Dr. Joe VanKoeveringās Homegoing Honored
Pastor Benny Hinn Joins Believers Worldwide in a Tribute to International Broadcaster and Friend
Psalm 116:15 declares, āPrecious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.ā Certainly this is true for my friend, Dr. Joe VanKoevering, who blazed worldwide trails as broadcaster, author, and pastor.
Pastor Benny Hinn joins with other international leaders in honoring his friendās homegoing, saying:
Even as I grieve Dr. Joe VanKoeveringās passing from this earth, Iām also rejoicing that he has graduated to his heavenly reward.
I am praying for the VanKoevering family, including his precious wife, Kaye, and their ministryās staff.
Psalm 37:23 states that a personās steps are ordered by the Lord. Certainly, this was true of each step of Dr. VanKoeveringās remarkable life.
Known for his dynamic personality and prophetic comprehension, Dr. VanKoevering was recognized by millions around the world as host of the syndicated television program Godās News Behind the News(founded 60 years ago by his father-in-law, the late Ray Brubaker) and publisher of the magazine by the same name, an insightful prophecy resource to thousands.
For the past quarter-century, Dr. VanKoevering hosted the International Prophecy Conference, considered by many to be the prophetic event each year. He also served as pastor to Gateway Christian Center in St. Petersburg, Florida. Some of his popular books include Led by God, Unveiling the Man of Sin, Godās Final Call to America, and Exposing the Scoffers.
I can only imagine his welcoming reception in heaven.
Dr. VanKoevering truly inspired my life in so many ways. Spending time with him was always a blessing, and my respect for him has continued to grow monumentally throughout the years.
Only eternity will measure the impact of this beloved manās life, but the time has come to join his loved ones and other believers around the world in mourning his passing. I unite with the many others in celebrating Dr. Joe VanKoeveringās reunion in heaven with all those who are there as a result of his ministry, and especially his face-to-face greeting from the Lord Jesus, whom my beloved brother served so faithfully during his memorable lifetime.
