Dear Brother Gary,
The news of Bro Cec's passing came to us with an initial deep sense of sadness but we remain thankful to God for his life and ministry.
Recently, Bro Ducille had talked to us many times of his desire to visit and spend sometime with us in Gabon this November. He had asked us to pray the Lord to allow him come. We have been earnestly looking forward to his visit and waiting to receive some documents which he had mailed earlier on to us but was strangely returned to him.
On Tuesday morning ( 0700hrs Central African time ) 20th October, Obi saw on the computer that Bro Cec appeared to have come online suddenly on Skype . He wanted to call him immediately to find out how things were with him but an inner voice immediately stopped asked him not to disturb bro Ducille but let him rest. He checked the time and saw it must be wee hours of the morning in America and Bro Cec must be asleep. It was later that we received the news that Bro Ducille slept in the Lord that same morning.
We remember him today and always. The example of Bro Ducille's desire to live and walk in the spirit as the scriptures demands at all times is something Obi and I discuss ever so often and strive to emulate. Our lives and that of many others have been greatly impacted and blessed by his ministry and work and we remain thankful to God for giving Bro Ducille. We will amongst many things also remember his last years for his earnest desire and prayer that the Church of God walk in the unity of the Spirit of God in Christ Jesus.
We ascribe praise and greatness to the Lord our God whose work is perfect and all His ways are just and true.
Obi and Chioma Okpoechi
Gamba. Gabon
