CELEBRATION OF LIFE WILL BE
Tuesday 26 August 2008 @ 10:30AM
(please be seated by 10:15AM)
New Wine Church
Gateway House, John Wilson Street,
Woolwich, London, SE18 6QQ
************************
Rev Timothy Anthony Bryan was a great man who embodied zeal and commitment to his calling as a
minister in the New Testament Church of God. We grieve for a great husband, best friend and soul
mate to his beloved wife of 15 years Angela who never restricted Tim's calling as he dutifully
lived his charge as an anointed servant of God using his gifts and abilities to uplift, challenge
and inspire us to be the best we could be. We continue to pray for her strength in this difficult
time.
Tim worked for Christian Aid as a design and production manager. He previously managed a small
design studio responsible for producing a wide range of health promotion materials and campaigns
across the boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham.
He dabbled in photography as he liked to put it and would spend numerous hours at police stations as
an appropriate adult for youth in problems with the law.
Fluent in gadgetry. Didn’t do tea runs! Involved in a wide range of community and church based
projects including youth work. He played the sax and pretended to play the keyboard, bass guitar and
drums.
Tim was a member of the Herne Hill NTCG, National NTCG Youth Executive member and consultant to many
projects within the New Testament Church of God at the senior level. The legacy he leaves behind is
a rich one, Tim transformed the lives of many people far and wide with the word of God and his
infectious humour that could turn any situation around. Words would fail us immeasurably for
accolades and awards could never truly honour the contribution made by this individual. He gave his
life to God and God used him mightily and we are all the beneficiaries of a life lived 24/7/365 for
God.
On the morning of Tuesday 22nd July 2008, Tim Bryan rose early as he prepared for another day. The
orders he received that day came from on high, Tim was promoted to higher office and the world lost
a great man. His cause of death has not yet been ascertained and we ask respectfully for any
speculation to cease in honour of his wife, family and those that loved him.
Before he died Tim produced a book documenting his love of photography, details will be published
soon and we ask for your support in memoriam.
If you wish to upload a tribute photo of yourself and Tim please contact me through this site.
To My Family
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you.'
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.'
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......'My day was not in vain.'
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made someone smile.
Tim so sorry to lose such a great youth leader though I didnt know you that well i will always remember that camera and the sermon at youth academy '07 will see you in heaven bro maybe u can give me some camera tips coz i need them! 'For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout... and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:' (1 Thessalonians 4:16)
Condolences to sister Angela and the family, be encouraged and know that the saints in Manchester are with you in spirit and that our brother is sleeping in the Lord.
Tim the Grown Up Kid:)

Rev Tim Bryan\'s Legacy
Firstly, I would like to offer my condolences to Tim's wife Angela, other members of the family and associates in hearing of Rev Tim Brian's passing away.
I was shocked in hearing that Tim passed away so suddenly at such a young age of 40. He was someone I greatly admired and for whom I had the greatest respect. Respect is something earned in life and Tim most certainly earned this in a big way.
Tim's word was his bond, as I have proven from personal experience.
I normally only confide in people I trust and Tim was one of those few people. During last year 2007, I informed him that I was setting up a Social Enterprise Company; aimed at providing educational & training services to primarily BME (Black Minority Ethnic) groups and that I needed to set up a website. He offered lots of advice and support, emailed me the best company to register with and the whole process of kick starting the website. This was followed by him designing the logo and the website and requested further information to complete it and hand it over to me. Unfortunately he was unable to complete it, but his legacy lives on and we are hoping to feature his name on our website as a memorial to him, if his wife - Angela agrees. This logo and website holding page is observable on the website under the company's name VITAL EET.
I have profound memory of him as a National Men's Ministries Executive Board Member, some years ago and although he served out his term of office, he continued to support the department since then.
From my experience of knowing Tim, he was a real doer and less of a talker. He was a young Minister of highest integrity and true to his faith as a-born-again believer. This highest quality could only be demonstrated through the love of God in his heart. James 2 v 17 '...faith by itself, if not accompanied by action is dead.' 1 Corinthians 13 v 13 '... the greatest of these is love.'
Our prayers are with the family at this time, during their bereavement of their departed loved one.
Best wishes
Seymour Mattis
Executive Director - VITAL EET
In The Arms Of Your Saviour
In an age where very few christain men are seen as godly roll models, and having only known Rev Tim Bryan for a very short time, I can honestly say that christendom has lost one of it's finest christain 'roll models'for our time. I and I'm sure many are comforted at this sad time with the fact that God does all things well and for a purpose. Whilst we mourn the loss of our brother we continue to remember those whom he has left behind in our prayers.
A True Ambassador
Heartfelt,sincere sympathy to Tim's family. Tim has touched the lives of everyone. He was truly a Man of God. His lectures and teachings I will never forget. Words are not enough to express how sad we are, but I can give God thanks for the life you have led Tim.Your legacy lives on.
A man with a heart for God.
Gutted!
I worked with Tim for a short time on the West Croydon District Youth Board, but long enough to know that he was all for the Lord as well as the young people who God placed under his wings. Full of energy, dedicated, committed...a true Shepherd; always busy, yet always have enough time for everyone....Irreplaceable!
Rest peacefully in the Lord.
TimTim the camera man
Tim, i am missing you so much. I know that you obviously can't read this, but i want to leave this final message to you, saluting you in your great works as a friend, great photographer, and a youth leader, that didn't mind taking time outto talk to other young people and sing sily songs with them. i got my Jamaica National flag on Sunday by the way, adn I didnt have to talk to them or make an account tlike we didnt want to do. We Just Want Flag! Youth Academy was great, especially when you could work out the projector, and it took a minor (yes me) to work it out! lol...though the song still stands...
#Tim Tim the camera man if he can't do it no one can!#
Be BLESSING IN HEAVEN LIKE YOU WERE OMN EARTH! See you whenever the Lord calls me up too!
To Angela, my uttermost concodolences to you, there is a little prayer in my heart for you in these days. I know that I'm hurting and upset, but the pain for you is obviously much greater. May God just be with you, and send his Holy Spirit to comfort you.
I'll say bye now!
Nj xx
A man after God\'s own heart
Tim- I still don't understand why God took you so soon but I know your soul is at rest. You gave your best and served well. You were a great role model and example to many of us. We salute you and you'll be greatly missed. Forest Hill won't be the same without you. RIP.
My deepest sympathy to Angela, Bishop and Sis Bryan, Patsy, Patrick and extended family - you're in our prayers.
We have lost a champion
We spoke about 14 days before he left earth. Little did I know we would never see each other again. My great memories of Tim goes back to the late 70s when I use to spend time at his parent's home. Tim's impeccable manners and incredible humility will always be remembered.
It's was great to see him rise to the challenge of leadership, taking up the mantle of ministry. His contribution to the NTCG has touch us all. I will miss him. Thanks Tim for your contribution to the NTCG which I will like many other will forever cherish. You have left us a legacy.
My wife and I offers our condolences to Tim's wife and family.
