Alan has gone on to be with the Lord

[PastorMatt 1,122]

I am posting this with permission from the family. One of our members @Alan has gone on to be with the Lord last week. Alan was a great contributor here, and was a blessing and encouragement to many on Online Baptist. Alan will truly be missed on this earth, but he is now with our creator. Please keep the family in your prayers during this time as there are details that need to be worked out. 

Please feel free to comment below on how Alan was an encouragement and/or blessing to you.

Praying for the family. I remember him and his encouraging words from my previous visits here.

[SureWord 239]

Wow, that was sudden.

Please, Lord, comfort his family.

[HappyChristian 3,686]

Thank you, @PastorMatt. Keeping the family in prayer.

Even though I didn't always comment on his posts, I admired his obvious love for the Lord and his desire for people to learn the truths of scripture.

I counted Bro. Alan as a friend. We never met, but did exchange private messages. I always enjoyed his sermons and devotions. His departure seems sudden because he had a stroke.

Still praying for his family. When something like this happens on the mission field, there are always complications.

[1Timothy115 924]

Alan has been a blessing to me on many occasions in the past and recently as well, both privately and publicly. His insight will be missed but, the Lord has need of Him.

This short but powerful message of Alan's sums up his life's mission. He lived it to the very end for the Glory of God. 

Another classic sermon of his was about heaven and the New Jerusalem. He loved the topic and now he is living it. 

These two messages from Alan will be a blessing to hear. Though he is gone we will meet him again!

[PastorMatt 1,122]

Thank you @John Young I'll watch those videos tonight.

I counted Brother Alan to be a faithful servant of our Lord and a valued online friend.  I thank the Lord for the past number of years wherein I was able to experience Brother Alan's friendship and spiritual edification through Online Baptist.  I am certainly praying for his wife and family, concerning comfort in their grief and help with their needs.  I will miss him here.

[Invicta 1,555]

Oh that must have been sudden. I last received a message from Allan just three weeks ago when he se good wishes to me on my birthday.

Thank you for sharing those sermons, they were a blessing.

I came too late to know Bro. Alan, but I pray that his family has the comfort of knowing they will one day see him again in glory! To think, he's living in a better place...a far better world than we are living in. I thank the Lord that his earthly struggle is over and he's with the King!
