Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ to Jon and the rest of the family.
I feel blessed to have had a nice chat with Rev Dr Yoder after all these years just a few weeks ago when I found him at lunch while visiting my mother in the ECC home. It is a small world.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us"

Rev. Yoder brings many good memories to mind. When I attended Waldheim Camp in the late '40's, he was my Bible teacher. May your many good memories give you comfort at this time and may God give you His peace.

Jim was truly a man of God who "rightly divided the word of truth". His life demonstrated the fruit of the Spirit as he instructed future pastors and associated with people. Although I am sorry for your loss, he is rejoicing in heaven with all the saints who have gone before him.
