Bro. Kilgore is one of a kind and a true Christian icon.

He is an awesome man of God.

It's sad that generations to come will only know his legacy, but what a legacy!

Brother Kilgore is MY Pastor and has been for many years.

I love this man next to Jesus Christ. I pray for him daily with tears moved by deep love. He has expressed the same sentiment toward me, many times.

I honor this great man as I see him, as so many have said, including Jean Urshan, "He is more like Jesus than anyone that I've ever known." So true. So true. I do not feel like that I would have completely lived my whole life if I were to depart this life not having ever known this blessed man, of deep humility and all compassing love that seem to have no bounds. His compassion and godly affections are as a river that springs up into an ocean from the base of the throne of God itself.

How can I honor this great man? With a bowed head and absolute silence when in his presence. With prayer and affectionate recollections when I am not in his presence.

One of the highest honours paid to us was when Bro. Kilgore requested our presence at his yearly Foreign Missions conference held at Life Tab. We got to spend time personally with Bro. and Sis. Kilgore and with the other staff and missionaries who were there. It was wonderful!

He took care of us in absolutely top quality fashion. And who would expect otherwise?
  • Put us up in a beautiful hotel.
  • Gave us his own Lincoln to drive.
  • Increased our PIM support
  • Contributed a large amount of $$$ to the project monies we were raising at the time.
  • Gave us 5 offerings - one of them for me personally and one also for each of our children. They've never forgotten this! :)

More than that, later when my dad was having open heart surgery, he paid my ticket home and back.

The man is just quality through and through and it shines out and through him for all to see.

Wow, Felicity that is a great example of what kind of man Bro. Kilgore is!

Thanks for sharing that - -

I was so impressed with the church as well. I enjoyed the services. The decor was beautiful - the foyer absolutely impressive - top class - and I suppose that would have been Sis. Kilgore's doing.

It was a church that I could feel right at home in.

I've seen this blessed man do things like this so many, many times.

My grandson who just turned old enough to learn how to ride a bicycle was so surprised and will never forget when "Pappa K" rung the door bell. His mother opened the door and there stood this blessed man. After a few words of greetings, he asked for Matthew.

Matthew came running down the stairs, so surprised to see pappa K standing there completely unannounced. "Matthew I have something for you. Come with me to the car."

Matthew followed him to the car where pappa K opened the truck and pulled out a brand new bicycle to give to him. It was his first two wheel bike...with training wheels of course. WOW! That little boy will never forget.

Pastor Kilgore has always been like that. Those young people would almost scoop up the ground he walks on. He has won their love. Now many of them are grown, many on the mission fields, pastoring churches and are scattered in the Lord's work around the world.

Oh my! What a legacy of Christ-likeness. I see Jesus.
