Please accept our condolences on the passing away of Rev John Kao. We are sad upon hearing the news but with comfort to know that he is with our Lord for His Words and promises remain faithful.

We were privileged to be able to serve with Rev. Kao during the Journey program partnered with ACEM. And Rev. Kao had set a great model to us all.

It is sad that we are "losing" one more spiritual warrior; but just as Mrs. Kao said when we visited Rev. Kao last Friday afternoon, "maybe it is good for the Lord to take him home soon." We can imagine how the Lord will say to him as he is in His presence now: " you have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, and you have kept the faith, now there is the crown of righteousness prepared for you. . ."
Let us uphold Mrs. Kao and her family member through our prayers.

We are saddened by the loss of Rev. Dr. John Kao. He was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ and brought many lost souls to Christ during his years of exceptional ministry. Rev. Kao was a shining example of how we are supposed to strive to live a Christ-centered life.
There is no doubt in our minds that Rev. Kao has gone home to be with the Lord and that, by the grace of God, we will have the privilege of seeing him again one day in Heaven. We will join him in an “everlasting life” in the kingdom of God.
We know that you not only join us in this loss, but also in the celebration of a life that was used by God to bless many people. We were blessed and fortunate to have known him.
In God's Love,
Nelson Kung

Dear Mrs. Esther Kao,
Our deepest condolences to you and your family on the passing away of our beloved Rev, John Kao......
Dr. Kao was one of the Undersigned most respected mentor and dearest friends; so much had been learned from him and we share the griefs on the departure of this Great Man.....we will never forget the days of 1975 when we started to build up TCCC and the visiting of the Chinese families along Yonge & Lawrence, the building of our Birchmont and Sheppard Church......
May our dear Lord bless you and your children & grand children.
In Him We Trust,
Edmond Yao

Like many others, we have been blessed to have known and been touched by Rev. (Dr.) John Kao. In his almost four scores sojourn on this earth, Rev. Kao was a humble servant-leader exemplar par excellence for today’s Chinese Christians. He was a modern-day Apostle Paul. Just like Paul, the LORD mightily used Rev. Kao and richly blessed his many ministries, serving the LORD our God around the globe. Although he experienced physical trials, God’s grace was always sufficient for him, for God’s power is made perfect in weakness for which Rev. Kao drew upon the Lord for strength. Many people would have given up, but Rev. Kao echoed Paul in that for him, “to live is Christ and to die is gain.” We have been blessed because God allowed him to keep on living in the body for almost eight decades. Today we rejoice in the LORD for Rev. Kao is now in the presence of the almighty God.

"We little knew that morning that God called your name.
In life we love you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home,
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will be linked again."
Please find attached my sharing and celebration of Rev. Kao's life,
Prayerfully thank for His humble servant,
Francis, WTCCC

高牧師是我敬佩的牧者， 他的忠心， 他的胸襟是我的榜樣。1974-75之冬令會，他是見證會的負責人，我當年信主，走出去分享時，他幽默地要我慢慢走，不要因為信了主太高興，一不小心跌了一交便不好了！他的親切語氣雖時隔近40年， 仍歷歷在目。又記得出來全職牧會初期，他約我共進午餐，問候我事奉的情況，告訴我在事奉上若有需要，可以找他。他的關懷，時隔25年，仍然難忘。數年前，請他在營會中分享，他雖然仍要出入營地到醫院洗腎，他沒有推辭，在營會中忠心地傳講神的話。
高牧師，你留下了佳美的腳蹤，樹立了美好的榜樣，感謝神讓我的生命中有你這一位的良師！

敬愛的高師母和家中各人，
對於遲來的慰問，真對不起。前兩天才知道牧師已經回天家，心裡久久不能平復， 一想就是三十多年前的事。牧師是好牧人，那時我們年輕，到加拿大念中 學，他 來探訪我們，關心我們，為我們禱告和祝福。牧師按神的話語塑造我們，雖然我在 華基時間不長，但牧師每次的資訊成為我走屬靈路的指引，牧養我 成為一個耶穌 的門徒。謝謝牧師。
願主親自安慰你們！期待那一天我們在天上再跟牧師見面，聊天。
