Bro. Cec left an indelible mark in our lives and we will ever miss him - Ada & Willie Ucheya, Lagos, Nigeria

Dear brother Gary,

Pa ducille, as my wife usually called him, meant so much to us as a family, my wife Ada and I and our children too that it is very difficult to adequately comment on his person.
In ministry life he taught us how to pursue with passion what he believed was of God. How to give ALL without reservation to God and His body for the work of ministry. Bro. Cec would make time for everybody and he listened to whatever one had to say. His humility in the midst of great and deep revelation of God and His plans touched us. He was always eager to receive ministry from a child once he discerns the Spirit in it. I remember speaking to him at the beginning of 2009 over the '2008 atomic war prophecy' and what I felt the Lord was saying, and he said,"Thank you brother, I have been greatly encouraged by this" He had such a childlike heart that always believed the best of everyone. He was always very eager to help in whichever way he could, financially and otherwise, that those who did not know much about him would think he had millions of dollars tucked away somewhere to back up every expression to help.
On family life, he and sister Mavis showed us a practical pattern of Godly marital relationship in which divine order reigned. There was such evident love and bonding that is beyond human outworking. We still remember some of the times they were here on a visit and he would after the stressful day's ministry, ask sister Mavis to just relax and rest while he gently and affectionately massaged her feet.

Bro. Cec left an indelible mark in our lives and we will ever miss him. We wished and hoped to have a great time of fellowship with him by next month's proposed visit. But God is sovereign and knows the best, so we submit to Him.
His home call is an opportunity for us who heard band studied him to now follow in his examples and run with the kingdom message. His departure has brought the church to a new phase of the work. The Lord help us.
