An hero of faith has finished the race

An hero of faith has finished the race
This morning the sad news reached us that our beloved sister, Gerd Lillian, had expired. The good news is that she has finish the race that was set before her in a brilliant way and has enter into the glory in her Master's presence.
For about 30 years, this humble and happy woman of God, has be a faithful co-worker in the gospel. She had newly come to the Lord when she came to join the Operation Youth Team evangelism-movement which I was leading at that time. Since then we have been working together in making disciples.
Gerd Lillian was a beautiful and colourful person. She was a great woman of God. She was a prayer warrior and a true hero of faith. She was full of life and joy. She was a kind and caring person. Everyone who met her just had to love her. She was such a good person, totally committed to the Lord Jesus Christ and full of love for other people.
Even though she was only 52 years old when she died, she had lived a full life. She was married to Odd Gunnar Westre and they have four children and one grandson. She loved her husband and her children as well as the wider family very much. And she loved the covenant community of Kristent Fellesskap. In fact she loved all the people of God, and she loved to witness to non-believers about her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!
May all her relatives come to know the Lord in the same way as she did!
