Lt. Colonel Milford McPherson

One of the privileges of the day, Friday, was to attend the memorial service for the life of Lt. Colonel Milford McPherson. It was at the Training College where the room was filled with those who know him and value his influence on their lives. The meeting was led by Lt. Colonel Edwin Hayes who represented all Salvationists with his pastoral support of the family and his deep respect for the Colonel.

Grandson, Tim, gave an inspirational message to us all in the recounting of his grandfather's life and incredible influence in his ministry. Serving in Australia and a few other countries, Lt. Colonel McPherson represented his Lord and Saviour, Jesus, throughout his life to the glory of God. From what I learned, we are fortunate to have known him. Hallelujah!

Revelation 14:12 (MSG)
12 Meanwhile, the saints stand passionately patient, keeping God's commands, staying faithful to Jesus.
