Tributes have been paid to Colin Hart, founder and director of The Christian Institute, after his sudden death on the age of 60.
Hart passed away unexpectedly from a suspected heart attack on 13 March.
The Christian Institute’s Acting Director, Ciarán Kelly, called him a “servant-hearted man” as he asked for prayers for Hart’s family and the organisation.Â
“It is with a heavy heart that I’m writing to let you already know that our director and brother in Christ, Colin Hart, has been called home by the Lord to be with Him in glory,” he said.
“We deeply mourn this great and unexpected loss. But we don’t mourn as those that don’t have any hope (1 Thess. 4:13).
“Rather, we give because of God for a servant-hearted man who devoted his life to The Christian Institute within the service of his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”Â
Rev Dr Richard Turnbull, chairman of the trustees, said, “We give thanks for Colin’s vision, gifts and life, and pray for his family and friends. Many of you’ll have known Colin and can need to offer your personal thanks and prayers to the Lord.
“The work continues as Colin would desire. Thank you in your support. Please keep all of the staff and Trustees in your prayers.”
