I was thinking about Dr Haggai last week! Empathizing with the HI family. Ever grateful to him for his influence on my life as well as thousands of others’.

Indeed, you came, you saw and you conquered. Dr John Edmund Haggai, your concept of ending Gospel poverty is a paradigm shift of the traditional approach of sending missionaries to foreign countries.

Thank you for investing in me and many other credible leaders in several countries around the world. You have not labored in vain because many souls are brought to the saving knowledge of Christ and these are your crowns of rejoicing.

Dear Dr Haggai, be assured that the task of soul winning remains at my front burner on daily basis. Sleep on my mentor and great leader. Very soon, we shall meet to part no more on the resurrection morning. Adieu dear Brother.

A great man and a great friend. John, I rejoice with you as you meet with Jesus, Christine and, Johnny. Great are your rewards!!

Today I celebrate the life of this great but simple leader who answered the Call of God on His life to end Gospel poverty. I am so grateful that through His vision and obedience to God I was able to become a trained leader strategically placed in Guyana ( South America) to carry on the vision of ” ending Gospel poverty ” as we carry this gospel to the uttermost parts of the world. I am confident there has been a selection in heaven of the person who will carry on this great commission and mandate. I stand ready to continue working with this team to end Gospel poverty. To God be the glory great things he has done.

It is quite humbling and at the same time exhilarating that a great man of John Haggai’s stature touched my life too. His vision for reaching the unreached millions in a country like India through the development and empowerment of local leaders is unique and unmatched. The impact will only be revealed in eternity. However; the power of the program he envisaged and implemented impeccably, has undoubtedly accentuated my passion for evangelism to make it my life’s top priority.
