Renowned preacher Stanley Carmel has showered his wife, Reverend Lucy Natasha, with heartfelt praise, days after temporarily closing her physical church.
Taking to his official Instagram account on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, Carmel described her as a rare balance of strength, wisdom, and grace.
The preacher also praised Natasha for being a devoted wife and a leader with authority.
“My baby Tasha, I have watched you become a visionary with depth, a powerhouse with wisdom, and a leader with authority while still carrying the tender, beautiful heart of a devoted wife,” Carmel wrote.
“That balance is rare. That grace is priceless.”
He further highlights Natasha’s role in his life, calling her his peace and expressing daily gratitude not only for what she does, but for who she is.
Carmel also acknowledged the couple’s shared ministry.
“You are my covering in prayer, my peace in pressure, and my joy in every season. Truly, you are God’s priceless gift to my life. Every day I’m grateful, not just for what you do, but for who you are,” he added.
“Me and Empowerment Nation love you deeply. The next dimension excites me!! This season is a holy transition, and heaven is moving with us.”
Through his words, Carmel not only honours Natasha but also encourages couples to cherish and uplift each other in both ministry and life.
Natasha’s church
This comes after the Empowerment Christian Church (ECC) founder announced the indefinite closure of her physical church services due to venue-related challenges.
In a statement shared with members of Empowerment Nation on Saturday, January 10, 2026, the popular televangelist announced that, starting Sunday, January 11, 2026, congregants would no longer gather at the Biashara Plaza Rooftop, which has been the church’s physical meeting place.
“Due to venue challenges, starting this Sunday, the 11th, we shall not be gathering at Biashara Plaza Rooftop,” she announced.
Reverend Lucy Natasha clarified that all church services will now continue exclusively online until further notice.
She called on members of Empowerment Nation to stand with the church in prayer during the transition period, expressing faith that they will soon move into what she described as a “God-ordained space”.
“Please stand with us in prayer as we transition toward our own God-ordained space. Let’s stay connected,” she said.
