This morning we received the news that Edmund, one of our church leaders, has passed away.\u00a0 Cancer won over his body but not his soul.\u00a0 We rest in the comfort that Edmund loved Jesus Christ and believed in Him as his Savior.<\/p>\n

To us, Edmund was a friend, a brother in the Lord, and a co-worker for God\u2019s glory.\u00a0 We will greatly miss him.\u00a0 Through his life and teaching, God used Edmund to lead many of his family to the Lord (his sister, brother-in-law and wife, and his daughter).<\/p>\n

In 2014, I had the privilege of baptizing Edmund.\u00a0 Three years later, Edmund helped me baptize his daughter and his sister.\u00a0 What a joy that was for him.<\/p>\n

Often when Edmund taught, he would share his favorite Bible verse, Ephesians 2:8, \u201cFor by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Please pray for Edmund\u2019s wife, Imelda, and daughter, Estella.\u00a0 In their loss of a husband and father, may they find peace that only can be found in their Heavenly Father.\u00a0 Please also pray that the Agutaynen believers will stand for Jesus in the loss of this dear brother.<\/p>\n
