Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4, I Thes.4:13-14 & 1 Cor.15:55

 In the year 1986 we had first convention in Jalgaon with Bro. Gan, after that there were many conventions in Lonavla, Nasrapur, Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai etc..  After every conventions the messages were written in book form by Bro.Gan.  This helped in retaining the knowledge expounded in the conventions.  The books had a great impact on Bro. Richard D’Souza and he selected topics of books where majority of Marathi people and later Hindi speaking people may understand, he took upon himself to get it translated and printed without any financial support from anyone but a handful of congregation in Agripada, Mumbai.  It was freely posted to all parts of India. I don’t think anybody has read his books so critically like Bro.Richard D’Souza who made us read again and again till it soaked in our brains, the topics and core teaching. Thanks to Bro.Gan for his great contribution of knowledge.  People perish for lack of knowledge.

Bro.Gan had been a very humble man.  Though he professed to have an apostolic calling, he never gave himself a title of anything be it Apostle, Pastor, Evangelist, Teacher or a Prophet. He just addressed himself as Brother.  Also he never wore expensive clothes to impress, but simple and comfortable clothes.   His website was named as PropheticRevelation.  He gave many prophetic revelations about America the 2nd beast of Revelation 13 and India now turning into a Hindu Nation. He prayed for Bro.Hubert & Sis Flossy to get a child and within a year they got Joash (now married).

 Bro.Gan lived and practiced what he preached in his personal life.  He never lived a double life.  He walked the talk. He also had a good sense of humour.

In  Agripada, there was  a sizable congregation and it split somewhere in 1990,  Bro. Gan tried to mediate the split and gave advice so that it does not become contentious.

 In 1989 we invited Bro.Gan to solemnise our marriage. After that there were many ups and downs in the marriage and Bro.Gan helped greatly from falling apart.  Many so called Christians advised me to separate physically (not through divorce), but he was a good mediator.  Though Bro.Richard D’Souza did not like him interfering in domestic affairs, at least for me it helped a lot in overcoming.

Bro.Gan completed diamond jubilee on 12th January 2023 even as Israel is going to be become 75 yrs. in May 2023. 

Five years ago, my son Gideon Isracel also passed away.   It was a great emotional upheaval for the family.  Bro. Gan was admiring his smile even in the face of death.

I understand the sorrow Sis. Tracy, Zoe, Zoel and Adam and the siblings of Bro.Gan are feeling. May God give them all, comfort from this great loss.

Now that Bro.Gan has strengthened the established churches in Africa, India and Philippines, he can now rest in peace knowing that the fire from his torch will be spread and bring more light in Asia, as the light spreads from East to West.

Bro.Gan had to go through lot of trials and temptations in his journey of life, hoping many may be inspired to go deep in His Word and bear more fruits, like the bread and fish that was left over after many were fed.  May we bring a hundredfold.

My heartfelt sympathies to grieving family and congregation for the loss.  Kindly accept my condolences.

God be with you Bro.Gan till we meet again. 

Until then Farewell and Goodbye.
