Over the last three weeks at least three faithful ministers of the Lord have gone to their reward. I believe Achille Blaize died back in mid-August and then Walt Chantry died on September 9. Peter Beale died on September 24 and his funeral is on October 13. Each of these men lived to a good age.
I also understand that Gordon Hoppe who ran the Christian Bookshop in Pratts Bottom and was involved in many other aspects of Christian work has died.
I notice that Brother Andrew (Andrew van der Bijl) famous as God's smuggler died in Holland at the end of September. He must have been 94.
ReplyDeleteI had not heard about Peter. A dear man. -JH
ReplyDeleteHi, the link to Pastor Chantry's obituary is not functioning. Are you sure he died? Because I cannot find any other references to his passing. (I attended Grace Baptist while a student at Dickinson College.)
ReplyDeleteSorry. I believe that for various reasons his family have been reticent about publicising the death. It is confirmed on the Banner of Truth website https://banneroftruth.org/uk/about/banner-authors/walter-j-chantry/
