MY TRIBUTE

 

 

 

 

 

Roger Bosch, Associate Pastor of Evangelism and Missions.

Lake Avenue Church, Pasadena, California

 

 

Ralph Winter was a mentor-teacher, who challenged me and our church family to focus our personal and ministry attention on reaching the hidden, unreached peoples of the world. 

 

He helped us rethink and re-establish our personal and ministry priorities, approaches and strategies so that the lost would be found.  He provided wise counsel and entrepreneurial insight into new, innovative and effective ways of reaching those, who have never heard the name of Jesus. 

 

He modeled for us a lifestyle of costly discipleship, of a servantˇ¦s heart and of a quiet humility that was challenging and contagious.  His impact on our church family and our mission in the world cannot be measured.  He loved us and we loved him.  He will be greatly missed.
