You made a differance in my World
This is for any that knew my mother and has something that they would like to say in her memory.
I will be gathering photo’s and things that she has written as well as collecting stories from those who’s lives where touched by the time that she shared with them.

One thing I am truly grateful for is the loving mother I was born to. When she was here in her earthly form, I told her several times (even though not enough) “I wouldn’t rather have been born into any other family or rather have had another mom!” Many a time I wasn’t as loving or helpful to her as I should’ve been, for which I truly regret. I think despite my shortcomings, my mom saw in me a desire to do good, and always had a lot of faith in me. At times when we would disagree she would never get upset, but had patience and faith that the Lord would see each of us kids through.
One case in particular comes to mind. A few years ago when I got into trouble I came to mom for guidence, and everything worked out in the following weeks. It wasn’t till a few months later when I found mom’s prophecy book did I see what transpired. The day I need help she spent part of the night really pouring out her heart to Jesus in prayer, which took a lot of her time and energy, considering she had a long meeting the next day. From this little experience I saw how much undying love mom had for each of us kids.
Another thing that I still can’t comprehend is the tremendous burden my mom had to reach every C…… she would meet. She truly gave her life for them. I can still remember her taking the bus from Dong Guan every few days and staying at a friends house, it must have been really tough of her, at least phsically. But it really paid off. My mom once met this guy who was very adamant, a tough nut to crack. Well, we would meet him once a year in the park to pound him with the Word to keep him through till the next pounding. Toward the end he started to come around. I’d say mom’s persistence, faith, and love for the people really were the key to her winning so many to the Lord.
To mom: I love you, and pray we all stay attune to your checks as the days get darker. Thanks for always being there for me!
Well — to say the least - I don’t think I’ve met too many women who were more humble than your Mom John. She was as soft spoken as anyone I’ve ever met with such a faith to win souls. I never really lived with them very long, but it always impressed me how soft spoken she was. Oh how I wish I was like that so many times. I am sure the Lord used her mightily in C….. and other mission fields she labored in. I certainly am thankful that I got to knew her.
Lotsa love,
Michael
