The late Dr J S Devaraj went to be with
the Lord on 16th Oct 1999. He fought a good fight, finished the
race, kept the faith and left behind a legacy. In memory of our
beloved brother, we append below the following tributes:
We remember him as a man:
| 1. |
Dr Peter
Tong, National President
who is a true saint of God,
faithful and meek and literally died serving God.
|
| 2. |
Bro Loh Poh Seng, Northern Regional Director
whose heart is sold out to Jesus
as could be evidenced by the fact that he wouldnever say no to any
invitation to preach the Word of God – it was God’s power
which totally transformed Bro Devaraj from a Christian whose
experiences with God were merely in occupying some important posts
in the Church and denomination hierarchy to one who believed as
the Apostle Paul put it “to live is Christ and to die is gain”
– who has a special burden to see more Indian chapters set up in
the country.
|
| 3. |
Bro Lee Gee Koon, Central Regional Director
of faithfulness, integrity and
commitment.
|
| 4. |
Bro.Johnny
Tan, Sarawak Regional Director
of great love for Jesus, eager to
serve Christ and faithful to God’s calling.
|
| 5. |
Bro Samuel Tan, Southern Regional
Director
of untiring devotion to God’s
calling, genuine love for the Unsaved and meticulous man with a
penchant for orderliness.
|
| 6. |
Dr David Fung, Sabah Regional
Director
of faith and faithfulness in all
things big and small: faith enough to believe in God to accomplish
the extraordinary, faithfulness exemplary to attend to the tedious
and mundane of the ordinary everyday – wholehearted singular
commitment to the cause he had been called to do, for which we in
the FGBMF are the grateful beneficiaries – conviction and belief
in the power of every FGBMF man a minister of Christ’s power,
following which belief he encouraged us to stand up, come forward
and be of use of God.
|
| 7. |
Rev Canon Dr James Wong
who gave great encouragement and
guidance to the leaders, members and friends and many in the
market place whose encounter with the Living Christ, testify to
the spiritual input into their lives through the godly example of
our Bro Devaraj.
|
| 8. |
Sis Amy Beh
full of compassion and love for
the lost souls and the sick, full of faith in the Living God and
full of the Spirit and wisdom of God. |
The family of the late Uncle Devaraj
kindly requests your presence at a Thanksgiving Service on Sun. 29th
Oct at 6.30 pm at St. Paul’s Church, Petaling Jaya.
