 1961 Article of Brother Masters' work. |
Through the years I have admired and modeled my ministry after his as well as others. He worked as a pulic school principal and pastored a church near Peoria for many years. His first love, stemming from his military service during World War II, was to serve the Lord as a missionary in India. When that was not possible, he fostered a missionary vision among our Bethel brethren.
His education background inspired several of our Bethel Churches to begin Christian schools. He began our annual Spring "Academy" as a means of training our young ministers with Bible college academic subjects. These and many other vital works he has given to all of us through his spiritual insight and work for the Lord.
He built the church building in Mahomet with his own hands--literally laying the foundation, the block and finish work--and then pastored the congregation for many years. His ministry is a testimony to not only his labor skills but his dedication to spreading the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in as many ways as he could possibly do it.
In Christ,
Pastor Don Matthews
