“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” I Timothy 6:12 NKJV
My precious, strong and courageous husband laid hold of eternal life last night.
When we discussed heaven through the years, Mylon was most excited about receiving the soul winner’s crown. With his contemporary Christian rock band, Mylon and Broken Heart, he had the privilege of leading over 250,000 youth to Jesus. He cherished all the years of music ministry and the countless lives touched through his songs but his greatest joy was teaching the Word of God, especially through our broadcast, On the Road to Freedom. (This pic was his fave spot.)
Throughout the last years of this intense non-stop battle, never once did I hear him falter in his good confession of faith. In every broadcast and church service, many witnesses can attest to his bold declaration: JESUS IS MY HEALER.
Until his very last breath he fought the good fight of faith. He finished his race. He kept the faith. II Timothy 4:7
My honey, we discussed many times how we both daily answered the call for the holy affirmation that I know you are now hearing,
“Well done good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord.”
My love, you are finally enjoying in this moment what you affectionately referred to as “the first day of forever.”
It has been my highest honor and privilege for God to trust me with you these past 25 years.
All my love, Christi
