Re: The Passing of John Ogwyn
Dear Brethren,
On Tuesday morning June 14th the Living Church of God announced the tragic passing of Mr. John Ogwyn, a dedicated servant to God’s people his entire adult life. Mr. Ogwyn’s influence was truly remarkable and could be felt in every corner of the globe. If one thinks about it, few ministers in this era of the New Testament Church have had a greater impact on God’s people and His work.
John Ogwyn was a splendid writer and his words brought life to the great truths revealed in the scriptures. His grasp of church history was, and is legendary among God’s people today. He wrote powerfully about the journey of God’s True Church down through the ages, and his magnificent storytelling connected believers in this generation to those in generations pa
