Absent from the body, Present with the Lord

It is with sadness that we say goodbye to our dear friend, René Rottiers. He collapsed suddenly this morning with an apparent heart attack. Please pray especially for Marcelle, his dear wife, and their son, Daniel. Dad is flying out tomorrow night. Services will be held Monday. Pray for physical strength for Dad as well as strength to minister to a grieving wife and assembly. Pray for Tim as he ministers to grieving people as well. God is good to take him home so quickly, but it will certainly leave a hole. M. Rottier has been at EBPC since its birth in 1992. We are very thankful that he knew the Lord and for his godly testimony.

I'm the one that posted. Not sure why it says mom and dad. Sorry--if anyone was confused!

We're praying for the family of believers there. I loved M. Rottier, but I'm happy for him right now.
