I just found out that Dwight Hendrick, longtime missionary at FBC Brownsville, has died of cancer. He was scheduled to have hip replacement surgery just 2 weeks ago today, but it wasn't to be.
It would be almost impossible to exaggerate the significance of Dwight's work in the valley and in Mexico for the past 45 years. Only in eternity will we know how many people were housed, fed, clothed, inspired, and saved through the ministry of this one man.
This afternoon I read about a man who, describing life after the death of his father, said "The world has a hole in it, and one that will never be filled in this life". If you can understand that, then you can understand how we all feel tonight.
He always said, "Do you have Jesus?" And after I told him yes, he would say "well, have you told anyone about that today?"
ReplyDeleteHe was very bold, and he set a Godly example that we should all try to follow.
Yes he did. This summer we'll try to continue what he began.
