Tribute to Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo
By Imran Salim Shahid, Executive Director, Board of Directors and Team of Shine Society, Islamabad – Pakistan
Every time I met with Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo, I loved him and his vision more and more and grew in faith and love. What a committed and faithful disciple of Jesus Christ filled with the Holy Spirit and blessed with the amazing grace, clear vision, love and compassion to serve the persecuted Church of Jesus Christ in the world!
A man of God and warrior of faith who loved God with all his heart, soul, and mind and made every possible effort to put his purified faith in action in every single moment of his life to share God’s love put in his heart through Jesus Christ, Good News and living hope with millions of people in need around the globe.
A servant leader with the mind of Christ who inspired and influenced a team of dedicated servants of God to wholeheartedly serve and burn their lives to seeking the good of all and entered in the eternal peace of God which passes all understanding to eternally dwell with our Triune God along with His holy people and saints.
We love you and commit to carry on your “Global Mission” to serve the persecuted Church and suffering communities. It was a wonderful experience for me to go through His hymns book “With the Eye of Faith” Meditation and Prayers and translate 18 hymns in Urdu and Punjabi and compose music and do the audio and video recording of 4 hymns and audio recording of 14 hymns. Going through this book helped me to deeply understand his prophetic knowledge about God and His chosen and suffering people. His hymn “Walk with me Jesus” (Yesu Chal Mere Sath – Urdu Translation) reflects his deep desire and expression of his inner feelings and emotions and his personal experiences of his Christian and professional life in this world.
Well Done Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo- A Warrior of Faith in Jesus Christ May the Peace and Love of God be always with dearest sister Rosemary Sookdeo and family, TBF Trust Board of Trustees, team, supporters and partners and friends. Be assured of our continued consoling prayers and love in these moments of great grief and sorrow.
Love and blessing
