TRIBUTE TO REV. SHIDALI — A GIANT OF FAITH Papa, as we fondly called him while growing up, was more than a spiritual leader; he was a father, a prayer warrior, and a man who genuinely loved God. One word that was almost certain to come up in every conversation with Papa was HEAVEN. He constantly reminded and encouraged us to live our lives with eternity in view and to strive to make Heaven our ultimate destination. He preached holy living, and he lived what he preached. His life was a testimony of integrity, prayer, purity, and devotion to God. He taught me the importance of hearing from God, a lesson that has deeply shaped my Christian journey. Papa lived a life free from scandal and dedicated to the things of God. Heaven has gained a giant of faith. But those of us left behind will deeply miss his prayers, wisdom, encouragement, and godly example. Thank you, Papa, for showing us what it means to live with Heaven in view. Until we meet again at Jesus’ feet. Rest on, Papa. 🕊️
