"It still feels so unreal. I’m in tears as I write this, but I choose to take comfort in the Word of God. I don’t think there are enough words to describe the impact you have made in my life, Pastor Sir. I met you in person for the first time at MCC4C in Ekpoma, and for the first time, I truly experienced the love of Christ through a man. You would always say, “People will never show you how much they know until you show them how much you care.” Thank you, Pastor Sir, for loving me specially. Thank you, Sir, for getting me my very first birthday cake and for helping me stand strong in faith when my brother passed away. You were there for me during some of the most difficult moments of my life. Whenever I faced a situation I couldn’t handle, you were the first person I reached out to, and yes, you were always there every single time. You were a father to me. You would always tell me that I have the seed of greatness inside me. You believed so much in me. Today, Papa, I am doing some of those big things you always told me I would do. And I know that, in some way, I am living proof of the investment you made in my life. Though your physical presence is no longer with us, your legacy, your words, your love, and the seeds you planted in me will continue to live on. More importantly, I find comfort in knowing that the investments you have made in my life are proof that you continue to live on in my heart. Heaven has gained this one. The last time we met was at IPPC, and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to hug you, Father, and see that beautiful smile on your face. I didn’t know it would be our last time, but I will forever cherish that moment. I love you, Father, and I will continue to make you proud. Till we meet again at the rapture. Your life was a blessing, your memory is a treasure, and your legacy will continue to live on."
"Even though I never got to meet him or know about him while he was here. The much I heard of him and still hearing give me so much peace know he fought a good fight of faith. He accomplished his purpose here on earth. Till we meet to path no more . Rest on soldier of Christ ..🥰🥰🥰🥰"

"The great work that Pastor Theo has done and his exceptional generosity will be a legacy for those he has left. We are grateful to God for his testimony."
"Dear Father, I've thought countlessly on the words to write. I've never imagined writing such words for you. Each day has been heavy on my heart. Each morning and night my heart hopes for a truly different news. I still check my phone waiting for your response, lols. Even now, i write with tears pouring down my face, laughter, smiles, a heavy heart, but a thankful spirit. My Father, no words can describe how i've felt this past month. My heart is heavy not because we do not have hope, no, we are the ones who know the hope of our calling. My heart is heavy instead, because i just truly miss you. I miss everything Papa. I miss your random calls and prayers. I miss your voice. I miss your stern correction. I miss the faith you so embodied and exuded. Truly I miss your presence. I miss my dear friend and father. "Tata" as you'll fondly call me. "My Tata". Ahh, my Father. For someone who honestly shied away from deep connections with people, I still wonder how you connected straight to my heart. You told me in your deep baritone voice; "Tata, God has put me into your life as the Father that He knows you've longed for". Those were the most honest words. Pastor Sir, you saw me, the young hurting girl, and you led me straight into strength, truth, love and faith. You saw through my walls and appearances. You gave me opportunities to serve in ministry. You assured me of my victory. You held my hand through the turbulent storms of life. You never complained, you gave your all. You gave your love, witholding nothing back. You taught, preached, lived and displayed the life & nature of excellence. I could talk about your wins and impact in the lives of thousands, but first, i'd talk about your impact in my life. When I could speak or call no one else, you gave me listening ears and comforting but uplifting words. You carried my matter on your head, literally, lols. You'd say; "let the world know you're my daughter". You were so determined to see my succeed, that I just had to believe failure would never be an option. Each time you'd call, after the laughter and gists, you'd ask; "so what are you up to now?, what new thing are you doing? What plans are you making? How can i come in? do you need my advice or support?" Thank you for loving me loudly and boldy. Thank you for leading me in the right path. Thank you for showing a version of faith, excellence, focus, and determination, such that I had never known. Thank you for being my father, the one the Lord knew i needed. You'll forever remain a good man, a righteous and just man who served with all his heart and capacity. I rejoice and delight today knowing you are happy in the presence of our Master. I can't lie, i'm jealous that they'd get to enjoy your jokes, stories, and zeal. But i know we'll be reunited again come the rapture of the church. My Father, the most excellent of them all. I miss you Papa. I love you now and always. Always & Forever. Forever & Now. - Your Tata (Peejay) Pst Judith Omoike"
