Posted by Terry White on July 28, 2009
The Association of Grace Brethren Ministers at its annual national conference meeting in Columbus, Ohio, this week awarded its top three awards for service.
Kent Good (left), who has served with his wife, Becky, for many years with Grace Brethren International Missions first in France and most recently in Cambodia, was given the Excellence in Ministry award.
The Pastor of the Year award was given to Greg Howell (lower right, striped shirt), who has for many years pastored the Grace Brethren Church in Goldendale, Washington. He and his wife, Colleen, have raised a large number of adopted and foster children while pastoring the growing Washington congregation. Greg recently received his D.Min. degree from Grace Theological Seminary.
The final award, the Lifetime Achivement Award, was given in absentia to E. William Male who served many years as a Grace Brethren pastor, Christian educator, and administrator at Grace College and Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana. Dr. Male and his wife, Ella, have raised four daughters and they worship during the winter months at the Sebring, Florida, Grace Brethren Church. Sebring pastor Dr. Randall Smith read the citation. Male’s award was given to him several weeks ago when all his children and grandchildren were together for a family gathering. During summer months the Males now live at Grace Village Retirement Center in Winona Lake.
