Lim_200.jpgFollowing weeks of pneumonia and respiratory distress, the Lord has taken to Himself our sister Restituta Lim, wife of Rev. Prudencio Lim, superintendent of our Philippine National Conference. Funeral services will take place in Manila this coming Saturday.

Mrs. Lim was a faithful wife, devoted mother, and loving grandmother. She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren, four children, and ministry partner, Rev. Lim. Long-time friends of the family and national conference, Rev. Mike Brown, remembers fondly her love for people and anchoring affect in their home and ministry.

I recall walking the slums of Manila with the Lims, the two of them hand-in-hand, partners in ministry and life sharing the love of Christ with everyone they met. Global Ministries will be passing on any benevolent gifts received to assist the family in paying for the hospital bills that have accumulated over the past six weeks.
