Happy 50th Birthday, Papa (PK)!
Today, I celebrate and honor you Sir, my father, Pastor, mentor, teacher and shepherd whom God used to guide the direction of my life.
Since 2010, when I first encountered you on a Sunday Service, I walked into service at Jamz base(thanks to the okada man(motorcyclist) who claimed he knew the church my brother described at apple junction, just for me to realise that I was in another church but staring at the pastor my former neighbour was trying to invite me to attend at rochester gardens in festac, many years ago), you preached the message “Wired to Win,” my journey of faith, growth, and purpose took a new and meaningful turn. From that moment till now, I have remained blessed under your mentoring, leadership, teachings, and fatherly covering.
Papa, God truly gifted me, my husband, the house of DCC and the entire body of Christ with a man whose life continually gives, uplifts, and transforms others.
Your faith, humility, wisdom, and genuine love for people make you not only a great leader but also approachable and warm—a rare and precious combination. You carry greatness so simply, and your life consistently points us back to Christ.
At 50, your impact continues to multiply, and generations will keep reaping the fruits of your obedience and dedication to God's calling. My prayer is that God renews your strength, enlarges your influence, and fills your life with even greater joy, peace, and fulfillment. May the next season of your life be your most impactful and rewarding yet.
Thank you for being a father to many, including me. We celebrate you today and always.
Happy Golden Jubilee, Papa!
With love and gratitude.
