I could remember thousands of stories, which are treasured in my heart throughout the years. I had such a great pleasure to serve the Lord along with him as a young man, the way Joshua served the Lord along with Moses. I knew him well. I knew him in and out. I knew not only his house, office or a laptop but I knew his emails and his ATM cards pin-codes. I travelled all over India, while we were together with “ELLEL MINISTRIES INDIA”. I saw miracles and wonder working power of Christ through his life. He was truly a great man of faith.
I was pampered by him being a youngest adopted son (unofficially). I was brought into HOME (Shanti kunj), when I was struggling to survive physically and spiritually and was rejected and thrown out of Church and even from mission just as a raping paper. Literally, I was on a road. He picked me up, and “he put robe, he put ring on my finger and sandals on my feet, he cut the fattened goat and celebrate for this son of mine was lost and is found.”(Luke 15:11-32). He stood along with me when my legs were feeble. “I was hungry and he gave me food, I was thirsty and he gave me water, I was stranger and he welcomed me in his heart/home, I was naked and he clothed me, I was sick and he visited me, I was in a chained and he set me free” (Matthew 25:35). He loved me, as if I was his biological sons or a daughter.
He loved people, so he never missed any opportunity to share “GOOD NEWS,” because he believed people will go to hell without Jesus. HE LIVED WHAT HE BELIEVED. He was more careful not to miss out poor people through Gospel, because he knew Jesus had soft-corner for poor people. He did not miss out any opportunity to share Christ, though I was embarrassed many times due to his witnessing lifestyle. He finished his RACE WELL (Matthew 25:23). Now, BATTON is on my hand as his sons and daughters who has been adopted and touched by God through DAD (Eicher). He has left the legacy behind, for us to follow….. as he is leading us through the magical, mysterious, glorious door (death) right into the presence of our Father God, following our Lord Jesus Christ. We all have one opportunity since we have one life here on earth to make difference and leave legacy behind till we enter through that magical, mysterious and glorious door.
