Subject: gale is in her home
Dear Precious co-Laborers in the Great Commission Task at FBCW,
Gale is in heaven. She left us at 10:25 PM Saturday PDT / 8:25 AM Sunday Lebanon time. She is free and in the care of our Almighty King and Savior who identified Himself as I AM.
The last few days became increasingly difficult. My heart ached for Gale watching her physical body deteriorate. In the last hours, she was unable to speak or swallow as she breathed with difficulty. Her most frequent words before she stopped communicating were: "I want to be with Jesus." Elijah, Liz, Boulos, and I were with her praying, singing, and reading Scripture as she left us for the Kingdom that has no end.
There will be a memorial service for Gale in Moscow, Idaho on Tuesday afternoon, August 24th. On Friday August 27th at 2 PM we will have a memorial service in Tacoma (Steilacoom), Washington. The service will be at Oberlin Church, 1603 Rainier Street, Steilacoom, WA. 98388 www.oberlinchurch.org
Thank you for the many ways you have supported us during this difficult time. Gale's departure has broken my heart. I am so thankful for our loving King who cares for us.
"The LORD is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18 The work we do in the Middle East is not over………. Much remains and I am confident that our Redeemer will lead us in this task.
With love and gratitude,
David + Elijah and Liz
