A Nigerian missionary has died seven months after welcoming first children – a set of twins – in 23 years of marriage.

As shared by a businesswoman, Mrs Ibukun Awosika, who happens to be an elder in a Church, shared on her Instagram page the death of a respected Nigerian missionary, Mr Tony Abayomi Alder.

Mr Alder was blessed with a set of twins, all boys, but died seven months later.

She wrote;

“Tony Abayomi Alder. Who went to be with the Lord today 24/2/2020.

A most faithful, most diligent, most dedicated, most trustworthy and loyal member of my team at Christian Missionary Fund for the past 25 years.

“You became my brother and my friend as we sought to build an institution to serve the Lord through the support of the missionaries across the length and breadth of Nigeria. That you will be missed is an understatement.”

She added;

“I am grateful to God that, after waiting for 23 years, you witnessed the birth and enjoyed being a father to your twin boys, if only for 7 months. We truly love you but humbly submit to the will of God. May you forever be remembered for your cheerful service to the God you loved so much, your faithfulness as a husband to Toyin and your love of all around you.”
