Bishop Talmadge Gardner REFLECTIONS FROM THE DIRECTOR: MARCH 2016
HONORING THE LIFE & LEGACY OF MR. MOSES E. KING
On February 29th, 2016, IPHC church statesman Mr. Moses E. King passed away. I did not have the privilege of knowing or being around Mr. King as well or as often as others in the WMMD, but some of the things I admired about him were…
• You never had to guess what the first priority of his life was – loving and serving Jesus
• He loved his wife, Ms. Dean
• He loved his family
• He loved the Bible and lived by its precepts
• He loved his local church, the Goshen New Life, IPHC, in Faison, NC
• He loved his extended faith family, the IPHC
• He loved Missions & Missionaries [In 2006, Mr. King and his wife, Ms. Dean, gave the first million dollar gift to IPHC World Missions Ministries through the IPHC Foundation]
• He loved Holmes Bible College
• He was passionate about the importance and legacy of the IPHC Foundation
• He was a great ‘sharer of life’ – I always learned something by being around him
In 2 Samuel 3, King David said, “A great man and a prince has fallen in Israel this day.” I paraphrase the words of King David by saying… “A great man and a prince, Moses E. King, has fallen in the Church of Jesus Christ this day.” Brother King, your missionary family honors you and thanks you for the indelible imprint you left on the fabric of the IPHC globally!
