I had just started attending his class at ECN in August, and I really enjoyed hearing him teach. He was so kind and welcoming, helping to make one feel right at home. It will definitely be different without him, but I have no doubt that he is worshipping at the feet of the Father. Prayers for his family and friends who are hurting during this time. May you be given strength, peace, and comfort.
