A wonderful mother, grandmother, teacher, adviser - The Ojode Family

Hi Br. Cecil,

We herein pour out our heart to you as we offer our tribute to Sis. Mavis.

We loved Si,s. Mavis, but God loves her more that is why he has taken His beloved home to rest. We, the Ojodes, thank God for giving Mavis a full physical life of over four decades and a full spiritual life of basking daily in His presence. Our interaction with Sister Mavis, both here in the USA and in the mission field, Kenya, was always a transforming experience. The aroma of being a wonderful mother, grandmother, teacher, adviser; but above all her unconditional love, patience, understanding, dedication to God and the body of Christ, never left us the same. Most of the Ministers of the gospel in Kenya who interacted with Sis. Mavis sensed an unusual presence of the Holy Spirit. We can confidently conclude that Mavis went home full of the Holy Spirit and has been granted an abundance entrance into God's presence.

BYE MAVIS, BYE GRANDMA!
You fought a good fight,
You have kept the faith,
You have finished the race,
May the name of the Lord be exalted.
(2 Tim 4:7)
AMEN

AS for you Br. Cecil, here is our prayer:
Father, heal Br. Cecil's heart of any grief caused by the passing on of his beloved wife, Sis. Mavis: a partner of over six decades, an unwavering supporter in ministry, and a true intercessor. Enable Br. Cecil's soul to march on in strength (judges 15:21). Bestow on Br. Cecil a crown of beauty instead of ashes and anoint him with the oil of gladness instead of mourning. Clothe Br. Cecil with a garment of praise. May Cecil continue, as he has always done, to be a pillar of righteousness, a planting of the Lord to display the splendor of the Messiah (Eph. 4:32; Is. 61:3).
AMEN!
