On Tuesday we held Mike Hoffman’s memorial service. Mike gave cancer a brave fight for many years. He was a much-loved man who gave his life to Jesus as an adult. He made it clear that he didn’t want any long-winded preachers at his funeral! But he did want a clear salvation message presented.
The service was great. I was moved by the tributes his family and friends gave. And all three of us preachers did our best to be clear and brief. I think Mike would have been pleased by the end result.
The really great news is that one person picked up a Red Bag after the service, indicating his desire to follow Christ. Pastor Jim unpacked the bag for him and learned that he is coming back to Jesus after a long time away.
Later we heard that another person who attended was so moved by what was said that she prayed with a friend that night to give her life to Jesus. Wow, life from death!
Mike’s testimony lives on. I want to live for Jesus so that my life impacts others even after I’m gone. What if we all did that? What an impact for eternity!
