Well Done!
Pastor Ray Talmage, PIEI General Director Emeritus
Went to be with the Lord
Many people talk about what it means to be a worldview Christian.
Ray personified the meaning. He understood & practiced the great commission command. Ray was "Glocal", global & local. He was always anchored to his local church's outreach. At the
same time, he was recruiting & coaching others to partner worldwide.
"There are no great things, only small things with great love" (Mother Teresa).
Ray demonstrated a contagious love for the Lord & his families: his personal family that he & Violet so cherished, his church family, his Partners In Evangelism family, which extends around the world & an amazing family of friends generated over the years.
Ray will be greatly missed by all of our U.S. partners & national brothers & sisters whose lives he deeply touched. He has left us his legacy of enthusiasm & joy for partnership with national missions worldwide.
