When I think about elder brothers like Brother Deuwel, and Stephen Kaung, it is hard to imagine all the experience that comes about in that time period, and how much sanctification has taken place. I was with Brother Kaung, who is 101 years old in a simple little Bible Study tonight, which we meet every other Friday, and upon his return trip from China, I am still amazed at the unction of the Holy Spirit that is upon Him. And the occasional story he tells about Watchman Nee or T. Auustin-Sparks. We lost Lance Lambert this year right before our Conference. Brother Deuwel has walked with God for a long time, as has Brother Kaung, 85 plus years. My little ten years seems so insignificant! Nevertheless, I am truly thankful for my elders. I pray God sets someone in place to carry the testimony.
I would add that when a consecrated Christian has walked with God for that long and you get to fellowship
, you walk away with a seriously strong feeling of hope.
