In 2016 veteran Child Evangelism Fellowship missionary Betty Hoover asked me if I would like to have any of her teaching materials once she retired that year.
I immediately accepted, expecting her to send a few items…
Instead she sent me everything!
Around Christmas 2017 I received more than entire carload of teaching material that had been used to share the Gospel with countless children.
I was honestly overwhelmed by this gift, but understood why Miss Hoover sent it to me. She wanted her ministry to continue. And it does in a powerful way.
This afternoon I drove to an area of Barrouallie to hold a “bible club.” The kids are always looking for my car, and start excitedly jumping up and down whenever they see it.
As a little girl ran to give me a hug this afternoon, I thanked the Lord for a dear missionary who faithfully served the Lord for many years.
And whose legacy of ministry will last for many years to come.
