Paden retired last summer from a long ministry with Sunset International Bible Institute, just one year prior to his death. Since 1962 his name has been inextricably associated with the school he founded. After serving as the school’s only director for thirty-one years, Cline retired from the directorship in 1993 and became its first chancellor. The ravages of decades of travel, speaking and tireless service, and more recently Parkinson’s disease, had taken a physical toll. While no longer a physical presence at Sunset, Cline leaves a leadership legacy which will endure for generations. There are significant contributions to Sunset and our brotherhood which are deeply rooted in Cline’s leadership: Preacher Training: The preacher training concept which Cline introduced in 1962 has spawned hundreds of similar programs world-wide. Cline encouraged and helped in the early beginnings of many of them.
