We received word this week of the passing, due to COVID19-related symptoms, of former Encompass missionary Lester Kennedy. The Kennedy’s served in the Central African Republic from 1952-1961 and then again from 1965-1969. Lester, 92, and his wife Lois, along with their daughter Judy, were all diagnosed recently with COVID. Judy is still hospitalized and Lois continues her recovery from home. Please be in prayer for this dear family…for healing for Lois and Judy as well as comfort for their souls as they grieve the passing of their husband and father.
