You Just Never Know

Richard Mayén...

Filled with the Holy Ghost at a young age, Richard was raised with a missionary family with a huge heart for young people. The Joiner family in Belize made him one of them, and taught him the love and the fear of the Lord.

Life was not always easy; in fact, in handed him some crushing blows. Still, Richard remained faithful to God. Fruits of his sacrifices began to be seen just this past December, when we baptized his oldest daughter in the Name of Jesus!

And then...now...two months later...

He's gone. Yesterday. His heart gave out, and, at the age of 32, he went to be with His Lord.

32...so young. But death never looks at a birthdate; it doesn't matter at all to death.

What did matter was that Richard was ready; Richard knew where he was going, and he went in peace. Thank God for a missionary family who were there for him when he needed them to be!

Missions takes many forms; so does death. But when it comes, we had better be ready.

Are YOU ready for your appointment with death? Because it's marked already on your calendar... (Hebrews 9:27). Don't delay; Acts 2:37-39 tell you exactly and precisely what you must do –what Richard did– to be ready.

Until soon, Brother Richard...until soon. Rest in peace –truly!
