Our love and prayers for the family of our dear friend, Johnie Bearfield. We have some very sweet memories of being with her at Central Ashdown. Gloria has memories of the Bearfields being in her home when they were missionaries and her Daddy was pastoring.

Johnie will always hold a special place in my heart. After living with her family for six weeks in 1970 as a summer missionary, she let me call her "Mama" for the past 49 years.
