It is with deep sadness that we have learned of the passing of another great pillar of the COC movement, Late Assistant Pastor Jacob Isreal Oresi.
Late Assistant Pastor Jacob faithfully served alongside Pastor James Kera at New Beginning COC Church, dedicating his life to the work of God and the advancement of His Kingdom. His faithful service, humility, and commitment to the Gospel will always be remembered.
To all of us here in Port Moresby, let us stand together in love and unity with the New Beginning COC Church and the immediate family during this time of sorrow. Let us uphold them in our prayers, encourage them with our presence, and support them as they mourn the loss of a beloved servant of God.
Our heartfelt condolences go to Pastor James Kera, the New Beginning COC Church family, and the bereaved family of Late Assistant Pastor Jacob Isreal Oresi.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." β Matthew 5:4
May the Lord grant him eternal rest and give strength, peace, and comfort to all who grieve.
Rest in the presence of the Lord, Late Assistant Pastor Jacob Isreal Oresi. You have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.
