It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of Hans Dietter, whom we all affectionately called "Papa Dietter". On behalf of the two Bible Mission committees (France and Switzerland), we extend our deepest condolences to the family.

For several decades, Papa Dietter was a pillar of the Ivory Coast mission and a committed member of the Swiss committee. His commitment, deep faith and love for others left their mark on many lives, both within the committee and with our brothers and sisters in Côte d'Ivoire. His work and his witness will remain engraved in our memories and in our hearts.

We thank God for all He has accomplished through him, and pray that the Lord will surround his family with His peace and consolation.

With all our fraternal sympathy,

Guy Kohemun for the Swiss committee
Serge Oulaï for the French committee.
