We wanted to let you know that brother Owen Scott, who has been ill for a while, been promoted to glory.  We are grateful for the gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ. Brother Owen, who had led Valley Church in North Vancouver, was our evangelist/key note speaker twice for the BC Christian Ashram.  Here is a great video of Owen preaching on a Generous Heart

Dear Ed

Greetings from Uganda. So sad that Owen has gone to be with the Lord. On Earth we miss him but heaven celebrated him. Blessed are those who die in the Lord!!!!!!

Keep praying for Connie and I that one day God will bring us to attend the BC Christian Ashram/ 

May God bless you all.

Note from Ed Hird+: Please pray for a miracle that Medad & Connie’s visa to Canada will arrive in time, as the Canadian bureaucracy with its 245,000 Federal workers can now take as long as eight months to approve a visa.

Brother Owen had a deep devotional life, and loved taking part in our silent morning devotion, He was an engaging speaker, with winsome stories, and a gentle pastoral touch. Brother Owen was one of my favorite preachers from whom I learned much.  We thank God that brother Owen has now heard from the Lord Jesus ‘well done, good and faithful servant.’  Sadly,  he suffered from dementia in his last few years of life, but still remembered his good friends. Because Owen and his wife Val were never able to have any children, church as family and the Christian Ashram as family (Kingdom of God in miniature/koinonia) were wonderful gifts to him.
