Lorene McClanahan & Georgia Bullard

I have an update on our recent Kenya trip to post tomorrow. But the last few days we have had two dear saints of God we know that have entered into their eternal reward. I want to take a moment to honor two women who have blessed my life: Lorene McClanahan and Georgia Bullard.

Most of you do not know these women. But both these women are definitely known in heaven!

Lorene McClanahan was like a spiritual grandmother to me and Pam. In fact many years ago when sin and circumstances destroyed the relationship with my side of the family, Brother and Sister Mac came to me and Pam after a Sunday night service and told us, "…we'll be your grandparents now…". She was a spiritual mother to so many people, and was one of the most faithful, urgent prayer warriors Revival Now Ministries had. She has entered into the Presence of our God and I believe she has heard "well done good and faithful servant!"

Georgia Bullard was a tremendous woman of God and one of the pioneer ladies of the Pentecostal movement in Lanett Alabama. She served as organist for Evangel Temple in Lanett for many years. Her husband Hilliyard passed away many years ago and she has been in declining health since. This precious couple was a tremendous blessing to our lives over the years we have known them. Each time I saw her, I saw the love of Jesus and the peace of God shine brightly out of her face and her life! She truly exemplified the scriptural instruction to women as being one with a meek and quiet spirit.

These women of God will be greatly missed! Heaven's gain is earth's great loss.
