In those 53 years, they faithfully served in the ministry, pastored multiple churches, founded Living Word Church, and led many international missions outreaches. His life and ministry made a major Kingdom Impact from building the local church to preaching the Gospel week in and week out in the pulpit, on the radio, and around the globe, to loving and encouraging people and leading his family.

Gerald loved His Church, loved his family, and loved spending time with his grandsons. He is remembered for his life and legacy of faith in God.
