His words: “The only way we can write our testimonial and be remembered is to leave good legacies. We are encouraged that Pere Kalama led a good life worthy of emulation.”

Earlier in his exhortation, Pastor of the Refined People’s Assembly, Ken Bitere, reminded the people of the inevitability of death and the need to positively impact on society and leave a good legacy.
Pastor Bitere urged the people to embrace Jesus Christ and positively touch the lives of others.
