A Tribute to Another Hero

A Tribute to Another Hero

Today we say goodbye to another of our Keswick heroes. Mr. Harold Burwa went home to be with the Lord on Sunday morning. Harold was one of those amazing men who loved God, his family and the ministry of America's KESWICK.

When I came to KESWICK I quickly found out that Harold had a HUGE heart for the ministry of the Colony of Mercy. He and his dear wife June faithfully volunteered at ANY opportunity -- printing and mailings being their specialty. It didn't matter how much work needed to be done -- you could count on Harold to get the job done.

He loved to encourage the men by praying with them, asking them to share their stories so that he could pray for them more specifically. He loved to give his testimony at the Colony of Mercy, and would follow up his story by playing his musical instrument of choice -- a Craftsman saw! Harold could literally make that saw sing!

Harold was also a military men. He loved his country and was proud to be an American. Memorial Days were always special because Harold would be at our Monday morning flag raising ceremony. He was a patriot par excellence!

We will miss Harold, but we praise the Lord that he is home with His Savior. Thank you, Harold Burwa, for loving God, your family and the ministry of America's KESWICK. I am sure you heard these words from the lips of your Savior -- "Well done, good and faithful servant!" -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK

Digging Deeper: Proverbs 29; 1 Kings 6-7; Luke 20:27-47

Dig This Quote: Joy is not gush: joy is not jolliness. Joy is simply perfect acquiescence in God's will, because the soul delights itself in God himself...rejoice in the will of God, and in nothing else. Bow down your heads and your hearts before God, and let the will, the blessed will of God, be done. -- Amy Carmichael
