Cloud of Witnesses: Dr Peter Okaleet

SIM’s Kenya director, Dr Peter Okaalet, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, February 5.

He had struggled for some years with prostate cancer before coming to SIM, but was in remission when he joined about three years ago, taking on the key leadership role with SIM Kenya.

Peter, born in Uganda in 1952, was a mighty man of God and could have done nearly anything with his immense talents. In his medical career, he was prominent in the fight against HIV/AIDS but he was captured by the idea that everyone’s first need was to know Jesus Christ and walk with him.

A memorial service for Peter was held at All Saints Cathedral, Nairobi, Kenya, on Friday, February 11. His burial service took place in Soroti in his home country of Uganda on February 15.

A fuller obituary will be available on Port, but please join with the whole of SIM in praying for Peter’s family and the Kenya team as they mourn his loss.

Other obituaries which have been recently added to Port include surgeon Louis Carter, who served in Nigeria, George Campion, Wilf Husband and Hugh Gordon.
