Elder Joseph Meade passed.

[Steve Epley]

Elder Joseph Meade of Akron, Ohio passed away this morning. A great preacher-Apostolic statesman.

[Sister Alvear]

I sure will be remembering the Meade family in prayers. Sweet family am sorry for their great loss.

So sorry to hear this, Bro. Epley. He was an Apostolic icon to those that knew him.

Our prayers are with the family.

I just returned last night from his Homegoing service. There was around 80 to 100 preachers there. The building was packed. It was an "Apostolic" funeral not a Baptist type funeral. We had church and the preachers preached what the Elder had preached.

80 to 100. That is a really good number.

My pastor was there.

He was such a great man...I hate to see them leaving us. Pentecost is richer because of men like him.

These older statemen who are leaving us certainly makes hearts grieve.

The question is, who do we have taking their place?
