Pastor J,

You will always be on my mind. I remember two years ago, after wishing you happy birthday and we talked about your birthday dinner, the next day you could not talk to anyone anymore. The Lord is still giving us strength to carry on.

We cannot for one moment believe that it is already a year since you transitioned. The wound is still very fresh, but we believe that you are happy where you are and looking over us from day to day. Ma Esther cannot forget the good times and thinks of you and prays for you. What else can we mortals say other than to thank the almighty for the short time you had with us. May your journey be made easy until we meet again.

We the Pemexans of WMA, and Pemexa USA, were privileged to dedicate a respectable minute of silence for you, our founding father during our recent past Pemexan convention at the Hilton Hotel here in Gaithersburg, Maryland between June 5-7, 2015. This was a convention dedicated to your honor.

Akere for Pemexa

Wow, I can't believe it been a year now.

Pastor Jackson, you practically changed my life. You ignited a fire in me for the Lord and I can proudly say today for your legacy that the fire just keep burning in me. I know it is taking me somewhere, I may not know where, but I am convinced it is really big.

I used to assist Pastor Jackson in the discipleship classes. He had asked me to consider taking the responsibility of teaching the class and he assured me that that he was going to be there to support me until I felt comfortable. I kept postponing and never got back to him.

Pastor Jackson, I am happy to report that I am teaching that class as you had recommended. I do not procrastinate when it comes to the things of God now. That is a lesson that I learnt through this experience.

Thank you Pastor Jackson, for lifting the veil from my eyes.

Wow! I can only say, “It is well”. I would never have imagined that these were our last moments: we went jogging, played tennis, and as usual you patiently sat in the car while l spent all the time in the store shopping, we cleaned the house, you cut the grass and even cut the neighbors’, we took you out for dinner for your birthday. The following morning 6am you woke up your prayer team, you led prayers and l even begged you to make it less than an hour so we could prepare for church; I didn’t give you a hug when l was leaving for rehearsal. You waved at me with your headset on preparing your message. If l had a clue you will even end up in the hospital I would have given you a hug and reminded you how much l love you. What would have happened to me if l didn’t have God in my life? I would have sink in depression and followed you and left the kids to fend for themselves.

I prayed, exercised all the faith l had those three weeks you were in the hospital thinking you will get well and come back home. God gave me peace in the midst of the storm when I did not know what the hospital would call and say. It was a very hard road to travel. I will never wish any woman who does not know God and does not have the support of a believing church to go through this kind of experience. It is very hard, but God gives heavenly peace those you depend on him.

I have stopped weeping for you because l know for sure where you are. You gave your all to God. I heard you cry and pray for your close friends and your family to know the Lord. Their salvation is something you presented before God daily. You served God and you finished your race. Like Jesus told the women who wept to weep for themselves. I weep for myself. I also want to make it to eternity. I want to see you again. I want to meet you and tell you what l did with your legacy and how l allowed God to use me. The bible says that the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. I will continue even if l breakdown sometimes because l miss you.

I now have to live as a single mother and check the box that says ‘widow’ every time I fill out such forms. This is all to the glory of God. Life continues. Just as you grew without your mother from age 7; God sent people, mothers, and fathers to love you and raise you. God will do the same for our kids. God has them. God is with us. God will be dad, covering and provider for us until we meet again. I will always love you.

To the entire Atanga's family:
May the good Lord grant you all the courage and strength you need to go through such loss and grief.
A human life is a story told by God and to live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die.
While you are mourning this loss, keep trusting in God.
Amama my dear friend, pls take heart and be strong.
GOD BLESS AND CONSOLE YOU ALL

My dear Pastor Jack,

I remember the last day we spoke on 6/21/14. Wow! We had a SPA date set for the following Saturday, 6/28/14. I was deeply saddened on 6/22/14 when the incident which led to your passing away occurred. I always believe that with FAITH and PRAYERS, we can move mountains. Pastor Jack, we prayed, we fasted and just believed that you were going to get well and return to us. You passed on to Glory with our Lord Jesus Christ. God always has the final say in every situation in this life. In your situation, God made the best decision. Glory on to His Name.

Your voice still echoes in my ears advising all Christians to change as we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior and to live life in abundance in Jesus. I will always remember our favorite verse in the Bible: 2 Corinthians 5:17-“If anyone is in Christ, She/he is a new creation. The old is gone, the new has come.”  Pastor J, you encouraged us every day to fill up all the job vacancies in the house of God. You told us that we should all be involved in the vision of BDI, reaching seven thousand families.

You always advised me that in the house of God, no one should be a spectator or a stranger. Simply find where you fit in and fit yourself in so that we can build God’s Kingdom together as his children. Pastor J, we spoke with each other almost every day. This became a habit until some days I would mistakenly dial your number while trying to reach another church member. Pastor Jack, I miss you a lot especially your gentle talking, your smile and encouraging words of wisdom. You were so determined for the things of the kingdom. I can and will live by your example. Pastor J, we love you so much but God loves you more.
 
Pastor J, rest in absolute peace until we meet to part no more.

Losing a loved one unexpectedly is especially troubling. And let us not blame someone why he had to go. Everything happens for a good and better reason. Let’s be optimistic enough to have the faith, courage and hope to stand up and rise again. With this experience I guess, it will mold all of us into better persons.  In life, we win, we lose; we fail; we succeed; we rise, we fall; we laugh; we cry; we live; we die. It takes much soul searching to accept it when death comes totally unexpectedly.
May the good Lord grant you Eternal Rest.
RIP

Pastor Jackson Atanga’s Going Away Journey

Jesus Christ, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit are jubilant as they receive a man whose life was well spent on Earth.
Alarming, saddened, confused, and astonished, we your loved ones are about your premature death.
Cheerful man of God you were, as you emulated Christ through the "New Member" class teachings.
Kindhearted man, who served God at Better Days International through his preachings,
Singing and shouting praises to the Lord, the angels and Jesus Christ are, as you entered heaven.
On July 12th, Jesus Christ and God received you with open arms; this was a given!
Nobody should question God's decision to call you into his bosom.

Funny jokes that made us laugh, were one of the ways you used to connect with us at Better Days International.
Our Pastor Jackson Fonocho Atanga was very sensational.
Nurturing and amazing father he was to his biological children, as well as to his other children of Better Days International.
Observing and noticing your relationship with your brother ,Wilfred Atanga, thought me the lesson that sibling bond is exceptional.
Caring and warm-hearted you were to your wife and that gave me the desire to wish for my own special "pastor husband".
Humble and of a gentle disposition you were because you never bragged about lending a helping hand.
Oh Lord! We will miss you! We can never forget your lessons and sermons.

Appealing to God to give you more years on Earth, we your love ones presented him summons.
Thanking God for your life we are, although our expectations were not met.
Agreeably we can say that you left an impression we can never forget!
Noble man of God, rising bishop, friend of prestigious pastors, we shall see you in paradise!
Genuinely let us not ask what did he gain, but let us ask what did he sacrifice.
And finally, let us not dwell on how Pastor Jackson died but let us be consoled with the bible verse of Ecclesiastes 3:2 which says, "Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses. He sets the time for birth and the time for death, the time for planting and the time for pulling up.” Pastor Jackson Atanga may your soul rest in perfect peace.

With love,
your daughter Cynthia Njafuh

Pastor Daddy Jack, I have lit a candle for you. Who could have thought it would happen this way? Unbelievable the way you just left. All I can picture is how you did your last young converts class, dance through your last praise and worship and made your last but usual announcement 'In Better Days your days only get better". From that pulpit, you never went home again. That was it, you disappeared like Elija. Thank you for everything and for calling me a few hours to your departure. I will miss you but I thank God we spent the best of moments and for the privilege of being pampered and mentored by you. Adieu! humble servant of God. Your wife sang "We have Won" You indeed have won, BRAVO!!!

Leaving your service today I am saddened that you are not able to see or hear the incredible impact you've made on many.

In our thoughts , in our words, in what we will do, you will forever be a shinning example for others to aspire.

I will more than miss you. Work @ CFSA brought us together, originating from the motherland gave us a common purpose, and until we meet again thank you for the incredible moments and mutual success.

RIP

Jackson knew we appeared on Earth as separate beings with diverse destinies; but as each separate raindrop is a part of the sea, so are we each a part of the Ocean of Awareness, the Body of God.
Jackson found love and inner peace deep within the highest truth that we are all one Family. He was a true family man before and after becoming his late Father’s successor.
He left behind the baggage of fear, envy and resentment; flew aloft on wings of understanding, to enter the boundless land of compassion. He was kind to everyone he met whether family or not, young or old, rich or poor.
Jackson knew integrity meant living and acting in alignment with spiritual laws and with his highest vision, despite impulses to the contrary. From the heart of integrity, he recognized, accepted and expressed his authentic interior reality, inspiring others not with words but by his action.
Jackson was a brother any soul on earth will love to have and we were blessed. It’s painful to think you are gone so soon and so young but we have gained so much from you. Salute your Mum and Dad of blessed memory. Peace my brother.

know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain

Go rest high on that mountain
‘Cause, Son, your work on earth is done
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
And gathered round your family to grieve
Wish I could see the angels’ faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

Go rest high on that mountain
‘Cause, Son, your work on earth is done
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

Brother Jack, I am so filled with anger! Everytime we met you always inquired about me and my home, you always had a word of advice and we always discussed religion and God. Today I realise just how selfish I was and how I took some things for granted. I pray you are happier were you are. May the Lord embrace you as you did many here on earth.

Weh, Uncle Jackson, your leaving us all truly reminds me of how fickle life is. Most importantly, it reminds me and hopefully all of us to always remember to check in on each other. I apologize for not doing that well enough. You were always so soft-spoken and such a warm uncle. The Banyong Fonyam Family and Nkemta family mourn your loss as well. May the good Lord keep you safe in his bossom and then turn around and console aunty Doris, your lovely children and all the other truly close family and friends you left behind. We all loved you but God loved you more. Rest in Peace uncle Jackson Atanga.

It is a great loss for the family, the Christian community and our community at large. You departed while doing what our GOD called you to do and I believe you are with our LORD. You will be tremendously missed as you left us so early with forever unanswered questions. May our LORD strengthen the family. Rest in PEACE.

“Pacome I don’t yell at you because I hate you but rather because you are the oldest,you have to lead and show shakeen,banyong,koffi,Jason and the others,you are their older brother,they have to see the example from you because much is expected from you.”That is what my father would always tell me when something wasn’t rightly done at home.I haven’t had someone I could call a dad but uncle Jackson was my father but most of all he was my role model.Seeing that he is gone today makes me feel so sad.i have cried and mourned,but today when I think of him I say with Pride.‘He fought the good fight till the end’.I am proud to call him my father for with certainty I say there is no man like him in the family.I could right stories and the wonderfull things my father has done but it will not be necessary for we all know the kind of a man he was.So,this is what I am assuring him”Daddy I promise to look over my younger ones and continue to show them the light as you did me.i will serve as a model for my younger ones so they will become charismatic,devoted,accomplished,fatherly and most of all Godfearing like you were.”Thank you for being such a blessing to the lives of many.Rest in Perfect Peace father

Jackson I will forever hold those fun memories of you as we grew up in our lovely neighborhood in Gardens Limbe.

I am honored to have been impacted by you and to have had you as my pastor. Ephesians 4:4-12 says, And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists and some as pastors and teachers for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ.
I am thankful to our God that you fit that description. By this, I know that it was God who led you to Better Days International and it is God who kept you there.
On Sundays during the announcements you fondly say “if you are here in Better Days International, then your days are already better.

One of your favorite verse was: Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches;….

I have so many memories and lovely moments with you but a few stand out:

I remember when I just came to BDI, in one of my interactions with you; I asked whether there was a way that I could read and understand the word? Then during the Christmas of that year, I received a gift from the Atanga family. It was a book titled: Adventuring through the Bible by Ray Stedman. Inside the cover of the book was written “Merry Christmas! May the light of Christ be all over you as you enter into the 3rd prophetic year with the word of God? This is so true of Pastor Jackson: always listening and figuring out how he could be of help leading anyone to the Lord. I had no idea then how strong that light of Christ will hit me

During the preparation for Foundation classes, I assisted you in putting it together, you had asked me to take over the responsibility of teaching the foundation class, so that you can tackle other activities in other ministries; I resisted but you forged ahead teaching the foundation classes. I guess now I get the message.

You also gave me some Bible verses to be meditating on:
There were seven areas and in each area you recommended three verses. It is now dawning on me that there was a message in these recommendations. It is very clear to me that these numbers 7 and 3 biblically means something. I am praying for the message to be revealed to me.

The areas were:

1. Prayer

Philippians 4:6 - Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Pray without ceasing.

Mark 11:24 - Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].

2. Appreciation

Psalms 37:23 - The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way

1 Thessalonians 1:3 - Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father.

1 Corinthians 2:9 - But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

3.  Hope

Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Isaiah 41:10 - Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

4. Forgiveness

Mark 11:25 - And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

1 Corinthians 10:13 - There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].

5. Healing

Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God

Isaiah 41:10 - Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Isaiah 53:5 - But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6. Fear

2 Timothy 1:7 - For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Isaiah 41:10 - Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Proverbs 1:7 - The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.

7. Strength

Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Deuteronomy 20:4 - For the LORD your God [is] he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

Thank you, Pastor for allowing the Lord to use you to do great things before going to meet him. We love you and I pledge to keep the flame you ignited in me burning and to keep your legacy.

Our beloved Doris, Since we heard of your husband's illness and eventual passing to eternity, we your coworkers at Metro Homes have had heavy hearts as we experience this vacuum at work. We have prayed and continue to pray for God's spirit to guide you at this inexplicable moment of your life.  It all came like a dream but when reality really sets in, always count on the Almighty, family and friends. We pray that as each day breaks, you will gather strength to face the next day with the Lord being by you every step of the way. Remember as R.E.M. sings in his song, 'Everybody hurts", just know that if you think you have had too much of this life.....Hold on....Hold on and always look up to the Almighty for that strength to really hold on. Above all, Jackson is in a better place as we all know. Yes, he went too soon but be reminded that we do not question why it happened. The village he left behind will rally around you and the children to make it happen, in Jesus' name. May Jackson rest in absolute peace with his maker.

God will always BLESS you and the children.

Daddy Jackson you have always been a man of peace and one who was always caring. You were selfless and wanted good for everyone. Remembering your nephews name "JASON" came from you. You took Jason, Kofi and Tebeng like your biological children. One could never tell the how many kids you had. The kids always wanted to go to uncle's house to spend the weekend and the holidays. They were always looking forward coming home to be with you . You will always be missed. I have grown to know you as a man of your words, caring, dedicated and above all serving God with passion. I saw you grow from glory to glory in your walk with God. Rest in peace . This one thing i know you are resting with the Lord. Let your legacy continue. Will always miss you. Shalom and adieu
July 28, 2014
Dear Jackson Atanga family, church members, co-workers, and friends, the loss is felt keenly.   Words can not express what I wish to say.  A spiritual hug and a whispered prayer for comforting during these difficult days ahead is sent your way.  


You always had a gentle smile for me as we passed each other in the hallway at CFSA.  You were quite the go-to guy whenever I had PC issues.  If you couldnt do it, you made sure that I had assistance. 

When I heard of your passing, I couldnt believe it.  I thought of your family; your wife, kids, and extended family members who will miss their beloved husband. chereished father, and loved family member.  

As I was reading through the condolence notes left by others  I began to see the big impact that you, Jackson, made on others.  We may not feel but can see the rippling effect like a pebble being dropped in a still pool of water.

Prayers are with you during this difficult time.  May God be with you all.

Jackson, when I heard the news about you being sick and then your homegoing, I am completely speechless. We were co-workers at Child and Family Services Agency . You made sure that the Mayor's Services Liaison Office always had what was needed. You will be miss. God continue to be with your family at this time of loss. God always knows best and God will always have the final say.

Mr. Atanga or Jackson as I always called him. He was a great guy, a wonderful human being and a great friend. I was very stressed when I heard the news of his passing. I know he is in a better place and hanging with the angels. You will be missed my friend. May you rest in Peace, and to the family; May God comfort you all and give you strength to get through this sad time. Joy comes in the morning.

JACKSON…aka “Trouble”, that’s what we call one-another each time we was each other. Hey Trouble, how you doing today? Funny, we were schedule to be in a meeting on Wednesday, you said you knew nothing about and told me you were too busy. You often told me “I’m only one person, with thousands of things to do,” and I would ask, “What can I do to help.” Lord, knows I will truly miss you. I remember like yesterday, but it was actually about two years ago, you came in my office, put a CD down on my desk and said give me $10.00. It was a CD your wife had recorded. It has been inspirational to me, but I never had a chance to tell you so. Trouble, thanks for helping me whenever I asked. Thanks for your gentle sprit and Thanks for listening to me during my troubled times. You were appreciated for all you’ve done. God’s blessing on your family during this time. Ephesians 3:19

To the Jackson Atanga family: No words can express the pain you must go through at this time. Only the Lord and time can help during this time. I am still in disbelief that Jackson is gone and will miss so much. He was one of the kindest and nicest person I ever met and always helped me out with any computer issues. Will miss you Jackson

Maya Angelou once said, “A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again”. Big “Brutha” Jackson, I can’t believe you will NEVER stop in my office (OYE) again! My heart goes out to your family and loved ones.Romans 8:28 —And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. I AM SPEECHLESS! REST IN PEACE BIG BROTHER JACKSON. I will truly missed our African’s peps talk!

I am yet to believe that you are no more. You and I met at a cook-out last month in Silver Spring. We had a conversation, joked and laughed together as we always do when we meet. Little did I know that, it would be my last conversation with you. You will be dearly missed. May you rest in peace and my condolence to Doris, Wilfred, Elise, Estella and the rest of the family. We are comforted by the fact that you are in a better place. Rest in peace my dear brother.

Mr. Jackson,.....We had so many plans. The earliest was that we meet on July 4th this year and spend some quality family time together as we did last year! But God surely had better plans for you. It is hard for me to believe you are gone especially so young. I take strength from the memories of all the good teachable times we had growing up! There is no one in the family who can bring people together as you did. You made our world much better before your departure. We will miss you Jack! Adieu! R.I.P".

Brother Jackson....i really lack words to express my feelings and yet i can't stop crying each time my mind flashes on you. When you laid sick in hospital we prayed for your recovery, but the Lord Almighty had decided which path his servant was to follow. We wanted you alive, but the ways of our Lord and God are different from our ways and we can't question the decisions of our Almighty because its final. You will be sorely missed!! Safe journey as you join the Angels up there to watch over us down here. Adieu brother...it is well with your soul in Jesus Name...Amen!!!

It was with great sadness that Elise called to say Jackson had collapsed in church. We rushed to the hospital and upon seeing Jackson, I knew his condition was critical. My heart bleeds for Elise. I met with Jackson once at Estella's house but from when I met Elise, the name Jackson was always on her lips. I don't know how she is going live without her Jackson. My heart also bleeds for Doris, the wife. Except you have been there, you cannot understand her pain. I was there before. Doris, in my case, I believed in Psalms 68 especially verse 5 and TIME did the rest of the work. May the soul of Jackson rest in peace. Accept my heartfelt condolences.

Every time spent in your company and all your wise words will be forever cherished. PWMA misses you. Rest In Peace. I know you will because I know you rest with the Lord. Ma Do, may God comfort you and the kids. Amen

As i was visiting my page on Facebook i saw the photo of this young and handsome man and i quickly recognised it was the photo of my brother Jackson. As i read the messages posted below i realised that Jackson is gone. I did not believe the story but i called home to my wife who later confirmed the story i read. Dead how cruel you are?
I once said to myself that this is a misfortune in the family but when i go down to his life and achievements i saw that Jackson has left behind a legacy for us to folllow. We love him with all our hearts but God loves him most. Let us stay focus and copy from his good examples rather than asking questions. Jacko were ever you are may your soul rest in perfect peace.

To the Atanga family. No words can describe what the passing to greater heights of Jackson means to us all. At this terrible time we pray that you all stay strong knowing that only the best are called first. The maker must be pleased to have the best closest to him.

Pastor J,

You will always be on my mind. I remember two years ago, after wishing you happy birthday and we talked about your birthday dinner, the next day you could not talk to anyone anymore. The Lord is still giving us strength to carry on.

We cannot for one moment believe that it is already a year since you transitioned. The wound is still very fresh, but we believe that you are happy where you are and looking over us from day to day. Ma Esther cannot forget the good times and thinks of you and prays for you. What else can we mortals say other than to thank the almighty for the short time you had with us. May your journey be made easy until we meet again.

Daddy Jack,

It's hard to believe that you are gone. I last heard your voice on your Birthday and that was it. It's a year since the painful journey started, the tears have never dried up. Crying you a river will never bring you back but the work you left behind is speaking for you. 

Even though I miss you here on earth, my comfort is that you left in an amazing way to a place that God kept for you.  Your steadfastness has taken you through the "eye of the needle" 

Will always miss you till the day I shall meet to part no more.

Forever DJ

Happy Birthday Jack!

June 20, 2015

It has been a year since I got the news of your sudden collapse in Church. We hoped for the best but God had a better plan. You moved on to continue to do God's work; what you loved and what he ordained you for. Jack, memories of our times together are still very fresh in my mind and your wise words continue to uplift my spirit during difficult times. You were a real brother! 

You are close to our hearts as we celebrate your birthday.

Happy Birthday, Bro!

My dear Brother and Friend, it's incredible how your early departure broke our hearts and left us with more questions than answers. However, we are comforted in knowing that you left an amazing legacy and you exited doing The Lord's Work. Happy Birthday!!!
