‘Kua hinga te tōtara o Te Waonui a Tāne’ (A tōtara tree has fallen in the forest of Tāne)
My good friend and mentor for 40 years, Tom Sine (futurist, speaker, author, cook, voracious collector of stories of the Kingdom, sold out follower of Jesus, husband and father) died in Seattle this morning. Tom turned 90 in February and had deepening dementia over the last 12 months or so. A mighty tōtara has fallen. You were well prepared for God’s homecoming that you spoke about so often. I’ll miss you Tom. Mark
