Francisco Aranda

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Psalm 116:15


This afternoon at about 2p.m. Francisco Aranda died.

He was a hero to me - & was one of the key people that God used in my early days here in Reno to keep me standing, living on task, & what it meant to be faithful to the call of Christ.

I'll never forget his answer any time he was thanked for one of the myriad helpful things he had done, for the people he fed weekly, for the odd-jobs he did to keep the physical building of the church looking good, & the prayers from the church flowing. He always responded:

...unto the LORD.


Heaven rejoices today.
