Dr Sookhdeo spoke at a Christian student conference that I attended in, I think, 1985. His sermon made a deep impression on me. I am glad he has been exonerated of any wrong-doing. I’ve read several of his books and am currently reading “Lifting up the downcast”. – Beverley

Many years ago, when our ministry was still young, we had no office of our own and depended entirely on rented facilities. We had been praying and trusting God to provide a permanent place from which the ministry could operate and grow. It was during this season that God used Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo in a remarkable way to answer our prayers. Dr. Patrick visited our office together with the International Director of Sheepfold Ministries and asked us a simple question: “What do you need?” At the time, our immediate need was an office computer and printer, so that was what we mentioned. Dr. Patrick graciously offered to provide them. However, he sensed there was a deeper need and pressed further, asking, “What do you really need?” Our International Director then shared our vision and explained that what we truly needed was funds to enable us to break ground and begin construction of an office block. Through God’s provision and the generous support of Dr. Patrick and the Barnabas Fund, that need was met. Today, that office stands as a testimony to God’s faithfulness and to the impact of Dr. Patrick’s generosity and obedience to God’s leading. It has become the headquarters of our ministry and continues to serve as a base from which we reach unreached people groups, equip leaders, and advance the Gospel. We thank God for Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo’s life, vision, generosity, and willingness to respond when God called him to help. His investment has borne fruit far beyond what could have been imagined at the time, and countless lives have been touched because he chose to listen and obey. May the Lord richly bless him and may his legacy continue to inspire others to support God’s work with faith, courage, and generosity. – Esther Wambui

Dear Canon Patrick Sookhdeo, you’ll be missed more than words can say; Your memory will live on; Gone but never forgotten; Missing you already, but grateful for all we shared. You brought light to so many; May your soul rest in peace and love. Bishop of South Rwenzori Diocese, Uganda – Rt. Rev. Nason Baluku

On behalf of ITEEN, we thank God for the life and faithful ministry of Patrick Sookhdeo. His dedication to the Lord and his commitment to strengthening Christian ministries have left a legacy. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and the entire TBF Trust family, and pray that God’s comfort and peace will be with them during this time. Our prayers are with his family, friends, and the entire TBF Trust family during this time of loss. May they find comfort in the promise of Christ and in the assurance that Patrick has entered the presence of the Lord whom he faithfully served. – Suroj Shakya

We have counted it a privilege and a joy to be alongside Patrick, Rosemary and Caroline over these eventful years and to learn so much from their commitment vision and faithfulness to the call THE LORD gave them to HIS merciful Ministry of Barnabas Fund. We will press on and noting very especially –John 12 v 26–given to me I believe when I was told the day Patrick had passed into Glory to encourage us all. [ ‘Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honour the one who serves me’] What a wonderful Day it will be when we meet again! Meanwhile ‘ He will never leave us or forsake us ‘ and all the Glory will be HIS —Hallelujah! – Mary Cole
