This morning it was great news to see that my uncle James has gone forward with his ministry into the cyberspace. Hopefully now christians all over the world can get to read his Spirit-filled, inspiring sermons and well balanced & Biblically-correct theological papers on the net.
He has been a 'unshakeable' or 'immovable' pillar of spiritual strength to members of our family and friends both far and wide. In fact he engraved the 'Seekola' name on the walls & sidewalks and led the way for many of us in the family to achieve both in the secular world and in the Kingdom of God. Many are busy working as pastors; teachers; music & worship leaders; singers in the Kingdom directly through his motivation.
A man of simplicity ~both his lifestyle and handle of words display his humility and integrity.
A person who loves to read the Book of Proverbs ~ always coaxing us to search 'divine' wisdom.
Never a day did I see Uncle James 'slip' up on morality and an upright-standing with God. We watched him carefully as he traversed a life given totally to God and still 'batting at the wicket' for God
A man who has earned so many accolades, degrees and doctorates in both secular and Christian education but never not once wanted to be called by his achievements.
A man who taught me a few things I will never forget.
1. Always read up; study and always be updated.
2. Always do a few basic body exercises every morning for fitness.
3. Drink a glass of warm water every morning for good health.
4. Dont stand by the kettle to watch the water boiling ~ do something else in the mean time.
5. Go ahead and do what the Lord asks you to do.
The eldest brother of eight sons but the youngest looking and the freshest look of them all ~ the glory of God shines from his countenance. At +/- 79 he looks as if he is in his fifties !!!!!!
He could have driven the best of the beemers and the mercs but he loves the humble Toyota; a true reflection of his character ~ trustworthy.
Very few people know this fact ~ my mother told me . . . He was the one who really applied for the house in Chatsworth where my family grew up Number 7 Road 514.
Not forgetting that he mentored both his children to become admirable professionals. Desmond Lawerence is a scientist in Silicon Valley in the USA. Lorraine Constance is Principal of a school in Australia.

Also amidst his busy preaching schedule he loved and nursed my late beloved aunt Dhanum through many years of chronic illness.
Uncle James has been a very inspiring leader of the Seekola Tribe. We will always love him and thank God for giving us such a man as this.

A MAN WHO LONGS AFTER THE GODS OWN HEART, A SERVANT, A SPIRITUAL FATHER TO ME, YET SIMPLE AND HUMBLE AND LEADS BY EXAMPLE.
Dear Alec,
Thank you so much for the tribute to Pastor James Seekola. I agree with you 100%. He was an outstanding man of God with an unblemished reputation, an excellent citizen in our community, and a wonderful, godly father and husband. I remember him from the time I was very young, his energy, vigour and zeal for the Lord and his pastoral role in the church. We honor him for his godly character and his faithfulness, dedication and commitment to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ wherever he went. He was always well dressed and well spoken, with a ready smile and solid handshake for everyone. He was a huge blessing and a shining example of humility, faith, and grace.
I am the youngest child of Peter Jack (also from Bethesda Church), the leader of the Kashi Orchestra. My father also passed away recently at the age of 95 (21 October 2022). For the past 23 years I have been working abroad as an English teacher, in Singapore, Malaysia, China, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Turkey. I am currently in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. My parents knew Pastor James and his entire family. Aunty Dhanum was my Mum's close friend for many years. My Mum was also a teacher Mrs Mary Margaret Jack, she passed away in 1996. Lorraine and I have been friends for many years as well. She is close to my brother and his family, who also live in Brisbane, Australia.
With blessings from
