An open letter:
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
(Jesus Living Water Church Eastbourne).
“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” — Matthew 25:21
It is with a heavy heart, yet a spirit anchored in the hope of the resurrection, that I write to extend our deepest condolences to the family and the entire church community on the passing of your beloved Pastor- Robert Guanco.
To the family, we grieve with you. A pastor belongs to the church, but we know they belong first to you. Thank you for sharing them with the church, and for the sacrifices you made behind the scenes to support his ministry. We pray that the Holy Spirit, our Ultimate Comforter, wraps you in a peace that surpasses all human understanding during this time of profound loss.
To the congregation, your shepherd has been called home. While his absence leaves a painful void in the pulpit and in your hearts, his spiritual legacy remains securely planted in your community. He preached the Word, stood by you in seasons of trial, and pointed you constantly toward Jesus. The greatest honor you can pay to his memory now is to continue living out the faith he so passionately taught.
We do not mourn as those who have no hope. We know that your pastor is now resting in the literal presence of the Savior he served so faithfully, hearing those beautiful words: "Well done."
May God comfort your hearts, strengthen your bonds as a church family, and give you perfect peace in the days ahead.
In Christian Love,
Pastor Hector Del-ong
On behalf of all, Christ is our ROCK Church
