I will always cherish the many Bible study teachings that Rex led at New Life Church. His passion for the Lord drew me. Those teaching moments still burn in my mind and heart to this day. Thank you Lord for bringing our paths together! Praying for you Shirley and Family in your many days to come with Peace and Comfort. God is Faithful.
I had the privilege to know Rex at Liberty Bible College many years ago, and Shirley was my roommate and friend. What a testimony of serving the Lord they have and of sharing blessings in the Body of Believers everywhere!
With prayers of comfort to Shirley and her family,
