Rev. Robert Helms Creel

Rev. Robert Helms Creel went peacefully from this life into eternal life with Jesus, surrounded by his loving family, Saturday, January 29, 2022.

Robert was born to Dewey and Cleopatra Creel, Graceville, FL, October 7, 1936. He grew up as one of 13 siblings in a home full of love and serving God with all of their hearts. Serving God is all he has ever done. Knowing the call of God was on his life, he enrolled and graduated from Southeastern Bible College, Lakeland, FL. It was there that he met the love of his life, Rebecca Brunson, New Brockton, AL. They were married August 7, 1957, and were happily married a total of 64 years.

They served the Lord in Togo and Senegal, West Africa for 15 years. Their two children Janora and Andrew, were born in Alabama but spent all those years with them in Africa. In 1977, the Lord dropped the Macedonian call into their hearts and for the remainder of his years, he has served as a missionary to Greece, and most recent years as a US Missionary with Inter-Cultural Ministries to the Greeks, in conjunction with the Greek Assembly of God, Oakland, CA with Pastor Peter Vourliotis, Director of Greek Ministries. He never retired as a missionary or in His service to the Lord.

He is survived by the love of his life, "my sweet darling" Becky; his daughter Janora Creel Reed and her husband, Edgar; his son, Andrew Creel and his wife Missy Creel; daughter-in-love, Stephanie Warren; granddaughter Lauran Reed Swindle and her husband, Joshua and his great-grandson, Jesse: grandson, Alex Reed and his wife Brooke and his great-grandson, Joseph: granddaughter, Kristin Creel, grandsons Jordan Creel and Will Lehman.
