Rune Gustavsson in Aneby, Sweden has died. He was 92.
This photo is from summer 2009.
Rune has meant a lot for Anna and me since 1974 when we first came to India. His great interest for Missions were without boundaries and he was truly encouraging us ….. always. He was one step ahead of us in his mission strategy. Wherever I met him, he said: Ingvar .... I need to talk to you about ..... and we had good creative talk. Others had to wait until he has been updated with the latest News and he has shared his thought. And I was always happy to talk to him. He was so always new and "fresh".
Ones he said, I think he was 89: I will now slow down .... to full time work.
We pray that others will now take up his mission “Mantle”.
To be rooted both there and here on “the floor” and on “the grassroot level", among the people in the community is necessary and encouraging. To be a Christian minister, only stuck in the office, is a tragedy.
Let`s get out where the porple are and together with the local people in Sweden and in Asia move forward Hand in Hand, Side by Side.
