Paul Erwin - a testimony of Outflow


This past Tuesday afternoon, Paul Erwin went home to be with Jesus at the age 39.  His wife is a faithful worker on our staff, assisting our youth pastor, Craig Hindsman, and myself.  

I was talking to Paul on Tuesday morning to discuss an outreach plan for March 15, "Feeding the Hungry" Sunday, in which Paul was in charge of cooking the meal to feed 1500 plus people.  This week, he was in the middle of preparing meals for 250 people on Thursday (yesterday) that cost $5 plate, in which the profits were going toward missions and where Paul was not making a dime! Paul was outwardly focused on MISSIONS!

One hour after our conversation, He was shopping at Sam's Club (for missions) when he met Jesus, face-to-face.  He will be missed around the Marcus Pointe family.  His wife Jennifer and their 3 children are in our prayers.

The funeral arrangements are as follow:

Sunday, February 15
2:30-3:30 Viewing
3:30 Memorial Service

Wednesday, February 18
9:30 Interment at Barrancas Cemetery

Our church is in a middle of a series call Outflowan Outward-Focused in a Self-focused World.  Thank you, Paul, for living an "outflow" life where you affected many lives around you for Christ.
