Ken and Jeanette have been good friends to our family for over 50 years. My wife and I are deeply indebted to Ken for being such a prayer partner during a very difficult time in our marriage. He lent us his faith and hope that God would bring our marriage back together. His prayers were answered. Last month we celebrated 50 years thanks to our Great Lord Jesus Christ and friends like Ken and Jeanette. Our prayers are with Jeanette and family at this time.

I am so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. Ken was a dear friend and encourager as I stepped into the Director's position at Kalamazoo Gospel Ministries. He used to lead a prayer walk around the block, praying for God to give KGM all the properties within the block. We have so far acquired all the properties except 2. I will remember Ken as a champion in the faith! We will be praying for his family!!
