The Loss of a Prayer Warrior
While we were living in Concrete, WA, before we even had children, Paul became friends with Greg Wilkinson.  Greg, Vernie, and their kids had come to the Concrete area to care for a elderly parent.  Greg became a prayer partner with Paul, and over the years Greg has been so faithful to pray for us and our ministry.

In the summer of 2006, Greg received the diagnosis of cancer, and this week he past away.  We will be headed off to Spokane for his Memorial Service this Sunday.  This has been a long battle for Greg.  Even in the midst of it all Greg's heart stayed soft toward God and his faith remained strong.   And even in the midst of his suffering, he prayed for us.   I am humbled by this and know that we will miss this faithful partner in ministry.    "To live is Christ, to die is gain."  I know that while we feel a loss, Greg has definitely gained.
