God's peace to the Gober and Canaan Land family. Although I never got to meet Mac personally, I feel like I knew his heart. I will miss him at the 2014 Southwest Believer's Convention--but know he's having the time of his life, for real!

"Well done, good and faithful servant, Mac Gober''. He loved the Lord and His people. He left too soon. So very sorry for the loss of your dear husband, Sandra. May the Lord comfort all of his family in their deep grief, including the family at Canaan Land whom he served with such love and devotion.

Rode with Mac, and loved his testimony even when his mouth was shut and his teeth tightly clenched together. He knew when to shut up, and he was the best listener I've ever been privileged to know. I am upset though! He beat me home!

Sandra, Rachael, Caleb & Joshua:
I was so touched by all those who attended the service Saturday.
I can not get Mac off my mind.
Your only real job description is to "Get Thru This Day"
Our intercessions seem so inadequate - may Almighty God Empower you this day.

So sorry to hear about Bro. Mac's homegoing. I will never forget him telling me when we lost our son, Michael. Bro. Mac said, "Ms. Mary, he is not in our past, he is in our future". I had heard him say that before, but it meant so much to hear him say it to me. Our love and prayers are with you, his family. Jim and Mary Oliver
