The team at Faith2Share were very saddened to hear of the death of Rev. Dr. John Wesley in India yesterday.
John was a long-standing friend and supporter of Faith2Share, and served faithfully as one of our Trustees until earlier this year, when he stepped down following his diagnosis. Before that, he had served as General Secretary of the Indian Evangelical Mission, giving many years to strengthening the Church and encouraging others in mission.
We will remember John especially for his warmth, his wisdom and his genuine heart for people. He was a true friend to Faith2Share and to so many of us personally. His quiet encouragement and commitment to our work in Discipleship and Leadership consultations was invaluable. We fondly remember him hosting a Leadership Consultation in Bangalore back in 2016. It is particularly poignant that he shared a testimony to his enduring Christian faith in a video message as recently as 20 August.
We give thanks to God for Johnโs life and for all that he invested in others. Our thoughts and prayers are especially with his wife Mercy, their children and wider family, and with the IEM family at this time of deep loss. We will miss him, but give thanks for the friendship, wisdom and encouragement he shared with us over so many years.T
