Kalevi


The first European director of Agape died earlier in the summer.  In our first years with Agapé (and for Lesley, even before), Kalevi Lehtinen taught us more about God's grace than anyone before or since.  He was a legend in his home country of Finland, but his impact for God's kingdom was global.  He often described his job description as an "Authorised Distributor of Joy"; a role he excelled in.

If you want to find out more, spend 4 minutes watching how he described his place on planet earth, ahead of the eternity he has now reached.  The clip is on youtube.

Lesley had the privilege of speaking at his memorial service in Finland.  As it was televised, you can see the service on TV7's site and in case you don't want to wade through it all, skip to 1:04 into it.
