We are all still grieving over the passage of our dear friend and fellow brother, Wendell Agee. On the night of his passing we were there with June and her daughters sharing our mutual respect and awe at all that Wendell has done. At one point, while talking with his daughter Christine, I mentioned to her that we all lovingly referred to Wendell as a Giant. She looked a little puzzled, but I shared with her all the great many things Wendell had done for the Lord in serving others. His evangelistic outreach goes far and wide, including Cuba, St. Croix, Honduras and many other places in this world. His tireless efforts in correspondence course work and the prison ministry have won many souls for Christ.
His influence on us all will last throughout our lifetimes. He was a humble, kind, diligent, tenacious, and meek servant of God. Wendell was no big fellow in his physical stature or demeanor, however, he was a Giant among us and for that we are eternally thankful. If the measure of a man is his lasting impact on the lives of the many, then Wendell was indeed a Giant. May we all rejoice as does all the hosts in heaven over Wendell’s entrance into his eternal home. Let’s all use his example to live for Christ in all that we do, and some day we will meet him again.
Pay to all what is owed to them:…respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed (Romans 13:7).
Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know (John 14:1-4).
“When we are born it is we who cry and others rejoice, May we live our lives in such a way,
When we die it is others who cry and we rejoice!”
