Grieving the Loss of a Friend

On Tuesday December 29th 2009 our good friend and ministry partner Randy Cunningham went home to be with the Lord. He had just flown to Haiti to continue his missionary work there with his Adopted son Jude. After getting to their home in Haiti, and unpacking. Randy laid down to take a nap. A while later his son Jude came into wake him and Randy was unresponsive. Jude somehow got Randy into their vehicle and drove to the U.N. There Jude was turned away and told to take Randy to a local hospital there in Haiti. By the time Jude got Randy to the hospital it was too late and Randy was pronounced dead. They believe Randy has a massive heart attack in his sleep and passed away peacefully.

At that point their son Jude was there in Haiti by himself far away from his family here in the U.S. The next day Jude had an emergency meeting to get a VISA back to the U.S.

Today January 4th 2010 Jude will be coming home. He is a young man in his 20's and has been through so much in the last week please say a special prayer for Jude. Also today is Randy's Viewing and tomorrow is the funeral. For those who have lost a parent and a close loved one will understand the pain and sorrow this family is going through. Please lift them up in prayer.

Randy and Patti Cunningham are missionaries to Haiti, Jamaica, and Uganda. They also founded Kingdom Builders International. We have only known Randy and Patti for just a year and losing Randy has really hit JMC Ministries hard. If you would like to learn more about Randy and Patti's ministry and missions work visit their myspace page at www.myspace.com/kingdom_builders_intl

They also have a P.O box posted on their myspace page that you can send cards or letters of encouragement to them during this time of grieving. We know they would appreciate them if the Lord leads you to do so.

Randy we know you are in Heaven celebrating with our Lord, and we will see you again. We love you and miss you.
