Jim & Kathy Martin
Kathy and I are stunned at Mike's passing. He was a genuine Christian in life, not just in word. His devotion to serving God was obvious, as was his love for his family. Psalm 116:15 says, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." The word "precious" comes from the Greek word "yaqar" and in this verse, it means "costly." Mike's passing was not an act of God, for his passing is costly to God's Kingdom work on Earth. It is also costly to all those who knew and loved Mike. Yet God has made His peace available to us all to strengthen and comfort. Our prayers have gone forth for Heather, the family, the staff at BellHop, and Mike's friends. We will see him again and join him in worshiping before the throne of Jesus.
