Thanks Noah, I learned so much about the Bible from you. I used to listen to your program as a cop, and later after I retired from that career, as a truck driver.You really shaped my world view. You always answered all my letters personally. You have been a great blessing to my life.

I have listened to SWRC for over 25 years On KAAY 1090 Little Rock, Arkansas and I will miss Brother Hutchings, his wit, honesty and love for God was amazing. He rests from his labors but his works do follow him.

Words can't express our deep appreciation for Brother Noah. We have many of his books, and always looked forward to his articles.

Our hearts are broken knowing this precious man of God has left us, but we are rejoicing in his home going to be with our Lord and Savior. We met Noah in 1997 and fell in love with him immediately. Knowledge of the bible and its relationship with Israel and her people and prophecy was amazing. Kim & SWRCM Family, we share your pain and joy of having Noah as a friend and mentor...having served on SWRCM Board for several years, we know you will honor Noahs memory and continue the work he did so well.
Loving thoughts and prayers to all, Russell and Gale May.

I enjoy many books written by Mr Hutchings, and also appreciated he took the time to write personal letters of encouragement and thanks ! I feel like I lost a friend. Job well done, Noah !!

I will never forget Noah! I went to Israel twice and on one tour after I had had a hip replacement we were to go thru the Ciq. He suggested that he and I ride on the horse - drawn cart thru it. As we got on he offered the driver $10 to go slow. I don't think the driver understood English--he drove even faster!! What a ride and memory. Rest in peace--Noah.

Kim, please accept our sincerest sympathy in the loss of your beloved husband Noah. We have gone to his East Coast Conferences since 1994. Then joined him on 6 tours to Israel. He made the tours so meaningful. We will never forget his love for The Lord and The Word.
His quick wit and easy-going manner were His trademark!
May you be comforted by the Grace of our Jesus.

Truly a man of God; bold, kind, knowledgable, now in the presence of the Lord. Met him twice, extraordinary man, sharing his wisdom with all he could. Steadfast...we need more of this! No one will EVER take his place as Southwest Radio Church Ministries Director. Surely, the Lord is nigh.
