“Yesterday, July 27, you were transferred to heaven immediately after I talked to you and held you for the last time and you handed over a different mantle to me. Though I know you are in heaven, the physical and emotional pain is too much,” Ms Wahome wrote.

“Even as you battled cancer this year (2019), I never heard you complain, all you said is God is a great and good.”

You taught me resilience,You taught me kingdom mysteries,You raised a kingdom giant in me!!! You released a grace for nations upon me,and nations and kings received me. Though we have walked a painful journey this year as you battled cancer, I never heard you complain a single time!!you said God is great and good all the time,and those were the words you uttered with your last breath Iam greatful to have spoken to you in your last minute,to have been there holding you,and to have had you pass on a mantle to me,before you crossed over. Rest in Paradise great revivalist. RIP Baba Esther wahome, as you preferred to be called. RIP EV. William Wahome Gikonyo.
