Pastor Patrick was a dear friend who ran the church that Mustard Seed Songs\u2019 built in Southern Nigeria- a church they named after our musical \u2013 \u201cThe Risen Christ Central Chapel\u201d (R.C.C.C.) Pastor Patrick died of a stroke on Easter Sunday. He leaves a widow, Elizabeth and two adopted children. Elizabeth, who is also a Pastor, will continue the R.C.C.C, ministry.<br \/>\nAs part of Pastor Patrick\u2019s legacy, Mustard Seed Songs would like to provide water for the R.C.C.C. At present, even to flush the toilets we built, water has to be brought from the town in buckets. Our vision is for a borehole to be drilled and then a tank installed with piping leading to the R.C.C.C. and adjoining toilets.<br \/>\nIf you would like to support us in this vision, please visit<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/justgiving.com\/campaign\/MustardseedsongsPastorPatrick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/justgiving.com\/campaign\/MustardseedsongsPastorPatrick<\/a><br \/>\nHere you can also read Pastor Patrick\u2019s story in full.<br \/>\nMany thanks indeed<br \/>\nQuote of the week<br \/>\nAll you need is a mustard seed of faith and nothing is impossible<br \/>\nTaken from Matthew 17:20<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is with deep sadness that I write of the sudden death of Pastor Patrick Okoi.
