In Loving Memory of K.P. Yohannan (Metropolitan Yohan)

(1950-2024)

K.P. Yohannan (Metropolitan Yohan), founder and director of GFA World and Metropolitan of Believers Eastern Church, departed in the presence of God on May 8, 2024. He was a missionary statesman with an undying call to share the love of Christ with this world and to inspire others to follow in his footsteps. He reposed in Dallas, Texas, due to a sudden cardiac arrest while receiving treatment after being struck by a car while on his morning walk on May 7, the day prior.

I don’t know if any person has impacted my thoughts on Christian ministry and life more than
Metropolitan. What I appreciate most, however, was that fact that he told me that he literally prayed
for me every single day. To this day, it baffles me that a man who led such an enormous ministry
was able to prioritize his prayers for me. I felt very loved by Metropolitan, and maybe that’s the best
statement to end with.

I know Metropolitan K. P. Yohannan from many vantage points. First, as the most significant
Christian leader of our generation—one committed to following truth wherever it leads. Then as a
husband, a father, a grandfather and true friend. ... Our conversations were always seasoned by his
passion to reach those who have not yet heard the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. ... I never
had a better friend or role model.

On behalf of the Anglican Church of Rwanda and the Rwanda Interfaith Council and on my own
behalf, I express our heartfelt condolences on the passing of our father in God, our friend, the humble
leader and visionary. [He was] a godly man who had expressed and demonstrated his heart for Rwanda
particular and Africa in general. We will all miss him but cherish his time with us.

Very few people have had the impact on me that KP Yohannan has. He walked in the light of eternity and very closely with our Lord. After personal meetings with him, I would go to my knees in my bedroom and seek the Lord with the words: 'Father I want to know you how KP knows you.' His passion for the lost world drove him daily. He is missed, but his impact is still felt. He has shown the way forward in discipleship and love for our Master. We will all soon be before the Lord, may our lives matter for eternity.
