"I love you daddy"

Celeste Brotzel

"I found your valentine letter you gave me a couple years ago and made me think how you were the master of love notes. You had a way of just slipping in at the perfect time and letting me know how much you loved me and were proud of me. I hope I can continue to make your proud :). I don't think I told you enough, how much I loved you. Thank you - doesn't seem adequate. We are not the same without you, but we go forward with what you imparted to us. I love you dad, and miss you more than words. Thank you for being there for me. xoxo"

Emily Tucker

"Pastor, you've left too soon. We wanted to see you again on this side but we'll share the times again over there.
The jokes you shared made us reek with laughter. The wisdom you shared made us wish we had known you much longer. The love you shared with us was pure and true. Your presence was fun and exciting. You are irreplaceable in our hearts. Few of men we can say are God-sent, ... and angels.
We love you forever, Pastor Power."

"You were the best Pastor ever! You taught Biblically and I so appreciate that. If ever I felt loved in a congregation, I certainly felt it from you! I knew you loved us and cared for us. You taught some tough stuff too and I knew that any correction came from a heart of love. I will miss you!"

"John, you will be greatly missed. You were truly a friend in deed. When we needed you the most you were there for us. Twenty one years WOW how time flies and all I can think is that I never got to say this or that. I look forward to the time we will spend together in Glory. Its not the things you did but the lives you touched that we will remember, and you have touched many lives."

Larry McKinnon

"Pastor, you were the warmest, kindest Pastor I ever had. (A wonderful teacher too.) Your love for me and the rest of our church family was so evident. I will see you again. We all love and miss you very much."

"Mr Power, I just wanted to say that you were a great man and I learned so much from you. Thanks for being the Dad to us when my parents moved away and thank you for all the emails and wise council you always gave to me when I needed it most. You truly impacted my life in so many ways and you will be greatly missed. Thanks for always being faithful in what God called you to do. You will be missed. I love you and your family very much. Can't wait to see you again one day."

Jenn Lee

"Pastor Power, you will be missed so very much. Thank you for pouring yourself into the life of me and my family. Since I moved to Ontario, I have seen you as a father and friend. Your words of encouragement, direction, and insight have had a tremendous impact on how I view life and love, from Faith College in Saskatoon all the way to Life Church in Woodstock. Thank you for being an example of how God wishes for us to treat each other with love, respect, encouragement, and compassion. Your wisdom has touched my life and you will continue to live on through my life and the lives of all you have touched."

Caleb Weiman

"Pastor Power, you will always live on in me. The love and compassion and kindness you showed me I will pass on to my son and his children. You have touched my heart like noone else and I will forever think of you as my friend, my father, my Pastor, the one who showed me the true heart of God."

Chris Eigenheer

"Though you were still young, you were definitely ready to meet Jesus, so we know you are enjoying the glories of "the other side". We would still like to hear the "Three Houses" message you had planned for this morning. You were a dear friend to us. We were all enriched spiritually by knowing you. What a blessing to have you speak into my life when you were the director of Faith College where I attended in 1992-93. What a blessing to have you come over to the Philippines to minister on more than one occasion. The teaching was always anointed. I'm sure there are many others in the Philippines who will be missing you dearly, as well. What a blessing to visit you in Woodstock (including this past summer) and to enjoy fellowship with you as a friend in Christ. You will be greatly missed, but we know this is not "Goodbye" but "See you later!" Agape,

Ken and Cris Sandberg

"Pastor you brought so much to soo many people. You touched my life in so many ways and brought me to the place in my life that I am in today. You blessed our marriage and we will miss you and your strength for many years. You certainly left your mark on our hearts. You are in the place we will all be in his time. God blessed our lives with you Pastor Power and you will be missed."

Cindy Gale

"You have been such great inspiration for us and have touched our lives forever. You will be greatly missed. We love you!"
