  2. Dear Friends,

    What a pleasure to have met Rev. Anders. He was a Godly man and I was always glad to run into him. He never failed to encourage me and lift up the name of Jesus. We lived in Spring Creek for 20 years, and he was highly regarded. The last time we spoke was a number of years ago in Dr. Payne’s office. I was there with my father, who went to be with the Lord on January 2, 2000. Oh, how we miss these good men who were such examples to us. We pray that God will raise up more in their places to live for Christ and train the young ones. I will keep you all in my prayers.May God bless you with His peace.

    Sincerely Yours,

    Barbara Vaughan
