Proverbs 27: 9. Tells us. “Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.

Brother Bob and I became very close friends over the years. I learned much about God’s Word, from brother Bob. We immediately discerned the Lord’s anointing upon Bob which prompted us to invite him into a position as Associate pastor at OCS Ministry. Bob loved the Lord, adored his lovely bride and spoke of all his many close knitted friendships throughout various ministries. Bob exemplified what it means to be a true follower of Christ; A true disciple for the Kingdom of God.

Matthew 25: 23 Reads: “ His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed.” Not a day goes by without Bob’s name being the highlight of our conversations. Bob was my friend. I truly miss him. “Lord, we thank You for bringing Bob into our lives”.

We miss Him dearly, but know He is forever in Your embrace; and that gives us the joy we need to keep moving forward.

Love in Christ,

Al Garza
