Horace (and Lela) came to our small town of Lyons, KS (pop. 3500) out of the blue (led by the Lord) and reoriented a somewhat wayward denominational American Baptist church back on the path towards biblical faithfulness.
He poured into my family’s life in so many ways, and as a result of his discipleship, turned my path towards greater faithfulness to the Lord. He (and Lela) poured into our marriage, our parenting, our careers and our ultimate trajectory and I can say clearly that without Horace’s investment in my life I would have been a far less spiritual man and perhaps far less faithful to the Lord.
He introduced the concept of “margin” into my life (which literally altered my professional career and ministry investment and the investment in my family over my career) and I still carry a method of evangelism in my wallet which he hand made for me to use (and I still use this method today in sharing my faith in Jesus with others).
I am confident that there are many in Heaven (by the leading of the Lord) in eternity with him right now and he is sharing great and worshipful fellowship with many “saints” as we think about him being gone.
What an impact. What an influence. What a remarkably faithful life serving the Lord in good times and in great places and also in hard times and in difficult places but always with biblical fidelity and the Lord Jesus elevated through his faithful preaching of Jesus and the word of God.
