In memoriam


He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:16
 

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
John 11:26


John 1:

1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 ¶ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)full of grace and truth.
15 ¶ John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 19 ¶ And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? 20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. 21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. 22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? 23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. 24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? 26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose. 28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 29 ¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. 30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. 31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. 32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. 34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. 35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; 36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 ¶ And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,)where dwellest thou? 39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
43 ¶ The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. 44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. 49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
 

 

 

I did this side in commemoration of my beloved friend Petri Ojala, who died 13.7.2005 in Uusikaarlepyy as the victim of traffic accident.

I got to know you in this world only a little time, but you came to me very dear brother in Christ. We travelled together many times in Russia, where we preached the gospel, and also in Finland, we preached together the gospel.

You were always eager to testify and to tell the people about Jesus Christ. On your faces was so often beautiful smile, when you told about Jesus, you loved and love so much Him.
 

 

I remember always when you told about Jesus Christ in a certain small village in Russia. You cried and told about Jesus, who was and is so dear to you. You had sensitive heart, which came into view so many times. You were a man of Pohjanmaa (Province in Finland). Your personality was straight and open, sometimes your temper heated. However, your heart was very sensitive, which always forgave. I remember when you so often deeply repent your imperfection (like you said it many times). You were always ready to forgive and apologize.

Your heart saw needs of your neighbours, whom you always so eagerly helped. We were co-workers led by God. You were for me the gift from God. I also learnt much from you, about it, praise to the Lord. My heart rejoices about it, that you are already there with Jesus, and you went there before me. However, as the small man, my heart shreds tears of the grief, because I can’t be anymore with you in this time. However, if from the mercy of God I can come also place of the Lord Jesus, so we can be together with Jesus, eternally.

 

Your life and your testimony about Lord Jesus touched many people. Your life here on the earth was planned closely from the action of God. You were the witness of the Lord Jesus for them, who don't know Jesus. However, you were also a brave witness and awakener to believers.

Your diligent work in the field of the Lord wasn’t futile, just reaped and will be reap harvest to heavenly sheds.

 

 

You told me many times, that you wanna go home and be with the Lord Jesus. You felt pain in a healthy way in your heart, because you wanted to know Jesus very deeply way. You felt pain in a healthy way also, because when the world is under the sin. Division of the body of the Christ produced to you also healthy pain into your heart. Now you are in the heaven with the Lord Jesus eternally.

These next pictures always remind me from you. You helped always those who were in need. You gave as the gift to thousands people the word of God in other words the Bible. You testified to thousands people from Jesus Christ.

 

 

 


 You gave for them, who were thirst and hunger

 


You sacrificed much from your own to the word of God

 


You testified from the Lord Jesus to thousands people

I miss you my brother in Christ. Let there be in your site always that message, which was deeply-rooted into your heart:
 

 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me. Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
Acts 26: 15-23
 



I will always remember you in love; I’m your brother in Christ. This site is our last common task of the gospel in this world. From the mercy of God, we will see the Lord Jesus for ever!
