Souvenirs

John B.A. Kessler was born in England to Dutch parents. He studied physics and chemistry at Cambridge University in the years 1943 to 1945, where he accepted Jesus Christ as the lord of his life. He worked in Peru as a missionary together with his wife Margaret between 1949-1958 under the auspices of the Evangelical Union of South America (today Latin Link). His children Rachel and David were born during his time in Peru. Later he completed his doctorate in theology at the University of Utrecht in 1967. His younger daughters Lydia, Elizabeth and Debbie were born in Holland during this time. In 1975 he was invited by IINDEF to work in Costa Rica as secretary of publications. Since then he has continued to faithfully support local churches, ministries and global missions through generosity, relentless prayer and publishing or translating books and resources. John will be remembered for his passion and focus, his humility and service, and of course for his love for telling light-hearted jokes with friends and family at the dinner table.

Desde entonces, ha continuado apoyando fielmente a las iglesias locales, los ministerios y las misiones mundiales a través de la generosidad, la oración implacable y la publicación o traducción de libros y recursos. Juan será recordado por su pasión y enfoque, su humildad y servicio, y por supuesto por su amor por contar chistes alegres con amigos y familiares en la mesa.

Director Ataltrab

Dear URCO Staff members and family of John Kessler Having learned with, certainly with a twinge in the heart, but filled with joy, the departure of Dr. Juan Baptist August Kessler III, whom the Lord has effectively used for the spreading of the Gospel in the world, for eternal rest, the Direction of ATALTRAB, addresses to you, in the name of the President of the Board of Directors and of all the members of the Association, the most saddened condolences to the family. In this moment of pain and sadness because of the emptiness created by the departure of the Servant of God, the consolation and comfort of the afflicted parents, children, friends and acquaintances can only come from God. We pray that the promises that we read in the following biblical passages will be fulfilled in order to calm the hearts of the family and the entire URCO team: "The Lord is near those who are broken-hearted, and he saves those who are weak in spirit" Psalms 34:19. And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes," said the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their works follow them," Revelation 14:13. We pray that the Almighty God, the Comforter, may appease your afflicted hearts and keep them in His peace and love in Jesus Christ! ATALTRAB Director

Dear friends in Christ, I am writing on behalf of the Evangelical School of Theology Educational Center in Wroclaw, Poland. We were very saddened to read about the recent death of Dr. Kessler. We pray that his family, friends and co-workers will be comforted and encouraged by our Lord Jesus Christ and may Dr. Kessler's life and ministry continue to have an impact around the world. Psalm 71:5-8. The students, graduates, faculty and staff of EST are very thankful for the ministry of Urco and its partnership in the training and development of men and women who are involved in ministry in Poland. We are grateful for Urco and its faithfulness and support for EST. Blessings in our Lord, Marek Kucharski, Chancellor Evangelical School of Theology Education Center Wroclaw, Poland

I am writing on behalf of the Portuguese Bible Institute. We were sad to read about the passing of Dr. John Kessler. In 2004 he taught classes on church history at our school (the picture in our post is from this time). Our school has also been a recipient of grants from the URCO foundation. We praise the Lord for Dr. Kessler's dedication to the cause of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He will be missed, but we also know that he is now home with His Lord and Savior. May God be praised. Gary Camlin - Director of the Portuguese Bible Institute Fabiano Fernandes - President of the Board of PBI
