Just saw on Facebook that Barbara Willoughby passed away. Another soldier has gone home. I pray the peace and comfort of our Savior be with the family.

She was a great friend and Bible School classmate of mine. I would have NEVER thought that she would leave us this way. His ways are far above ours. She and Steve have touched many lives. May the Lord strengthen Steve and the family and give them comfort and peace at this time. :D

I just called to confirm this is true and that she was in Singapore.
These children will really need our prayers.

I just spent the weekend with one of her sons in the Lord Xenn Seah. Her fruit is bearing fruit too God be the Glory! She will not be standing before the Lord with her hands empty.

Meghan, Barak, and Mikayla, these are their children. I had always heard they had two children, but it is three.

I got this from WNOP
Passing of Missionary Barbara Willoughby
Let the Peace of God Reign
Every man dies. Not every man really lives. W Wallace
And what a life she lived! Barbara Ann Willoughby nee Denning, wife, mother, friend, musician, pastor's wife, missionary, Bible school graduate, mentor, author, Sunday school teacher, fighter and her most prized title - worshipper. This evening, Friday, 21 August 2009 shortly after 11.00 pm (Singapore time) with her family lovingly at her side, her loving Father called her home.
During her 12 year battle with cancer, Sis Barbara taught her church family, Tabernacle of Joy many wonderful life lessons. She taught us how to worship in the storm, how to lean on Him and how to turn fear and doubt to worship. She was a fighter who never gave up. Worship and praise were her daily weapons to triumph over fear.
As the Tabernacle of Joy family mourns the passing of Sis Barbara with Bishop Steve Willoughby, Meghan, Barak, Mikayla and Sis Barbara's parents, Alvie and Mary Denning, please pray that the peace of God will reign in their hearts. Your constancy in prayer has provided much strength and comfort to us over the past months.
Details regarding funeral and memorial services will be circulated later. Sis Barbara had requested donations to Missions in lieu of flowers and wreaths. Information regarding donations to Missions is found in the attached note. Cards may be sent to the following address: Tabernacle of Joy Singapore, 133 New Bridge Road, #05-02 Chinatown Point, Singapore 059413.
Please do log on to the Tabernacle of Joy website at www.tabjoy.org for all updates and information.

the tabjoy site has posted information about a memorial service to be held in Singapore on Friday, the 28th. It indicates a memorial service will be held in the US at a later time and will post that information once available.
No doubt Sis. Barb is dancing! Our prayers are with Steve, the children, the family and the church family. She was a good friend and a beautiful woman of God.
