EULOGY FOR PAPA PS SIURA RAEPE

Greetings and God's peace be with us in such time of sorrow and great loss.

Good afternoon, respected leaders, pastors, immediate family members, church families, Fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters. I stand here today representing the Lutheran Renewal Church of PNG – National Church.

We have lost the very foundation of Lutheran Renewal — a beacon of hope, a leader raised in his prime, and a patriot with the zeal and confidence to break through the time of Lutheran dominion. His prayers were like a canopy over us. He was a man of unwavering faith.

At the appointed time, God called His faithful servant home. On *17th April 2026 at 3:00 pm at Angau General Hospital, Lae*, Papa Ps Siura Raepe answered that call and went to be with the Lord. His departure has left us broken, as if a part of our own body has been cut away. A chief member of our family has gone, and our hearts are heavy with grief. Yet we take comfort in God’s word: _“All things work together for the good of those who love Him.”_ The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Unlike other churches whose founders came from overseas, Lutheran Renewal is homegrown. The church spread across PNG like mushrooms after the rain, and God used faithful servants to establish it. We are privileged and honoured to have had such founding fathers. I personally had the privilege to see them, speak with them, and walk alongside them — fathers who gave me the strength to carry the fire for Jesus.

Papa Siura did not only pioneer this movement; he nurtured it, he fanned the flame, and became the agent of fire. He was truly the father of Lutheran Renewal. Just as God found favour with Mary in Jesus’ time, so the Holy Spirit found favour with fathers late like Papa Yuan Brooken, Rev. Henoma Ttopogoqo, Mama Ka, now late Papa Ps Siura Raepe, and few to name.

Papa Siura became the bridge that carried us to the other side

Today, I share this message with a heavy heart as I mourn the passing of my beloved father, grandfather, and a true pioneer of faith in Papua New Guinea, Pastor Siura Raepe of Kainantu Lutheran Renewal Church.
It was a great privilege to have spent quality time with him—moments I will forever treasure. He was not only a father to our family but a spiritual father to many, dedicating his life to serving God and uplifting others through his ministry.
His legacy of faith, humility, and leadership will continue to live on in the lives he touched and the church he helped build. Though he is no longer with us physically, his teachings and love remain deeply rooted in our hearts.
Rest in peace, Papa. Your work here is done, and your reward in heaven is great. You will always be remembered, honored, and loved.
My deepest condolences to all family members, relatives, and the church community during this time of sorrow. May God comfort us all.

With a heavy heart, I share this tribute to my beloved father, grandfather, and a true pioneer of faith in Papua New Guinea Lutheran Renewal Church and here in his own District Kainantu LRC, Pastor Siura Raepe .
This photo captures a special moment I was blessed to share with him—time that now means even more to me. Standing beside him, I felt the strength, wisdom, and humility of a man who dedicated his life to serving God and his people.
He was more than just a father to me—he was a guiding light, a mentor, and a spiritual leader to many. His legacy is deeply rooted in faith, love, and service, and it will continue to live on through the lives he touched.
Though our hearts are filled with sorrow, we are comforted knowing that his journey on earth has ended and he now rests in eternal peace.
Rest well, PAPA. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, and your legacy will never fade.
My sincere condolences to all our family, relatives, and the church community. May God give us strength and peace during this difficult time.
