And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life. - 1 John 2:25
Pastor 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, 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.

Condolence Register
This is a hard pill to swallow, but I am certain now that you are in a better place, a higher environment. Though, this is truly a trying time for me, my family, TCC, and the Body of Christ but we find solace in the fact that you are now part of the cloud of witnesses cheering us on.
You were a selfless woman, devoted to serving humanity and fulfilling your divine calling with unwavering dedication. You were truly a Prophet & a Pastor that always heard from God. I’ll never forget your words: “It’s never a luxury to hear from God.” That truth has been the foundation of my life for the past five years.
Your impact on my life, family and business is immeasurable. Your walk with God, your heart, and your leadership have left an indelible mark.
We will meet again. Rest in glory, my beloved Pastor. Your legacy lives on.

A shining light has gone home to glory, but her radiance will forever remain in my heart.
Pastor, you were more than a spiritual leader — You were a mother, a mentor, and a friend to so many, including me and my family. Your words carried healing, your prayers moved mountains, and your presence brought peace and faith wherever you went.
You taught us to love God deeply, to walk in faith, and to serve others with humility and joy. In every sermon, every counsel, and every act of kindness, you reflected the heart of Christ. Your laughter, your strength, and your unwavering devotion and great FAITH in God continue to inspire us even now.
Though our hearts ache at your passing, we take comfort in knowing you have finished your race VICTORIOUSLY. You have entered your eternal rest — crowned with glory, surrounded by the angels, and embraced by the Saviour you loved so dearly.
I will miss your voice, calling my full name (Efeturi), your wisdom, your gentle smile — but your legacy lives on in every life you touched.
You personally touched my life, you loved me soooooo unconditionally, despite my flaws.
Finally, we will carry your teachings in our hearts and continue the work you began, knowing that you are watching over us from heaven.
Thank you, Pastor, for giving your all to God’s people. You are truly a gift to this generation and generations unborn. I love you, I honour you, and will never forget you.
Rest in perfect peace, God’s General.

Love Always,
Mrs I.

Every single day since you’ve been gone, I’ve allowed myself a few minutes of the “comfort of disbelief”.
“Big Mom is on a trip and I’ll see her in June 2026 as we discussed two weeks ago”. I allow myself that thought for as long as I can, before reality hits me again.
Thank you for everything Big Mom… Thank you.
My earliest memory of you is in the church office kitchen, offering me a slice of cake, banana and groundnuts - I was probably 6 or 7yrs old then.
And you continued to pour into me (and my family) in so many ways over the last 20+ years. You’ve been Teacher, Pastor, Prophet, sometimes referee, encourager, corrector, MOTHER…❤️
From admissions to graduations to small and big jobs to the overwhelming details of adulting …you have been there for me.
Big Mom, I never doubted your love for me and I hope you were as sure of my love for you, as I was of yours for me.
Forever in my heart,
“Ada Spence”

Dancing With The Holy Spirit — A Farewell of Grace
You have danced your final dance,
Beloved Mother in Israel, radiant and true.
Grace marked your every step,
And Heaven’s glory now welcomes you.
Your words flowed like living water,
Healing hearts, mending souls.
You taught us faith that never falters,
And love that endlessly unfolds.
Through storms and seasons,
You danced with the Spirit, unwavering and free
A vessel of divine fire,
A light for all eternity.
You showed us worship beyond song and sound,
A holy rhythm where miracles abound.
You led us to depths where the Spirit reigns,
Where joy conquers sorrow, and peace remains.
Now, Heaven’s choir receives your praise,
As angels join your endless gaze.
Though tears may fall and hearts may ache,
Your legacy of faith will never break.
Mother, your footprints mark our way,
Your teachings echo every day.
And till we stand where you now stand,
We’ll dance with the Spirit, hand in hand.
Rest in glory, dear Pastor,
Your race is run; your crown is won.
Your life—a melody of grace and power
Forever shining, forever sung.

Pastor m, you were a rare gift—faithful, bold, compassionate, and full of grace. You led with love, served with excellence, and lived the Word with unwavering conviction.

Your legacy lives on in every life you touched.
Rest in glory, beloved Pastor Kech.
Forever cherished. Forever missed. ❤️
It's just like yesterday but it been 2 months already. I still remember the smile on your face that warm evening during teaching service after our church family meeting on Sunday, where you Urged us to pay attention to other church activities so to keep learning more the word of God and keep growing.
You asked a question about how we intend to achieve things in life in-between from God, and offer a $100 gift to whom ever got it right. I tried with some other members of the church. However the truth was for me I tried winning the money because I actually beg a church friend for my transport fee to church that evening and as I am hungry as well. Even when I got the money I was tempted to eat with money and forget going to church, But I took that bold decision to come anyway with empty stomach and I was filled with the word for I went home happy and satisfied. So I tried to get the answer, I was pretty close but still fail. The lovely smile at you face when you look at me and ask "do you want to take my money?" after I picked up the mic to share my idea made me to forget the mean intention why I decided to even think about answering the question in the first place. It warms my souls and soften my heart I couldn't even get over that smile, the look and your voice because that is the closer I have gotten to you for a while in months this year.
But as the answer to your question happens to be "The Will of God" so I do not bored asking the questions of why do you have to leave us this soon.
You loved us so much in Carpenters' church and we Love you so much too and we are going to miss you dearly.
Rest Well Pastor KECHI, You'll always be on our Heart.
Beloved.
Aniebonam Chukwuebuka Michael.

Glory be to God. Hallelujah.
She has been my pastor for so many years, she loves God with all in her and she taught us to do the same.
I am grateful to God for the opportunity to know her personality. Pastor, words fail me to write this.. but our consolation is that you have gone to rest.
I love you Pastor and I will miss you, your legacy lives on.
It is well!
Presiding Pastor, The Carpenter’s Church
Words fail me today…
The news of your passing hit me like a thunderbolt. I still find it hard to accept that you are gone. Pastor Nkechi Ene — my first boss, my mentor, my inspiration, my teacher. You were more than a leader; you were a divine compass that shaped the man I’ve become.
I remember the first day I joined your team — fresh from youth service, uncertain but eager. You saw in me what I couldn’t yet see in myself. You took me in and gave me a chance to work on my first major project — the magnificent 6,000-seater Carpenter’s Church auditorium. For eight years, I worked under your guidance as a site engineer, but in truth, it was a school of life.
You taught me discipline — that excellence is not optional.
You instilled in me hard work and creativity, pushing me to always find better ways to build, think, and serve.
You taught me integrity, purpose, and ethical values — principles that continue to guide me daily.
You showed me ownership mentality, partnership, and the beauty of taking responsibility.
Every site meeting, every correction, every late night at the project site — they all built in me a foundation that no storm can shake. You didn’t just teach me how to construct buildings; you taught me how to build character.
Your teachings, sermons, and life remain an unshakable part of my story. You lived what you preached. You led with vision, conviction, and grace. Even in your firmness, there was love. Even in correction, there was mentorship.
Your death came to me as a shock, Pastor. 😢
It feels unreal — as though the voice that once gave instructions on-site or inspired faith on the pulpit should still be here.
I love you dearly, ma. Your impact on my life is eternal. Your legacy in The Carpenter’s Church and in the countless lives you shaped will never fade.
Rest well, Pastor Nkechi Ene.
Heaven has truly gained a gem, and earth has lost one of its finest.
You may have finished your work here, but your spirit, your teachings, and your example will continue to live through us all.
With love, gratitude, and tears,
– Prince Enyinna Anoruo
(Your Site Engineer, Student, and Son in Purpose) 💔
You are still one of my favourite humans and a constant source of inspiration. I'm gradually coming to terms with the fact that you won't ask for my head to knock or open your arms wide to give me a hug, oh, those hugs, very comforting and peaceful. But guess what, you're in a far better place, so I will not grieve like one who does not have hope but rejoice for a life well spent doing what the Father asked of you with grace, passion, and a sense of urgency. I will emulate these characteristics.
I love you forever, Pastor Mu, je nke oma.

As humans, our natural response to death may be fear, sadness, anger, or frustration. Yet these are merely human emotions, faith speaks differently. Faith declares that the death of the saints is the soul’s greatest achievement. Though we grieve, our hearts rejoice in knowing that God’s promises stand supreme.
Pastor Nkechi was a truly blessed and faithful servant of God. As I mourn her passing, I also celebrate her glorious transition to her Father’s house.
Her teachings have deeply blessed and inspired me. They were solid, timeless, and will continue to stand firm for generations to come.
May her soul be overjoyed and at peace in her Father’s embrace, and may her family find the enduring strength to walk through the excruciating valley of grief. It shall be well with them.



with so much confidence and believe that at every time you preach there is always a word you drop that heals my heart. I love you, and you will always remain in my heart.Rest on my beloved Mother in Israel.

It’s still so hard for me to say goodbye. You were not just a pastor to me, but an irreplaceable shepherd. You taught me how to know God for myself and helped me remove the wrong doctrines that once filled my mind.
Your words of faith have shaped every area of my life. 100% of the success I have achieved today is because of your impact through your undiluted teaching of the Word of God and your prophecies.
Please come back; I have so many testimonies of God’s faithfulness in my life that I long to share with you
I love "U"💕 my MGM

Pastor Nkechi Ene served God and His people with grace, truth, and unwavering faith. Her life was a message of love, excellence, and dedication. Though she is gone, her impact lives on in every life she touched.
Rest well, God’s faithful servant.
My heart aches knowing you’re no longer here, but my consolation is in Christ.
Your words inspired hope, your prayers brought healing, and your love reflected the heart of Christ. Though your presence will be greatly missed, your legacy of faith, service, and compassion will live on in the lives of everyone you impacted.
Thank you for teaching me about Christ, thank you for answering that great call and running on the mandate of Christ, thank you for your support and Love.
May the Lord comfort all who mourn your passing and grant us peace in knowing you now rest in His glorious presence.
Rest in eternal peace, My Pastor Kech, my mother in Israel, my multi-dimensional pastor, my leader, Your work here was truly a blessing, and your light will never fade.

From my teenage years, you have been a guiding light ,shaping, nurturing, and teaching me lessons that will last a lifetime.
You taught me faith, integrity, wholeness, unconditional love, service, and true leadership. Through your words, your example, and your unwavering devotion to God’s call, you molded me into the young woman I am today.
Those formative years under your guidance were impactful and unforgettable. You didn’t just teach me how to live,you showed me what it means to live for God, to love deeply, and to serve selflessly.
You are more than a pastor to me; you are a mother, a mentor, and a rare gift from God. Your life continues to inspire me, and your love remains deeply rooted in my heart.
You are, and will always be, a blessing to me and my family.
Thank you for answering the call of God and fulfilling His purpose with such grace and excellence.
I love you deeply, and I will forever cherish you in my heart. 💖💕

Pastor Nkechi is an enigma, I am using active words to describe Pst Kech because she still lives with us. Our first personal encounter was during our premarital counselling in 2002, and it left an indelible mark on me as an individual. I have met many people who haven't meet you in person but have a bigger than life picture of your teachings. My family and I will surely miss you but we are consoled that you are in a better place.


God’s General of Faith
A rare gem has completed her assignment and returned home in glory. Pastor Nkechi Ene, a valiant soldier of Christ, has laid down her earthly armor and stepped into the presence of the Lord she loved, served, and represented with excellence.
Her departure came after seasons of back-to-back impactful ministrations, both at home and across nations. Even in her final days on earth, she poured out her spirit, strength, and voice for the Kingdom, unwavering, unbroken, unrelenting. Truly, she fought the good fight of faith and finished her course with honor.
Pastor Nkechi Ene did not merely pass through earth, she marked it.
She did not pursue fame, she pursued souls.
She did not count years, she counted impact.
Indeed, it is not how long we live, but how well. And she lived well, intentionally, purposefully, on duty, and on fire for God.
A builder of destinies.
A fountain of revelation knowledge.
A shepherd who fed God’s people with truth, integrity, and grace.
A woman of the Word(Fresh Dew), prayer, conviction, and spiritual stature.
Heaven receives her with rejoicing; earth releases her with gratitude and tears. Her voice may be silent here, but her legacy echoes in nations, in hearts, and in the lives transformed through her ministry.
We celebrate a life poured out like a drink offering, a general who stayed faithful to her calling, a trailblazer who showed that obedience to God is the true measure of greatness.
Rest well, God’s General.
You finished strong.
You lived well.
And your impact will speak for generations.
~ Dr. Yemi Faith Alfred


No one has ever come close to impacting my life the way you did. Though you are no longer with us, your influence, your love for God’s truth, and your passion for souls will remain evergreen in my heart.
I thank God that I had the privilege of meeting you. You have fought the good fight, finished your course, and kept the faith. Rest on pastor Kech

Sincerely,
Chukwunweolu Okoro


You are not only a pastor, but also a mother, leader, mentor, teacher, excellent boss (the kindest I have ever had).
It's in tears I write this because loosing you hurts a lot. You are a rare gem that can never be replaced but I am consoled with the fact that you are in Heaven, a much better place. You have emptied your wealth of knowledge and impacted millions of lives.
It is a blessing to have known you and worked closely with you.
Forever loved.❤️

When I walked into The Carpenter's Church everything was almost the opposite of the strict Christian background I came from, women wearing trouser to church? Ah!. Women wearing makeup and long hair uncovered? Ah!😂
As a young girl from an Orthodox background with my dad as a pastor, yes! I judged a lot of things.😂
But, it was time for music ministration, I was totally blown away, then the choir? Omg!!. That's how I stayed, Just because the choir and singers were absolutely amazing. Their sounds, lyrics, and heavenly voices drew me in.
I hoped and prayed that one day, I would join them. At that time, the Word wasn't really what held me, it was the music. I stayed!.
I didn’t know who I was or what I wanted out of life, but I was sure of one thing, I wanted to join New Wine Choir, The Carpenter's Church, Port Harcourt , Years went by as I grew from teenager to adult ( because its an adult choir) and after several attempts, I finally did. But before that happened, something greater had begun to shift within me, the Word of God started to come alive in my heart, I wasn't just looking forward to seeing the choir, I also began to look forward to seeing Pastor Nkechi Ene bring the Word.
As a young teenager, (even as an adult)I admired her deeply. Her poise, her strength, her elegance, her humor, everything about her spoke of grace and purpose. I loved how she would sprinkle funny stories into her messages, making the Word so engaging and yet so profound.
Her teachings, her lifestyle, and her unwavering devotion to God shaped me into the woman I am today, (one who knows and loves Jesus personally). Through her, I saw what it meant to live for God with passion, integrity, and excellence.
At some point in my journey, I attended the Ekklesia: School of Local Church because I was hungry to know more about God. It remains one of the best experiences I’ve ever had as a young believer. It grounded me, opened my eyes to the truth of God’s Word, and deepened my relationship with Him.
Though Pastor Kech has gone to be with the Lord, I thank God every day for using her as a vessel to direct my life. Her walk with God was a mirror through which I saw myself. The reflection of her character was worth emulating, I learned integrity, consistency, pure love, humility, selflessness, excellence, how to be effortlessly beautiful and classy yet Spirit-filled, and how to be intellectually articulate.
Thank you, Pastor Kech, for everything.
Though your time here was short, your impact was eternal. I rest in the sweet conviction that you are in heaven, rejoicing with the angels and beholding Abba face to face.
Thank you for teaching me to know God for myself. With the help of Abba, I will continue to walk in the principles and precepts you lived by. Your faith in God was unwavering, your love genuine, your passion contagious. You groomed this young lady here (me), every word, every act, every gentle correction came from a place of pure love.
Every message you preached, every prayer you prayed, every lesson you taught helped shape me into who God has designed me to be. I'm not yet where God has asked me to be yet, but I know I'm on the right track, God used you to place me on that track.
Thank you, Pastor Kech.
Your legacy lives on in my heart, in my faith, and in my journey with God. I love you❤️❤️
Brenda Iwu.

David Aniefiok Ben..
I know that God is good, and His mercies truly endure forever. I will keep walking in the authority I have in Christ.
May the Lord grant you eternal rest.
My heart is broken, yet overflowing with gratitude.
Pastor Nkechi, you were more than a pastor to me, you were a divine gift, a model of everything I aspire to be. Your life radiated excellence, faith, and unshakable confidence in God. You taught me that walking with God isn’t just about believing; it’s about becoming everything He destined us to be.
Through your teachings and your life, you showed me what it means to live with purpose, integrity, and love. You inspired me to do better, live better, and dream bigger, all anchored in Christ.
Even though my heart aches, I am comforted knowing you lived fully, passionately, and faithfully to the very end. The foundation you laid in the Word of God is eternal, and your legacy will continue to shape lives for generations.
Thank you for giving so much of yourself to us. I will keep pressing forward, walking in the authority I have in Christ, just as you taught me.
I love you deeply, Pastor Nkechi. You will forever live in my heart, and I will strive to make you proud.
Rest in the arms of Jesus, God’s faithful servant.




I miss you so much. Words aren't enough for me to say how much I love you and how much of an impact you’ve made in my walk to be a better version of myself both spiritually and mentally.
You’ve loved me since the day l was born and I love you forever.

Pastor Kech as you formly called, you were my mentor, role model, your teachings are too notch, I had a dream of this home going but didn't know is you. It's well, and his mercy endureth forever.
Our Mother In Israel 💕
Pastor Keith leaves On.
Otuomasirichi Okpoko
Up till this moment I am still trying hard to digest the announcement to no avail. I am also thinking that maybe I am dreaming and would sooner rather than later wake up from my nightmarish dream.
Pastor Kech was everything you need in a pastor and more. She was an epitome of divinity in humanity.
She was an incredible reference point for Christianity. She left behind her many enviable legacies worthy of upholding. She led an impactful life, impacting souls globally. Now, that's a successful life if you ask me.
She fought a good fight and kept the faith. Her life was a testament of a pastor who loved God and the people of God deeply.
She lived an exemplary and inspiring life worthy of emulation. Our enormous loss is heaven's great gain.
Farewell God's general, "our mother in Israel", adieu!

I will never forget your great words! Which brings great impact upon my life.
Rest in glory pastor kech ❤️
The undiluted word you shared and helped nurture fundamentally changed the trajectory positively for me and thousands of others.
As Jesus gives your family and the church the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss, am comforted in the reality of your finding peace and rest in the bossom of the LORD.

Pastor Kech wasn’t just a pastor; she was a mother in the faith, a voice of wisdom, and a pillar of strength. Through her words, she built our faith. Through her life, she showed us what it means to live for Christ with conviction, integrity, and grace. She loved with purity, taught with conviction, and lived with an unwavering passion for God’s Word. Her messages stirred hearts, her prayers carried power, and her example showed us what it truly means to walk closely with God.
Every moment spent under her ministry left a lasting imprint. She challenged us to grow deeper, to live purposefully, and to trust God completely. Through her grace, strength, and faith, she embodied the very truths she preached.
Her laughter was contagious, her wisdom profound, and her compassion unending. She believed in people, saw potential where others saw limitation, and spoke life into every situation.
Though we mourn her passing, we do so with gratitude – grateful for the years she gave, the lives she touched, the profound impact, and the legacy she leaves behind. Pastor Kech has finished her race, and heaven rejoices as one of God’s faithful servants comes home.
Her light continues to shine – in us, The Carpenter’s Church, in her messages, and in the countless lives transformed by her obedience and love.
Thank you, Pastor Kech, for giving your all to the One who gave you life. You will forever be in our hearts, and your legacy will live on.
Rest in glory, my beloved Pastor. You have fought the good fight. You have finished the race. You have kept the faith!

🙌
Pastor Kech,your sacrificial lifestyle was a great challenge and an inspiration to me. Your contributions to the Kingdom are colossal. In a time and age where many counterfeits abound ,your exemplary christian values, integrity,purity of motive and passionate comments to the flocks under your care showed me that you were a true servant of the Most high God.
As a mere mortal, I,m griefed,pained, devastated etc. But again, as a FAITHFUL believer, I'm STRONG and encouraged in accordance to pH:1:21!
Thank you for teaching and role modeling who we truly are in Christ.
I and my family missed you so dearly. You will always be Alive in our heart.
Godwin Lezorgiah and family.
