Deeply indebted to God, for sending across a great influencer in my life , Dr John Edmund Haggai, about being a disciple of Jesus Christ, with a practical approach to Evangelism and leadership. My life personally was immensely blessed through Haggai ministries and Dr Haggai’s life and literatures have challenged me to have a better outlook. His stewardship outlook has challenged me a lot. Thanks God for an example of his stature.

There are not enough words to express my gratitude to the Lord for Dr. John E. Haggai. Long years ago I met him here in my city (Santa Cruz-Bolivia) and it was so encouraging to see his commitment to sharing the Gospel everywhere. I had no idea until that time that I would be trained at Haggai Institute to do the same. His life has been an example to follow to me, honoring God and take Jesus’ last command as my first concern.
I praise God for Dr. John and give to Him thanks because I am one of the thousands that had the privilege of being part of this family, Haggai Family Alumni.
Blessings and comfort to the relatives and all the Haggai family.

I did not have the opportunity to meet him personally as I hoped during our international Seminar in Singapore 2006. But his life, his vision, his passion, his zeal for cross-cultural and culture-context evangelism was felt by us. I was glad to at least see his face during our Alumi congress in Lagos 2013.

He would be missed but he had gone to glory. May the ideals for which he lived and died live longer, till Christ returns.

Hallelujah!

Dr. John Edmund Haggai, I am so grateful for your life, you were the trigger for my ministry to start. Today I am attempting something so great for God, that is growing exponentially because He is in it. Thank you for what you sowed in me, you passed me the baton and I will continue tirelessly to end the Gospel Poverty in my Nation. You will be forever remembered.

I met Dr. John Haggai in the summer of 1960 when he came to Natchitoches, Louisiana to preach a City Wide Crusade, where I was the Crusade Coordinator. I had just returned from active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps. I was invited from time to time to come help in the advance preparation of City Wide Crusades wherever Dr. Haggai was preaching. In 1967 I joined the team Full time as Administrator, and in 1968 we did a City Wide Crusade in Djakarta, Indonesia. That lead to the recognition of a need. Many indigenous leaders were ready and willing with some divine leadership training — they became the World’s Largest and Most Effective Evangelistic Force ever created. Dr. John Haggai had this vision, this commitment and the results are on going. What a life, What a Blessing!
I am honored to have been a small part of such a Wonderful and such an Awesome God Inspired Mission. Many Souls are in heaven because of Dr. John Edmund Haggai!
