An Open letter to Rev Joys Jacobs Tei Mati

An Open letter to Rev Joys Jacobs Tei Mati

Dear Sir,

I hope you are having your afternoon relaxation with a book as usual. At 75, it is hard to find you without a book.

The first time I heard you preach was at the Global Evangelical Church, English service in Hohoe. There is no way I can forget that message. The title alone spat fire: The Church in Crisis. Oh, you gave your heart out that day as you challenged us to mend our ways and go back to the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Amazingly, you had just retired as a Pastor of the church.

Since that time, I became drawn to you and your ministry. Though retired, I have seen that you are not tired when it comes to Jesus and His works.

Today, I want to celebrate you for so many reasons:

Firstly, you are good at associating with little beginnings. I remember when we started holding camp meetings as youths in Hohoe, you came to speak to us though we were few and the venue was not physically attractive.

When I was launching my first book, not only did you agree to write the forward, but you also came for the launch and paid for the first copies. Thank you.

When I was ordained a Pastor, you were the first to call me when we had not even left the venue of the event, and not only that, you accepted to come and preach at my ordination thanksgiving service.

Furthermore, there is no doubt that you believe in young people. I remember those days in Hohoe. You don’t consider the crowd; you will always show up. And whenever you showed up, you gave your best to us.

Sir, one thing I honour you for is your undying passion for Jesus. It shows in conversations with you. Your passion for Him and His will is palpable. Thank you for showing us that old age should not be synonymous with coldness towards the things of God and faint-heartedness.

To add to, you are always buried in a book whenever I come to see you. I live your home challenge to give my best. Indeed, you continue to show us that no one can outgrow knowledge and the need to learn.

Also, you have a touch of care. It’s always great to receive a call from you: “How are you doing? How is Isabel and the children? How is the ministry? May the Lord keep you strong. We appreciate you for your love and desire to see young people grow and do well in life.

Daddy you just turned 75, and you are 60 years old in following Jesus Christ. What a blessing! What a joy! You have survived a lot, seen a lot, and still following your master.

I celebrate you. In your own words, you were born to teach, trained to teach and called to teach. You have done that all your life and still doing it. I join so many people today to ask that the Lord will continue to grant you more strength. We are grateful to God for your life. Happy Birthday once again. May your physical and Spiritual offspring bring you joy untold.

Your Son,

Seth.

Amen.
