13 Days Ago The Lord Called Jill Home

This is by far one of the most difficult blogs to write ...

On Wednesday, May 8th we received a call at 3 am that the Lord had called our good friend, Jill Hixon, home.  We were all shocked and devastated.   Jill loved the Lord and served Him with all her heart and we know that she is standing before the Lord today.  We take comfort in knowing that... 

 Psalm 139:16 says, "All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."  




in Philippians 1:29, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."  

and in 2 Corinthians 5 that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.   

We know that in 1 Thessalonians 4:13 we know that as believers we are not to grieve as those who have no hope ...


Our friend of MANY years, sister in Christ and fellow missionary is now living more than ever in the presence of our Savior.  Even though we are heartbroken here and miss her so much, we know that we will see her again and together we will praise our Lord and Savior together for eternity. 

We ask that you please pray for Brad and their children as they grieve the loss of a wife, mother and grandmother.  Please pray for peace and comfort that can only come for the Lord.  

Jill loved the Lord and her love for Him was evident in the way she lived her life. 


Be sure to click here to watch a video that a friend of ours from PaulAnn put together in honor of the life Jill lived. 

We also encourage you to read the blog that Debbie posted in honor of Jill.
