MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR THE LATE REVEREND PAUL KARIUKI IRAD

Beloved in Christ,

It was my honour to ordain Reverend Paul Irad, and to witness his faithful service to the Lord and to His people. While we grieve his passing, we also celebrate a life dedicated to the Gospel.

The Word of God assures us:

“Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labours, and their works follow them.” (Revelation 14:13, NKJV)

To his family and Church, I offer my sincere condolences, and I pray divine comfort upon you:

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4, NKJV)

And may we all be encouraged by the Apostle’s testimony:

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy 4:7, NKJV)

May the Lord grant His servant rest, and may He strengthen the Church to continue the work Reverend Paul loved.
