(Text delivered at the Homegoing Service, 2021)

I'm Lael, and I'm speaking on behalf of all of Appachan's grandchildren: Lillianne, Daniel, Amarya and myself.

Daniel says: “Appachan, I will miss you. I remember how you tried to play football with me just because I wanted you to, even though you were really, really bad at it! I remember you always smiling, and always cracking jokes. I am sure there will be many smiles in heaven, now that you are there!”

Amarya says: “I remember speaking with Appachan every other day during my drive to school. Appachan would first speak with dad and then me. I always noticed how your voice became a lot more cheerful when you spoke with me. Surely, you loved me more than you loved dad! I will miss talking to you, Appachan!”

Our memories of Appachan are those of laughter, and I think that's how we—his grandchildren—are going to remember him: him talking to us in English, while subtly trying to get us to start speaking in Malayalam. Appachan had great comic timing; the dining table was his favourite stage. He retained a love for food (Bengali especially). I remember him emphasising the word "LOOCHI,” and no curry got past him without being a few potatoes lesser. He loved a good meal, and was ever ready with a list of ways one could make it even better, especially when it came to kaayam (asafoetida) levels. He found a complementary life partner in Ammachi: conversations we witnessed between them would be peppered with stories and humor, obscure Malayalam idioms, and sarcasm. Appacha’s death holds a bit of irony for us: the punchline to a lifetime of working with the ‘Life’ Insurance Corporation of India, and then establishing the ‘Abundant Life’ Fellowship churches and organisations. This sense of humor was helpful to remember as children when we would watch him transform from a gentle, soft-spoken Appacha to the larger-than-life, passionate Pastor Johnykutty. Lillianne remembers Appacha’s passion for biblical scholarship vividly; we would sit together with the scripture, analysing books, chapters, sentences, words, names, and even individual letters, marvelling at how symbols and motifs tied well-known narratives  together with practical lessons for walking with the Lord.

Over the past 3 years, I've had the privilege of being at home with Appachan and Ammachi for extended periods of time, and I may not have been as grateful then for that time as I am now.  I also had the privilege of sitting with him for his last few minutes on this Earth. While there, I remembered how Appachan would say, with gratitude, ‘Ithrathollum Yahova Sahayichu’ ('The Lord has sustained me so far/all this while'). And I think that pretty much sums up Appachan's Life.

I had the privilege of sharing a meal with Appacha in 2018. He was so humble , kind and warm. He welcomed me into his home and treated me with so much kindheartedness as one would be with their family.  I hold the memory of Appachen and the few moments spent in his company , very fondly.

My deepest condolences . May God give you the strength to cope with this irreparable loss. May his soul rest in peace .

Only heard of the passionate and pioneering ministry of Brother Johnnykutty but did not have the privilege to meet him personally. From the testimonies it is evident that he was a faithful soldier of the Cross. May he rest from his labours in the arms of Jesus, his Lord and Master. Our heartfelt condolences to Bobby and Susan John and the bereaving extended family and friends.

Dear Lalamma Aunty

We are so saddened to hear the passing away of our dear Johnykutty Uncle.

He was an inspiration to ministers like me. He has taught us a lot about what ministry is and where our focus should be.

We as a family will miss dear uncle’s phone calls and the encouraging words in the coming years.

We are thinking of you during this time of tremendous loss. May you find strength and healing from the eternal love of our Lord God. We’re praying for you and your family.

Blessings

A man of God who showed us the light!
He was with us during our darkest times.
When we faced lots of problems Years ago when my mom passed away . He always had a prayerful solution for every problem and taught us to face it. Uncle and aunty were with us as a very strong support. We used to share with them just everything.

He was very very instrumental in us growing in Christ.He played a very pivotal role in the marriage of my sisters

He taught us to depend on Christ irrespective of any problems we had. He took me with him in his Maruti car for house prayers and even to hospitals to pray for the sick.

Can't just ....

May His soul rest in peace.

2006 മാർച്ച് ആയപ്പോൾ
വാടക കൂടാതെ നടത്തത്തക്ക വിധം പുതിയ ഒരു കെട്ടിടത്തിലേക്ക് മാറുവാൻ ദൈവം സഹായിച്ചു. അനേകർക്ക് ആത്മീയ വളർച്ചയ്ക്ക് കർത്താവിന്റെ ദാസന്റെ

ദൈവം സ്വർഗത്തിലെ സകല ആത്മീയ അനുഗ്രഹങ്ങളാലും ഭൗതീക  നന്മകളാലും  അനുഗ്രഹിച്ചു.
പഴയ നിയമം പഠിപ്പിക്കുക എന്ന പ്രയാസമേറിയ കാര്യം വളരെ ആഴമായി ഏതു സ്ഥലത്തും ഏതു സമയത്തും സഭയായും വ്യക്തിപരമായും പറഞ്ഞു തന്നിട്ടുള്ളത് എല്ലാവരും ഓർക്കുന്നു. ജീവിതത്തിൽ പല രോഗങ്ങൾ /അപകടങ്ങൾ വന്നപ്പോഴും ദൈവമക്കളുടെ പ്രാർത്ഥന ഫലം നൽകി.ലാലമ്മ ആന്റി ഇതേപ്പറ്റി ചർച്ചിൽ സാക്ഷ്യമായി പറഞ്ഞതും ഓർക്കുന്നു."ആറു കഷ്ടത്തീൽ നിന്നും ദൈവം നിന്നെ വിടുവിക്കും. ഏഴാമത്തേതിലും  തിന്മ നിന്നെതൊടുകയില്ല"

We consider it a privilege to have known Johnnykuttichan & Lalamma aunty for the past several years, almost 3 decades. We can say he was truly a God man, an apostle, a visionary and to us he was a mentor, a friend, an older brother & at times even a father. We cherish all the good times we have had with Johnnykuttichan, his love for the word of God & his passion to win souls for the Kingdom of God was remarkable. Johnnykuttichan has provided valuable counsel & timely help during many seasons of our life. We will miss him, the warmth of his love, his sense of humour and all the wonderful moments we have had with him. It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell but we can boldly say that he fought a good fight, ran his race and kept his faith to the very end and we will meet him on the other shore. Meanwhile he will remain in our hearts & Lalamma aunty, you are in our thoughts & prayers. We love you very much.

An effective Gods servant proved to others as how one can be useful even while holding a top position in secular office front . A tent maker who  has touched the lives of many young people and established churches wherever he was working. His Bible Studies were so deep and powerful and he was so urged and moved  to take his Bible studies where ever he found opportunities whether during his working days or during his retirement life.
Whenever he visited Dubai,  it was a family togetherness and had many memories which will not be erased. Memories and our Hope in the Lord will keep us moving forward.
One thing we are sure ,  surely Johnykuttychayan would have collected as many treasures with him  to present before the Lord whom he served and loved more than anything.
Our prayers and condolences to Aunty & the family.
God help you all to continue the Abundant Life mission which he had established .

I remember the moment Uncle fell ill. I was with Bobby at the United Nations in New York, when Bobby had to return home. It was very sad and shocking for us, because we were so focused on our work and, suddenly, we were reminded once again of the fragility of life, family, and humanity. Later, when Uncle’s health turned around for the better, we felt to happy — and amazed — whenever Bobby would share photos of Uncle and Auntie. Thirty-four months have passed since that day in New York. Bobby, you are a loving son. This is what I remember. And you’re right — this is not a ‘funeral’, but a homecoming. Our sincere condolences to everyone especially to Auntie.
With love,

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear Johny kutty uncle.  Our heart felt condolences to his family. May God give courage and comfort them during this hard time.  We know uncle since 1998 when he was  the  Divisional Manager at LIC, Coimbatore. During that time, he created a great revival in bringing the word of God in its true spiritual sense . Ever since, uncle was there in every occasion of our family, always  guiding us with his spiritual wisdom. His touch in our lives in bringing the word of God was so personal that he is the only person with  whom I have shared my personal study reference Bible .We are ever indebted to him in bringing the fellowship to our family .  When Daddy was sick in the year 2019-2020, he used to call in every night and pray for God's intervention. There are many more memories that uncle brings in to our lives by his love and care which can hardly be put into words. We as a family share our heartfelt condolences to the family.

Johnykuttychayan has been a beloved mentor, pastor and an elder brother for our family. We fondly remember the memories we have of him, that span several decades. We have been touched by their Godly marriage and simplicity. His greatest testimony is his love for the Word of God. He has inspired many people including us to indulge in the study of the Word of God with passion and fervour. We are witnesses to the countless people who was lead to accept Jesus through their ministry. Though his passing came as a shock, we are encouraged in knowing that he has run his race well and will be with His heavenly father!

One of the biggest blessings in our lives was to have known Johnykutty uncle and Lalamma aunty personally as our spiritual mentors and they have made a huge impact in our lives in a big way. I will always remember the wonderful days I got to spend with uncle and aunty in their home in Thripunithura in 2005 and they have always considered me and treated me as their own child. Uncle was a role model to me as a young person and he demonstrated through his words and life what it meant to diligently study the word and to passionately use every opportunity to glorify the Lord and to share with others His goodness. His life was a pathway that we could learn from and he was always eager to share his life stories and biblical teachings. I still remember the days that I made powerpoint presentation slides for you for the bible studies and I could see through your notes how profound your thoughts were and how sincere your love for the Lord. Uncle, if there is anything that we can do to honour your life on earth, it would be to live out our Christian lives just like you did, in sincerity and truth.

As a family, we truly miss you like our spiritual father and we hold on to the hope in Christ that we can meet again on the Heavenly shore. We offer our deepest condolences to Lalamma Aunty, Bobby achachen, Binu achachen and family. Praying that the Lord will strengthen you all and bless you. May His soul rest in peace in the Lord.

With lots of love, from Santosh, Ann, Samuel and Anayah.

We are very saddened by the news of our dear uncle passing away. Johnykutty uncle was our spiritual father, mentor and a family member to us. Aji had the opportunity to be baptised by uncle and he attended our wedding and was part of our every important family event and situation. He prayed for us earnestly and never missed a bday or anniversary date of ours. We remember the time when Uncle and Aunty visited us in Australia and spent time with us and mentoring us. We are sad that our uncle have passed away but we have the hope that we will see him one day on the other shore.

It is with great sadness that we received the news of the passing of our beloved pastor Johnykutty, who was not only our spiritual mentor but also our dearest friend and a closest ally that we had in this life. We are so blessed to have been able to share our life journey with pastor and Lalamma aunty. Their love and concern for us showed us what the true meaning of Christ-like love is and they have always endeavoured to live a life that modelled Christ. Our close friendship began when Pastor Johnykutty baptised our oldest daughter in year 2000 and ever since then Pastor has been instrumental in building the spiritual lives of our 3 children and their families and also ours. His life was a living testimony of our resurrected and victorious saviour and his passion for the Lord was clearly evident in all he did. He was truly committed to the Lord. Personally in our life, he has always supported us not only in prayers and words of wisdom when we were in need of help but he was always wiling to go the extra mile with us and help us even though it meant he had to sacrifice his time and efforts for us. He has always considered us as his own family and we remember and cherish those moments we have spent together with uncle. We are forever indebted to uncle for all that he has done for us and we can never forget the love uncle and aunty have showed to us. Although we prayed that we would be able to see him one more time in this world, the Lord’s plans were different. We have the living hope that one day we will meet him on the other shore! We take this opportunity to offer our sincere condolences to Lalamma aunty and the children and grandchildren. May the Lord comfort you all and give you the peace from above during this difficult time.

We are greatly sad to hear the passing away of dear Johnykutty uncle.  Dear uncle,  you were a spiritual father to me. It is a great loss in my life. The first time I attended Abundant Life Fellowship meeting in Coimbatore in 1999, the message you delivered that day struck me powerfully.
From the time I met Uncle and Aunty and my encounters with you have been the biggest influence and a turning point in my spiritual life which I can never forget.
You have taught us a lot from the depth of God's word...Whenever you spoke we always saw great excitement on your face and the fire of the Holy Ghost in you. You went into the depth of God's word to bring out the gems and words of wisdom for our spiritual growth. We cannot forget your works and sacrifice for the Lord... Remember the days when uncle and aunty were in Coimbatore. Both of you sacrificed together tremendously for the sake of our Lord Jesus to win souls for the Lord and to bring comfort to many people. You were a light to many people living in darkness. And you always had a smile on your face no matter whatever challenges and hardships you went through. You kept your faith without fail. It was an honor for me to work with you while I was in Coimbatore and to be part of Abundant Life Fellowship. It was also a great blessing and honor to have uncle and aunty stay with us for few days when you were visiting USA in 2014.
Dear Lalamma Aunty we love you, may God strengthen you and cover you with His peace and comfort. May God continue to strengthen Bobby and Binu and their families.
Dear Uncle we will miss you greatly..😔. Looking forward to see you again on the other shore...

James, Beena, Joel and Joanna

I have had the privilege of knowing Johnykutty uncle and Lalamma aunty from the time they lived in Kottayam and have seen in him a dedicated Christian who “lived” out Christianity.   My family and I express our deepest condolences to Lalamma aunty and the family and pray that God console you during this difficult time.

No words to express the loss of a great man such as Johnykutty Uncle. You taught us on how to diligently study God’s word and share God’s love. You spent your life being a learner and a teacher of God’s word and I don’t think I have ever known a person who could interpret the word as well as you did. I cherish the moments we got to spend together in UAQ, Melbourne, Wangaratta and the times we got to stay at your place in Ernakulam. It is hard to think that we cannot hear your distinct and gentle voice anymore here on earth in person. A life well lived. You will be dearly missed, Johnykutty Uncle. Thankyou for everything. Rest in peace

We consider it a privilege to have known Johnnykuttichan & Lalamma aunty for the past several years, almost 3 decades. We can say he was truly a God man, an apostle, a visionary and to us he was a mentor, a friend, an older brother & at times even a father. We cherish all the good times we have had with Johnnykuttichan, his love for the word of God & his passion to win souls for the Kingdom of God was remarkable. Johnnykuttichan has provided valuable counsel & timely help during many seasons of our life. We will miss him, the warmth of his love, his sense of humour and all the wonderful moments we have had with him. It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell but we can boldly say that he fought a good fight, ran his race and kept his faith to the very end and we will meet him on the other shore. Meanwhile he will remain in our hearts & Lalamma aunty, you are in our thoughts & prayers. We love you very much.

I thank God for Johnykutty uncle, for being a spiritual father and mentor to me since my childhood. We were extremely privileged to have Johnkutty pastor ordain our marriage in January 2020. The presence of the Lord was so tangible in the Ceremony. From start to finish of the ceremony, God moved in a mighty way. He lived a purpose driven life, wholeheartedly serving the Lord. When I think about uncle and the legacy he has left behind, one verse comes to mind: 2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith".

We will miss you Johnykutty uncle. Thank you for being a blessing to us and to many.

When we met Achachan a couple of months ago in Noida, little did we know that it was going to be our last time meeting here on Earth. Apart from being my maternal uncle, he has been my spiritual mentor and father and we share a lot of similarities in our preaching styles-perhaps a result of having watched him from very close quarters in my childhood days in Sindri. From all of us here Judy, Caroline, Neil & Dennis we express our condolences to  Lallamama, Bobby, Binu and of the immediate family. May you find comfort and strength in the Lord.

Uncle since 14 years I am ministering under your Leadership. Whenever you see me you gave council and encouraged me for my Children Ministry. And also you enjoyed for the Puppet and Magic. Only 2 times you came to our Church for sharing the God's word. My wife translated but whenever you see her you appreciated her a lot. It made us to do our Ministry proper and better way. You Loved our Children. You are the great man of God, full of Knowledge, Energetic and Experience. In all your preaching you never forget to say about the Heaven and the Glory of God... NOW you are enjoying in the Presence of the Lord...    But we miss you Uncle...

Remembering Johnykutty Pastor

# data[].attributes.body
He served and kept the faith

Pastor Johnykutty or Johnyachayan as we knew him was a person passionate for the Kingdom. Both while in the secular field and later on in the ministry he laboured diligently for the Lord. His life backed his message. His vision to build and encourage the body of Christ was visible whenever we met him. IPC Northern Region was privileged and blessed to have him minister at our Pastors meeting of Delhi and Haryana Churches. I also cherish the opportunity to minister in his Church in Coimbatore.

His was a life well lived and a living example of the transforming power of the gospel.

Dr. Bobby and family, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as we celebrate Dad's homegoing. The best tribute is to embrace the legacy he leaves behind.

My association with Johnny uncle personally has not been for very long but his relationship with my family has been for more than 45 years. He was very passionate man for the Lord and for the work of the Kingdom. He has finished his race and now resting after his hard labor on the earth. All those who hope in the Lord will see him in the other shore.

May the Lord grant his peace and comfort to all family members.

Our prayers are with the family. May the God of all comfort sustain you all!
