Most incredible spiritual Father, your love for Christ is an example to all of us. You truly lead by example, your kindness ,humble life and passion for Christ will forever be remembered. “Blessed always be the road which you travel on today , as it is prepared for you a place of eternal rest” , May your memory be internal ,RIP our beloved bishop and brother in Christ.
May his soul rest in eternal peace. Big loss for brothers and sisters in Christ in Uganda and Kenya.
Memory Eternal!
So, so, so sad, more so that he has left us in the struggle. Everytime an elder ‘passes on’, it is important for us to reflect on “that which he actually passes on? – RESPONSIBILITY. And as a pastor, we should even worry more of ourselves that he has tasked us so early. In my view, he has done much of what he needed to, but shall we afford to make his (our Orthodox) team not to lose the race? That is our challenge, not his now! RIP your Grace.
May you rest in peace ,go and continue servicing with the Angels too, till we meet again,Rest in eternal peace
