Micah Walker was an amazing man. To hear the news about this tragic loss left Bailey and myself speechless and heart broken. Although heaven gained such a mighty warrior, it’s not easy to say “see you soon” here on earth. I had the privilege to meet Micah for the first time on my first missions trip to South Africa in 2012. He played a huge roll in my decision on becoming an intern. Through one on one conversations, and him presenting the intern video in the back room of the cottages on a tiny projector to the song, “Best Day of my Life” I knew some of the best days of my life God had planned for me were in South Africa. Micah was very proud of that video too! When Micah spoke about what God was doing in his life, and the lives of the people he encountered, it was the definition of the Bible leaping off the pages! It was so encouraging, so much so, it sparked a passion in me and I dedicated 2 years of my life to Johannesburg, South Africa. Wouldn’t you know it too, I was placed in the department he started, Impact Students! Although my internship did not cross paths with the Walkers’ time in South Africa, they definitely left their mark. Even though I didn’t work with Micah face to face in Africa, it felt like I worked with him in spirit. I was in charge my intern years on taking Micah’s many ideas for student assemblies, and classroom teachings and putting it all together in one curriculum. It was funny, he was much like my dad in the sense that when he had an idea, he wrote it down anywhere and on anything. Luckily because of my dad being the same with his ideas, I was trained in putting ideas together in one format. Micah’s ideas weren’t just ideas, they were notes of passion, precise and well thought out ways to present the gospel to these students. It was done and written in such a way that you knew it was ideas from his personal and intimate relationship with Jesus. The last time we saw the Walker family was in January of this year. I will forever cherish the moment of our reconnecting after many long years, seeing both Micah and Cori with all their little ones! I remember Micah being so thrilled for Bailey and I being freshly married. His face lit up as he encouraged us in saying that marriage is absolutely amazing! There is no question about it, Micah was a man after Gods heart, and a warrior; not only in the spiritual, but for his family. Micah has left his mark in so many individuals lives, and across nations. As Bailey said when we prayed for the Walker family, he was greeted with the Fathers embrace and, “Well done, my good and faithful servant”. We will see you soon Micah! Give Jesus a big hug for me! - Jenesis
