v to form 3v to answer questions brilliantly in our classes at Queen's College Lagos 1980 to 1985. May your soul rest in peace. My condolences to your entire family, your ministries, and the body of Christ. This is Latifat Mustapha.
Though I am from Venezuela, 23 years ago our paths crossed, and since then, she and her family became my own.
she was a constant source of prayer, wisdom, and love.
Her faith, kindness, and gentle spirit touched my life in ways words can’t describe.
I am forever grateful for her prayers, her guidance, and the blessing of being part of her family’s journey.
You will always live in my heart, Mrs. Nkechi. Love you!!!!
I thanks God for the opportunity of seeing you at the International Faith Conference last week in Houston and give you a hug that will stay with me forever!
My thoughts and prayers are with Mrs Mercy,
Mr. Emeka, Zoe, Chloe, Tracy, and Osi.
May God comfort them with His peace and surround them with His love.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
— 2 Timothy 4:7
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
— Revelation 21:4

All the times she welcomed us in her home. Her amazing birthday party and sleepover hosting skills (I still practice her fly catching techniques!). She contributed a great deal to my happy childhood memories. I will always remember her warm smile and kind embrace. Pastor Kech, your Ncholokoto will miss you dearly.
Thank you for being a great role model for faith, leadership, marraige and family.
Mama I love you, you will forever be in my heart.
Mom as you were fondly called, where or how will I begin this write up from kwanu….! You were more than a mother figure to me and everyone around you— a true inspiration, a rare gem. Your warmth, kindness, and gentle spirit always leaves a mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing you for realllll….!
You have a special way of making one feel loved, valued, and understood, no matter the circumstance.
Ma, you carried yourself with such grace and quiet strength. You nurtured many beyond your own family, offering guidance, encouragement, education, gifts and comfort whenever it was needed. Your words were full of wisdom, your smile full of warmth, and your presence full of peace.
You were a woman of deep faith, wisdom, and compassion. Your words were always full of encouragement, your laughter sincere, and your presence comforting. You gave so much of yourself to others, never seeking recognition — only the joy of seeing people around you grow, comforted and smile.
I will always cherish the memories of your love, gifts and the lessons you taught….Bose Forgive them.. Just Forgive...!
Your grace and guidiance opened international doors for me and my family and was looking forward to attending freshdew faith feast canada 2026….God is a Good God!!!
Though your passing leaves a deep void, I am grateful for the gift of your life and the light you shared so freely.
You will always live in our hearts and we take solace in knowing that you lived a full and impactful life. Your legacy of kindness, faith, and humility will continue to inspire us for years to come.
Rest well Mom!
New Mom….❤️
I still feel it’s a dream though…i’m just following everyone and be watching….!
Rest well, mighty woman of God.
Praying for the family, church of God and body of Christ at large. We shall all live again never to die
I pray that the good lord will give my dear brother Emeka Ene and the entire family the fortitude to bear the loss. In Jesus name.

I pray the Lord will comfort your husband,children,family, and the church.
Heaven Rejoice!
We are lost for words but I know God is good.
Coming to the Carpenters Church, you were the first to show us that you could show love to someone you are not really familiar with by giving my wife bundle of your beautiful shirts. You became a mother to Chimamma . You are a mother to all the Tccubs and you still reach out to them even in diaspora.
You are a blessing to my family, you advised Chimamma as she was going to school and she has followed and is still following those life changing and invaluable advice.
You are such a blessing to her, most recently spoke to her and blessed her with $150, .
Pastor we love you and we want to assure you that your legacy we will follow and make you proud as you watch from heaven. Rest on Pastor, you are loved by us.
We will miss you but we know you are in a better place.

It is well!

It was so beautiful to see a woman with so much conviction about faith. You preached the gospel, you taught only Jesus. I love you so much. I will never forget what you taught me. I still remember your voice saying those words. “God is not a good God, he is THE good God”. It is His nature to be good.
You returned home a general. You always look beautiful. I won’t forget you my mama. I love you and I will see you again on resurrection morning.
Good night and I will keep praying for your loved ones
I love you Pastor Nkechi

May God comfort your family. Your memory is forever blessed. 💐
I’m so grateful for the gift of you.
I’m glad I got to be under your ministration for so many years
You would be missed dearly.

Does this hurt? A lot. It really does. But to live in Christ and to die is gain. We haven’t lost you. Heaven has gained your soul and the legacy of your life would always be a pointer to Christ.
Well done Great General! Love always 🤍
Please try and take comfort in knowing that she is now resting safely in the arms of our Lord, who she served with such fervour, where there is no more sorrow or pain.
May the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind. And may God’s presence surround you with strength, love, and the gentle assurance that you will one day be reunited.
You are in my prayers always.
