New Church Plant In The Heartland

Tonight I was privileged to officiate in the organization of our newest church in The Heartland America Region. Rev. Jose Bravo was appointed as pastor. This group has been meeting at the Olathe Church for the past several years, and has operated as a Mission Church, under Brother Bravo for the past year. Pastor John Newson and the Olathe Church are to be commended for their care and nurture of this great group of people. The Olathe (Hispanic) Church of God of Prophecy now serves as a beacon of hope reaching out to the Hispanic community in Olathe and surrounding communities. Thank you Lord for dedicated and trustworthy servants.

Pastor's Wife Home-Going Celebration

I spent most of the day with a wonderful family. I was privileged to participate in the home-going celebration for Elvira Wagner. Elvira was Pastor Leonard Wagner's wife. The Wagners have served as Pastors of our Emporia, Kansas, church for over 40 years.
The chapel was filled to capacity and more. The overflow room was completely packed also. Pastor Wagner participated in the service and shared heartwarming memories. The Wagner's two sons and two daughters, their families, including 8 grandchildren were present honor their precious mother and grandmother. Surely, Heaven gets sweeter as more and more of our loved ones go there.
Pastor Wagner will be facing a tremendous change in his life as he adjusts to a life without Elvira. I am confident that his family will stay close to him as they are a very caring and loving people. I know your prayers would be appreciated.

Death To Life Notice


Sister Elvira Wagner, Pastor Leonard Wagner's (Emporia, KS) wife went to be with the Lord yesterday (March 5). Pastor Wagner is doing well, but he certainly needs our prayer support. I just spoke to Pastor Wagner, and he gave me the following information about the Memorial Services: 

Greeting of Family and Friends:  Thursday, March 7;  6-7 PM

Roberts-Blue-Barnett Funeral Home
605 State Street
Emporia, KS  66811
Phone: 620-342-2134

Memorial Service:  Friday, March 8, 10:30 (Funeral Home)

Pastor Wagner's Contact Information:

Leonard Wagner
1305 Goura Place
Emporia,  KS  66801
Phone: 620-342-3636

SPECIAL NOTE: I think it would be an outstanding demonstration of Christian love and respect if Pastor Wagner would be flooded with cards, filled with notes of prayer and consolation. A phone call in the days to come would be very appropriate - even if you do not know Pastor Wagner well, or, even if you have never met him -- tell him you are praying for him. We are his family. And, family cares.

Thanks Heartland America - for Caring!
