Brother Crosswell Rimsu, who was born in Meghalaya, North Eastern India on March 2, 1966 went to sleep in Jesus on January 25, 2020 due to kidney failure. He leaves behind his wife, Gretnilla, his two daughers, Roshina and Semirita, along with 3 sons, Bringward, Angkith, and Pemrose. All his children are in the faith. Brother Rimsu joined the International Missionary Society in 2005. He established the church in this region and was instrumental in establishing the North Indian Field. He was currently the president of North East India. He attended the General Conference session in South Africa in 2012 and in Italy in 2017. The Lord blessed his earnest labour and he established 12 new churches in this field. He served as a great missionary leader, and a loving husband and father, and as a great friend of all.
The church in India, as a whole, misses him very much and they urge your prayers for Brother Crosswell’s family and the churches that he ministered to.
To travel to Brother Rimsu’s family is a three day train ride for our Pastors in the southern region, close to Chennai (In Tirupattur). Pray that the Lord raises up another soldier of the faith to minister in that area of India. The Lord has asked Brother Crosswell to lay down the torch, and we look forward to seeing him soon when He returns to take home His elect.
