Pastor Bob’s Homegoing

December 20, 2011 

“For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21)

The Hoekstra family and all of us at Living in Christ Ministries and International Prison Ministry would like to thank all of you who stood with us in prayer these last two years during Pastor Bob’s illness. It is with great sadness, but with great rejoicing that we announce that our beloved Pastor and friend has gone home to be with the Lord on December 20^th. Bob’s unwavering faith, and ministering heart were used by the Lord to bear much fruit to the very end of his life here on earth. We rejoice that he is now continuing his ministry with the Lord in heaven, while we will continue his ministry here on earth through Living in Christ and International Prison Ministries. To God be the glory – great things He has done!

We thank God for your continued prayers for the Hoekstra family.  The Lord has been faithful to uphold, strengthen and comfort in such a time of need.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort."  (2 Corinthians 1:3)
