Bro. LONNIE JENKINS' PROMOTION TO GLORY

According to http://hosting-13000.tributes.com, Lonnie S. Jenkins, age 81, of Lima died 5:15 a.m. Friday December 7, 2012 at Lima Memorial Hospital. He was born Nov. 9, 1931 in Orange, California to Lonnie Silas and Virginia Campbell Jenkins, who preceded him in death.

A gallant soldier of God

Rev. Jenkins had been a Minister at Believers Christian Fellowship, Lima, Ohio. He had been a Staff Sgt. in the U. S. Air Force, stationed in Japan following the Korean Conflict. As a missionary for 40 years he had travelled to over 100 countries. His latest passion was a worldwide T.V. broadcast called "Global Answers".

Eaglecryradio.com reported that "After a battle with renal failure for the last several months it is with great sadness and pleasure at the same time, to say that our precious brother has graduated and gone on to receive his reward in glory". 

While at the hospital Brother Lonnie gave a farewell speech (hardly six days before he went to be with the Lord) and it's this speech that has made me think of having a post about his promotion to glory. In his speech brother Lonnie speaks confidently, an act that shows an assurance of his better and 'unexplainable' life after death. Bro Branham said "Don't be afraid. Death is just a scarecrow trying to keep you away from something. My, it's so glorious. It's beyond anything that you could think of. No wonder the Bible said, "Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither has it entered the hearts of men what God has for them in store that love Him." Oh, just to look apast the curtain of time" Accepting God's Provided Way P:16 [63-0115]. "And when we're borned again, we're sons and daughters of God, and have Eternal Life and shall never perish. Oh, what a--what a--what a blessed Saviour. Oh, there's no way to write it. There's no way to explain it. It's just beyond explaining. No one can explain how great it is. And--How Great Thou Art! How Great Thou Art! is right" From That Time P:3  [62-0713]
