A SPIRITUAL GIANT SLEEPS
In local parlance, “An Iroko has fallen…”
It feels just like the other day we were together, celebrating God’s faithfulness in your life at your 80th birthday. Since receiving the news of your passing into glory it has been difficult to grasp and come to terms with.
Yet, we are comforted by the truth that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Your impact on the lives of multitudes can never be overstated. Countless lives and testimonies bear witness to the fruitfulness of your life and ministry.
You served the Lord wholeheartedly till your very last breath, and I believe you’ve now heard those precious words: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Uma, now you rest in the bosom of the Lord. Till we meet again at the Master’s feet.
-BISHOP Mike Okonkwo
