“Dead. Eternal Life. Blood of Jesus.” Those were his last words. He spoke these few words on May 19 just before he went to see the very Lord Jesus who had shed his blood for him so that even in death, he would be alive forevermore!
His name was Daniel Ambati, or better known in his corner of India as Pastor Daniel. Pastor Daniel ministered faithfully in Chirala, South India. He started a local church and a ministry known as Global Ark. He raised 2 daughters and three sons who now all work for the Lord. They minister to the poor, to the orphans, to those who have never heard the Gospel, they distribute goods, they feed the hungry, they preach the Gospel in small villages, they hold crusades, they have a vision for a large orphanage to train up street children in the Lord.
In short, they live the Gospel day in and day. Most people in the world do not know anything about them, but the people in Chirala know them well! And they also know what God they serve - the Lord Jesus Christ!
Pastor Daniel is now with the Lord. His labors are over, and he knows more joy and life now than ever before. His labors are finished, but not his works! He invested his life in his church, in his ministry, and in his children, and therefore, the Gospel continues to progress and bear fruit!
“Dead. Eternal Life. Blood of Jesus.” That just about says it all, doesn’t it?
