I just left a delightful dinner meeting with the staff of The Herald of His Coming. We gathered to honor 50 years' of Herald ministry for Lois Stucky. Lois joined the staff as a summer volunteer, working at the most basic levels of ministry,handling mail and addressing materials. Over the years she learned every aspect of ministry from the Moores who founded the Herald. Eventually she stepped into the role of Editor, serving in that position for many years.

Lois's dedication to this wonderful ministry is only surpassed by her devotion to her Lord. 50 years! Think about it! I have friends who are my age who have retired by now and I was just 7 years old when Lois joined the staff...and she's still going strong. There's really no such thing as retirement in the Kingdom of God. Lois has shifted gears, and now serves on the editorial team of the Herald, but her wisdom and counsel is sought by all of us. My prayer is for many more years of service for her. We all need the kind of godly model that she has been for us, especially in the area of steadfastness in ministry.
