The Carpenter’s Church has announced the death of its presiding pastor, Pastor Mrs. Nkechi Chinyere Ene, describing her passing as “a great loss to the church and the body of Christ.”
In a statement signed by Pastor Sola Akinwale on behalf of the church leadership, Pastor Ene reportedly passed on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, shortly after returning from an extensive ministry trip marked by “miracles and testimonies.”
She suffered a sudden health crisis in Lagos soon after her arrival.
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing into glory of God’s servant, our presiding pastor, our mother-in-Israel, Pastor Nkechi Ene,” the church said.
“As our hearts hurt and questions assail our minds, we rest assured in the unwavering truth that God is good and His mercies endure forever.”
Pastor Ene was widely regarded as a passionate preacher and teacher, known for her unwavering faith, compassion, and devotion.
“She lived and believed the Word of God till the very end. She has now heard the words from her Master, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant,’” the statement added.
The church called on members and well-wishers to pray for strength for her family, including her husband, Brother Emeka Ene, and their daughters, Zoe, Chloe, Tracy, and Osi, as well as her mother, Ma Mercy Chijioke, and siblings.
“As a church family, we acknowledge that this is a very challenging time for us. At times like these, we must embrace, comfort, and encourage one another, starting with our pastor’s family,” the statement said.
The church expressed gratitude for Pastor Ene’s “excellent and productive life well lived” and highlighted her far-reaching influence.
“We honour and celebrate one of the great generals of God in our generation — one who lived and taught the undiluted Word of God, danced with the Holy Spirit, and by precept and example taught us to do the same. Her life was marked by faith in God, sacrificial service, and profound love for humanity,” Pastor Akinwale wrote.
“Though now absent from us, her impact and legacy endure in our hearts and in our lives. We celebrate God’s general, our mother-in-Israel, Pastor Mrs. Nkechinyere Ene. The Lord is good, and His mercies endure forever,” the statement concluded.
