Jan and I are praying for the family of Dr. Bob. He was a dear friend and encourager in ministry. He was unashamed of The Gospel and shared Jesus without compromise. Today, he is not only face to face with His Savior and been reunited with loved ones gone before him, but also hundreds of others who responded to his invitation to trust Jesus. Well done good and faithful servant.

My sincere sympathies on the loss of this godly man; your father. May your pain be lessened by your faith in His promises. 21 His Lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. Matthew 25:21. God be with you and hold you in His loving arms.
