A Tribute to Our Beloved Sathya
Our dear Sathya has suddenly gone Home to be with the ONE she loved and served so passionately.
I still can’t believe that a week ago I was on the phone with SATHYA , we were both too busy especially as she was preparing for her Thanksgiving guests but somehow over an hour went by, laughing, listening, learning and of course praying. We ended with love and gratitude, never dreaming it would be the last time this side of heaven. God gave us that gift, and I will carry it in my heart until I see her again.
In 2020, Sathya joined our P.I.T.S. Zoom Prayer Ministry, and quickly became a precious, irreplaceable part of our family. We are forever grateful to Margaret Tierney for introducing us. Almost every day since then, she poured out her heart in sincere prayer, (in English ,but mostly), Praying In Tongues, which she loved and did with such anointing and joy. Though my husband and I only met her in person once, the bond we shared was eternal.
Sathya was a true friend and prayer warrior—Godly, bold, warm, faithful, dedicated, generous, humble, and anointed, I could go on and on. She faithfully led our 5 a.m. (PST) prayer meeting with such love and consistency that when no one heard from her that Wednesday we knew something was wrong. What followed has been a painful, tear-filled blur.
She prayed without ceasing for her own family, and for the ministry, calling each of us by name. Her heart burned for the Church, for America, for her beloved India, and for the lost in every nation. Only over time, did she let us glimpse the richness of her life in ministry—prophetic dreams, mentoring, Bible studies, worship, discipling others, and hosting the presence of God by having a church in her home. I was inspired by her humility.
Sathya has left us far too soon, but thankfully she is receiving the reward of a life poured out in love and intercession. Her prayers have not stopped, they have filled many bowls in heaven and continue to rise like incense and will keep bearing fruit for generations.
On behalf of every member of our P.I.T.S. Prayer family, we send our deepest love, heartfelt condolences, and continual prayers for comfort, strength, and healing to Sathya’s precious family and to all who were blessed to know and love her.
We miss you terribly, dear Sathya, we are thankful for the time we had with you. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement! We will honor you by continuing steadfast in prayer, looking forward to when we meet again, at the marriage supper of the lamb.
The scriptures that come to mind are:
James 5:16 The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
Proverbs 31:28 - 31, especially,
" A woman who fears the lord will be greatly praised."
With all our love,
