[Editor's Comment: Many of my readers will remember Debbie was the wife of Rick Brewster. Together they served as IPHC missionaries in the Far East, where Rick labored as WMM’s Far East Supervisor. Rick also served as assistant director of World Missions Ministries in the administration of the Rev. Dr. M. Donald Duncan, World Missions executive director.
Bishop Frank Tunstall, superintendent of the Heartland Conference (formerly called the Oklahoma Conference), will be conducting the service on Tuesday, February 7, 2012.
Rick Brewster has granted permission through Frank Tunstall to publish this news in Hugh's News.
As editor of Hugh's News I want Rick and his entire family to know that we grieve with him and his family. We will never forget your labor of love along with Debra, and the tremendous contribution you have made to World Missions of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church.
Rick's brother, Ray, was a special friend of mine. I have traveled with him to Ukraine to preach in a crusade and plant a church. We have joined together in promoting World Missions and the annual Global Missions Offering Outreach, when I was a pastor and director of World Missions for the Georgia Conference.
