Speaking on Behalf of the Pawhuska Ministerial Alliance

The Heart of the Ministerial Alliance is what it is today because of the influence of Ken.

Ken embodied the heart of Jesus for people

Ken‘s example of Service and Love continues to display the love of Jesus.

“Pastor Ken was one of my biggest support systems through all the downs I have had…He was my counselor, my guide, and a… voice that put everything into a more positive perspective and that connected me with the Divine… He was the epitome of compassion. He was compassionate to one and all. He was the shoulder you could cry on, but he was also the one who could be honest with you in the most polite and respectful way. No matter how he felt, he always had a smile on his face. His wisdom [has had a positive impact on my life].”

“Rev. Ken was such a kind soul and a joy to be around. He was ALWAYS willing to help. I spoke with him on numerous occasions regarding individuals who were in need of assistance and he always had kind words and always was willing to help. I always left from speaking with him with a smile not only on my face but on my heart. He was a true blessing to be around. His home going is a great loss for our great town.”

Luke 10:25–37 (ESV): The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”

29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”

Ken is also an example of what it means to love the Lord with all of your heart still mind and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself.

No doubts that Ken is beholding the face of His Master and Savior and experiencing the overwhelming joy of hearing the Lord Jesus saying to him, “Well done My good and faithful servant.”
