What they say about David Pawson:
His life and ministry were well lived and stand as an outstanding example in our day when such things are rare. Along with thousands of others, I thank the Lord for having known David and for the seeds of biblical truth he sowed into my life. Peter Tsukahira
A gentle and generous spiritual giant.
Dr Daniel Ho
I consider him to be one of the finest teachers of the Word of God in our generation. Pastor Yang Tuck Yoong
We celebrate his Bible teaching and many OM leaders and others listened way back when they were on tapes that went around the world. The greatest thing I celebrate is that he persevered through many difficulties and challenges. ONLY heaven will tell the story.
George Verwer
He avoids religious and theological jargon and understates his sharp intellect and scholarship . . . he is only intent on communicating biblical truth and glorifying Christ, not himself . . . his teaching style is gentle yet uncompromising: You are welcome to challenge him, but make sure you have studied all the scripture on the subject before you do.
Justice Dr Philip Pillai
Whether the angels in heaven will be ready for such a man, I don't know. I can't imagine they would have met too many people as passionate about truth as David, nor as gifted in communicating it.
Dr Ian Stackhouse
