Re-Member Care
(Hebrews 12:1)
Commemorating the Great Cloud of Member Care Witnesses
This section includes links to information (tributes/short histories) about some of the colleagues who have helped to pioneer and develop member care. Although they are no longer with us on the earth, their voices and examples still speak clearly to us today. We miss them, yet know they are in the best of hands: to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord!

“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.
Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26 NIV
