“He understood the dynamics and urgency of reaching young people with the gospel, especially because of their fundamental role in the sustainable growth of the church of God.”

In his condolence message made available to The Guardian by the church’s Public Relations Director, Pastor Louis Chidi, Muoka said: “We understand how difficult it is to bear the loss of a loved one but we want you to take consolation in the fact that there is life after death and God being with you, the fortitude to bear the pain is assured.”
