“I was very much excited to have enlisted a Spanish speaking retired pastor, John Oquendo. He joined me on three different occasions and was very effective at leading others to the Lord. He loved the work and could not wait until I got back from a recent mission trip to Guatemala. However, while I was gone, John had a massive heart attack and went home to be with the Lord. My love and prayers go out to his family. Our friendship here was short lived but I look forward to our reunion in heaven!”
Excerpt from Missionary, Randy Thomas
2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
