Rev. Samuel Lee Latta

Pastor Sam Latta,

We will never forget your Christlike example and life changing works on the campsite in the small town of Kwekwe, Zimbabwe. Staying in our humble family home and sharing your love for country music.

Thank you to the Latta family for sharing your Dad with us.

We remain strong in Christ because of his ministry.

Sam the man. I repaired his Honda 250 motorcycle in Liberia. His best joke, "Who dat says who dat when I say who dat." Best Liberian bush pilot. Helluva man, bar none. A legend in my mind.

Dear Latta Family,
We were saddened to hear of your great loss.
We were honored to have Bro. Latta in our home and church while pastoring in Iowa. He was quite a missionary and a blessing to our family.

Our hearts are with you,

Jerry Terry

Brother Sam Latta was an exceptional missionary for many years, serving in various fields in the Africa Region. He made a lasting impact and still remembered and revered in fields where he served. He will be missed by his legacy lives on. May God comfort and strengthen the entire family.

Prayers for your family at Sams passing. Met in Bible School days and have witnessed his work for the Lord, especially in Missions. Enjoyed our friendship over the years.

Rest in peace my friend, I believe we'll see you again soon.

What an anointed man of God! He will be missed greatly by all who knew him.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

May you find comfort knowing how many hundreds, thousands of lives he touched and were forever changed because he allowed Jesus to use HIM!!! My family and now 3 generations strong have been changed because of Rev. SAM LATTA..IM SURE HIS REWARDS ARE MANY!!!!

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

A wonderful man, a true christian and a real friend. Bro. Latta, your memory and legacy will be cherished by all who had the pleasure of knowing you..

Bro. Sam Latta and my father were close friends. The friendship between the Latta and the Maki families goes back a long, long time. I recall Bro. Latta and my dad sitting and discussing the Word of God and doctrines of truth for hours at a time. I remember the hilarious laughter shared after both of them telling stories, and jokes. Bro. Latta was such a great teacher and preacher. He was always kind and friendly. His faithfulness to the Word and his calling impacted churches and individuals from many nations. He was a very special person.

So many wonderful memories of this man both in and out of the pulpit! He changed his world! Love and prayers for the family.

What an awesome man of God!

I've known Brother Sam Latta for over sixty years, since I was a child in St. Paul, MN where he studied the Word of God. In time, I became a colleague serving in UPCI Global Missions. He visited our home in Greece following a world conference in Jerusalem, then years later in Germany also where he ministered in several churches. It was always a joy to see him, hear him, and visit with him. Thank you, Bro. Sam, for your service to the KING around the world!
