Ida Partlow, faithful follower of Jesus, WEI teacher for more than thirty years, short-term missionary in in Tirana, Albania and Phnom Penh, Cambodia, aggressive evangelist by nature, beloved by family, friends, and WEI students around the world, has gone home to be with her Lord whom she has served throughout her adult life.
Ida was a blood relative of our Bob Towell who moved from this land of the dying to the land of the living on March 12th. We cannot but wonder if Bob and Ida are hugging each other now and celebrating their victory in Jesus.
Not long ago, shortly after Ida learned that she had pancreatic cancer, our daughter Debbie and her husband Dan went to visit her at the rehab center. Ida was teaching one of her nurses a Bible lesson and had asked Debbie to bring her a set of WEI materials so that the nurse could study them after she was gone.
Ida was an evangelist to the end, and she will have many stars in her crown. Her family and friends are grieving, but not as those who have no hope. May the God of comfort be with her loved ones.
To us, death means loss. To God it is homecoming day. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants” (Psalm 116:15).
W.E.I. THANKS ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!
The contributions and donations you provide allow WEI to continue to reach people in all nations with the word of God.
