In reply to Nancy Wanjiku. I just reordered his book and look forward to reading it again. His testimony is really inspirational.

I cry every time I think of Rudy and how God used him and how He wants to use me too.My missionary friend shared Breakthrough with me and I read 5 times.The book came alive in my mission to Southern Sudan.I was greatly comforted of the Holy Spirit’s aid in Rudi’s journey and when faced with death I remembered the Martyrs and the Words in scripture and I am here to testify of God’s doing in South Sudan.Souls have come to the Lord.My faith is increased and I pray to walk in Step with the Spirit.To Rudi, I know heaven has gained a faithful Servant.To God be the Glory!!

It is with sad not that I have learnt of the demise of a great teacher Rudi. I was going thru my archives that I came across his book “101Leadership Principles” the book he gave me in All Nations Theological College Uganda, East Africa in 2006..Each time I have a leadership seminar to teacher, I refer to his authorship.Today I said I should trace for his ministry on net. May his soul rest in peace. We shall miss you. Pastor Joseph Mumbe. mumbej@yahoo.com

I first met Rudi Lack while staying as a guest at the YWAM centre in Einigen,
Switzerland.
His book “Breakthrough” was in draft form and he asked me to cast my eye over his manuscript. As a writer/editor, I was honoured to do so at each sunrise. Because the content was so exciting, I had to volitionally slow down to use my red pen.

I have just been checking the internet on YWAM Lausanne where Rudi & Elienne led my DTS. I was so honoured & thankful for their leadership & Rudi was a God fearing man with a love of Jesus & to make Him known. He carried the love of Jesus & had a heart of obedience. He soared & I remember sharing about my love for France & Hollywood that God had put in my heart & he said just go! Which I have & 30 years later I'm still going in & out of those 2 countries from Melbourne my base in Australia. He made my parents welcome when they visited from Australia & the base was one big happy family. He always said people will know you are my disciples by the love you have for one another. He led a life of love- a heavenly perspective. Loving God, others & the nations. You were a great leader & intercessor. I know in heaven you will be still interceding with the saints.

I purchased a copy of Rudi Lack’s book, breakthrough, about 10 years ago and it promptly got lost, until several weeks ago when I “discovered” it when browsing through some old items. Although I thank God for Rudi’s pioneering ministry of taking bibles across borders, the book comes across as being “colonial european” in its outlook and is generally quite condescending towards africans. Some examples. In page 183 for instance, Ian Smith’s White Rhodesian minority government is labelled “democratic” while Zambian president Kaunda’s government is called a “dictatorship”. If my memory serves me right, Ian Smith ran an extremely oppressive apartheid system of government in Rhodesia and to call Ian Smith’s regime “democratic” is an insult to the very word itself. And why is newly independent (sic) Kaunda’s government dictatorial? No reasons are given but I doubt many Zambians would have agreed with this perception of their first post colonial governmment. Again in page 159, Pastor Simon Malya of Tanzania is called an “incompetent driver” for driving over an object that causes a puncture, but Rudi does not say the same of himself for hitting (and possibly killing) a gazelle in the Serengeti game reserve. I could go on, but the thrust of my argument is that while Rudi Lack was passionate about performing what he perceived as God’s call for his life, he often seems to lack deep cross cultural sympathy toward those he is delivering bibles to, or even those he is working with, unless they are of the same cultural background as himself. Quite unlike his friend and mentor Brother Andrew. All too often the book comes across as being about RUDI LACK and how God helped RUDI LACK deliver bibles, rather than being about God putting his deep love for lost humanity in Rudi Lack’s heart, which then expresses itself in delivering bibles to those without them. Splitting hairs maybe, but this callous attitude towards supposedly inferior cultures is one of the reasons why so many of the early africans hardened their hearts towards the gospel, since they could not readily tell the difference between the “colonial settler” and the “white missionary”. The book is a good read though.

In reply to Kathryn Kibirige. I was very blessed to have met him and hear him speak in Switzerland in 1999. His book was truly inspirational.

I’ve just found out that Rudi passed on. I have read Breakthrough about 5 times since I first laid hands on it in 2005. I don’t think any other book has impacted me like Breakthrough besides the Bible. His life touched mine and I’m grateful to God that he yielded to his call.
