Remembering "Soldiers of the Cross" on Memorial Day

Memorial Day is Monday, May 30, 2011. It is fitting for us to remember "soldiers of the Cross" such as Festa Kivengere, John Wilson, Roy Hession, Erma Maust. Mary Lou and I recently visited Landis Homes and I spoke with Allen Shirk. He told me that when he and his wife were serving as missionaries in India Festo Kivengere and Joe Church came as a team - and they were such a blessing. Willie Longenecker who will be sharing his testimony with us on July 9 at Forest Hills Church has told me what a great blessing Festo Kivengere was in his early Christian life. What a blessing to have known these "soldiers" and to follow in their train "Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith"
