2023 has been tough to deal with with the passing of my Uncle Chief Godwin. The Patriarch of my Maternal home was blessed to see the new year but went on to be with the LORD on January 16, 2023. I thank God for his life and all the memories we've enjoyed in Nigeria and America! Chief Godwin Eberechukwu Onwumere was born on Oct 15, 1949 as Gabriel and Teresa's first son. Gabriel fought in WWII and died about 20 years later not long after having my Mother his last born. Chief Godwin looked after his sisters and took care of Mother Teresa while fighting in the Biafra War. By God's grace he survived the horrendous Nigerian Civil War and became a traveling welder recruiting workers from the community and made it into a successful Business! His house is the biggest in Ogboko Ideato South Orlu local government where everyone was welcome! Family videos and pictures from our trips to Nigeria captured his mansion of memories. His legacy continues with 8 living children and several grandchildren and plenty of nieces and nephews and their children including my twins who he held months after they were born. God has been gracious to us through him in many ways and I appreciate his liveliness and big heart! Rest well uncle until we meet again with all our beloved family members that have passed on. Praise GOD for prolonging your life with all the medical treatment you received in America!
We will never forget you!Before that my friend Robert Crayton committed suicide after killing his wife and 3 kids in early January. I heard this while I was on set and it grieved my soul. Here's the News Article!
Too many suicides are happening in America as of late DJ Twitch, The Green Ranger (Jason David Frank) and others. I was led to make a tiktok video in December of my testimony about having thoughts of suicide but being delivered from it by God. Jesus is the only answer to all of life's problems! Check it out:
The more I share my faith and family values the more fulfilled I feel. This year I was invited to a podcast talking about marriage:
Praise God for 6 years of marriage with my lovely wife! Time flies by and there are always challenges but through God we are overcomers!
My first Security Guard roll in a short film has tens of thousands of views on youtube after premiering just weeks ago! It was shot back in 2009 but one of the owners decided to resurface it on youtube recently and it's a hit:
Though the road is rough and filled with obstacles there's only one way to get through them and that's with Jesus! He has kept me more times than I can remember and I know prayer works! No matter what you're going through don't quit on yourself! Look to God for help and all those who call on Jesus will be saved!
2023 my business will be established in Jesus Name! Amen.
