Frances Munsey
 

Sister Frances was a special woman of God . She lived

a focused life ...She made a lasting impression on me

as a teenager...

She had just returned from Japan. She was living in the

upstairs apartment across from the church on Kennedy avenue.

I remember her telling me "this is my Japan room", which

she had thoughtfully decorated with some Asian screens and

some bamboo mats . She told me "this is where I pray for

Japan".

The room was quite cold , as late autumn - surrendering to the grip of another long

winter in northern Indiana...

I asked her about the chilly temperature . She said " the cold doesn’t bother me

it helps me get into the spirit of intercession. It reminds me of the millions

shivering in spiritual darkness------in the land of the Rising Sun"

As I stood at her bedside, a few days ago , I told our Lord, how

grateful I am for every tear she allowed to fall on the precious

seed of the gospel she had planted .

I will see her again in the radiant presence of the Lord

of the Harvest.....

We will rejoice together. She will doubtless stand before him

bearing the sheaves gathered to present to Him.

Thank you , Sister Frances, for spending your life in the field, while so many others

languished at the table.

--Mark A. Grisham


Thanks to Brother Mark for such precious words about such a precious soul.

I just received an email from Sis. Munsey concerning Frances' passing.
I have some pictures, and many fond memories of good times we had together when we were younger. Never forget getting lost at midnight in Chicago on Sunday night. I always admired her love for God and dedication. She worked unselfishly for the one she loved.
