Published by the General Council of the Assemblies of God, July 1997. Foreword s an exile on the i land of Patmos, John looked across the expan:e of A the ea toward Ephe u where his fellow believers lived . The sea posed an impo sible barrier, preventing all contact with those whom he loved. To John was given the revelation of the seven things that wou ld be no more in the New Jerusalem: sea, tears, mourning. crying. pain, curse or night (Revelation 21: 1-4; 22: 1-5). But, the first thing God bring to his attention as " no more" i the ea. A "sea" now separate u from tho e mini ter who are remembered in thi memorial booklet. The e ded icated men and women of God laid the foundation for thi Movement, and we are reaping the benefit of their love and labor for th e Lord. They served th e Lord in their generation and have pa ed to u th e torch of pri ilege and respon ibility in thi: Pentecostal M ovement. With the apostle John, we eagerl y await the day when the ea will be no more! There is gong to be a mee ting in the air, a great moment of reunion! I encourage you to use the booklet as a reminder to pray for th e fam ily members of these ministers, to give thanks to the Lord for the heritage they have provided us, to exa mine your own commitment in light of their example, and to stimulate your hope in Christ who promis ed that death would not be God's last word.
