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.

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.
