The Local Church Pastor – my friend and colleague,

I remember you today because in the heart of every ECWA local church lies a custodian, an under shepherd of Jesus Christ whose dedication and commitment breathe life into the very essence of our ECWA community. That custodian is you. Your tireless efforts, unwavering faith, and steadfast leadership serve as the bedrock upon which our congregation stands.

Your hard work is not just seen; it is felt in every prayer uttered, every hand held, and every life touched within the walls of our church. You embody the spirit of service, pouring your heart and soul into ministering to the needs of those entrusted to your care.
But your role transcends mere pastoral duties. You are a ministry finance generator, stewarding the resources of our church with wisdom and discernment. Through your guidance, we are able to not only sustain our ministry but also extend our reach to those in need, both near and far.

Beyond finances, you are a grassroots instructor in matters of faith and practice, imparting the timeless truths of our faith to the next generation. Your teachings resonate deeply within our hearts, shaping us into disciples who walk boldly in the footsteps of Christ.

In a world where challenges abound, you remain a beacon of hope, illuminating the path forward with your unwavering faith and resilience. Your dedication inspires us to persevere in the face of adversity and to cling steadfastly to the promises of God.

As we journey together as a community, know that your labor is not in vain. Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed. Your love knows no bounds. Thank you for being the real custodian of ECWA, for your hard work, for your ministry finance generation, and for being a grassroots instructor in faith and practice.
May God continue to bless you and your family abundantly as you faithfully serve His people.
With deep gratitude and admiration,

Rev. Ayuba Asheshe,
ECWA General Secretary.
