My Beloved Friends—Rev. Stella and your preciousFamily;
There is no way that I can find words to express the vacuum I have felt since being informed of the promotion of precious Brother Samuel. Never before in the history of Ancient India has such a sweeping glory of THE GOSPEL OF REDEMPTION been spread across your vast nation as has been experienced under the ministry of my beloved brother in Christ, with you, Sister Stella, and with you, Sister Evangeline and Brother Paul.
God's Holy Spirit has promulgated, through your lips, His deep love for the millions of hungry and hurting souls that you have ministered to. Only God know how many million souls have been brought into Christ's Kingdom because you have given your lives to pour the Gospel of Christ into so many multitudes face to face and, by radio and television, into the ears of many more millions. Only in heaven will we begin to know the scope and broad sweep of the ministry of the beloved Dhinakaran Family.
I shall never forget when John Osteen called me in Florida and urged me to come to his residence, because Brother Dhinakaran was there. I rushed to fly to Houston and sat with precious Bro. Samuel as he poured out his heart to me and recounted the details of what happened in his life during the Madurai crusade. What a commitment he made that day, out on that field, and what grace and steadfast faith has guided him in the unprecedented & phenomenal growth of the multi-multi phased ministry that has been brought into realization in the vast nation of India.
Only God knows the profound degree to which this vast ministry has marked the officialdom of government in India, in its enormous outreaches that pour forth from the Madras region.
It is not possible for me to put in words what I feel as I contemplate the promotion of my beloved friend, brother and fellow-minister in spreading the Gospel to our world.
May our dear Lord and Companion sustain all of the family as you experience your this difficult part of life's journey.
Your friend and companion in ministering LOVE in our hurting world.
T.L. Osborn
