Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again – rejoice!

The Church of the Nazarene Trinidad and Tobago District joyously celebrated the life that was of the Rev. Hugh Mc Kenzie who had the distinction of being the first National District Superintendent (DS). Rev. Mc Kenzie died peacefully on Wednesday, 15th October, 2014.

​Rev.

Mc Kenzie also served as Chairman of NTC (CNC) Board of Trustees, District Evangelist, Youth camp Director, and Pastoral Counselor.

Rev. Mc Kenzie, known affectionately to all as Bro. Mac, was eulogized as a father, brother, friend, and confidante.  In his funeral sermon, the Rev. Tyrone Goddard saluted him as a Hero of the faith.  He told the congregation that a General had died, but our Commander in Chief still lives!
