He was also well known for his charitable works. We lost Rev. Brother John Stephen on September 27, 1998. Before his death, Brother John requested his relative to cremate his body & send the ashes to Bangladesh to be spread where he worked. This wish of Brother John indicates his feelings for the place he had spent the best years of his lifetime. |
