It won´t be long until I see my dear, kind father. That trumpet is going to wake him and my mother up. They will look and feel brand new! Oh what a day of rejoicing that will be!

My dad, my hero! Another year without him seems like an eternity-even so come Lord Jesus!

Heavenly Father,
I want to thank you for looking down through the annals of time to a moment when your son Jesus Christ would come to this sinful earth, live a sinless life, die on a cross to offer all humanity the gift of eternal life. It is with the hope of receiving this gift that my father closed his eyes 17 years ago today. I look forward to seeing him again in Heaven having been released from the chains of death, disease and sin, through the acceptance of your son’s immeasurable...

I worked with him as a student leader evangelizing the community. I was amazed by his meticulous nature and very detailed approach to ministry and life. He was not only a pastor, evangelist , writer but a skilled businessman, especially in the area of real estate. He was a true master of that game. When he would go away, he asked me to house keep...

I consider the late Pastor E. C. Ward to be one of the greatest ministers in the history of the SDA Church. Under his pastoral leadership, Divine Worship service at Oakwood University was second to none. He was a staunch supporter of the Spirit of Prophecy-especially regarding music in the House of God. Pastor Ward believed in God's word and God's last-day prophetess. He allowed absolutely no rock idioms: drum set, synthesizer, keyboard, electric guitar, tamborine and the like. He preached...
