We are saddened to let you know of the passing of ARC Pastor, Walter Enquist. Walt was the pastor for Christ the Messiah Church in Jacksonville, FL and was much beloved by his family, friends, and congregation. His son, Teddy, told me that Walt suffered a sudden heart attack on August 17th, only a few days after having had what appeared to be successful gall bladder surgery.

A going home celebration was held on Saturday, August 23rd. Knowing Walt and his great faith in Jesus and his love for God, that is exactly what it would be—a celebration of his life, his ministry, and his going to what he understood to be his true home with the Lord. In lieu of flowers, his family asks that all memorial contributions be made to Christ the Messiah Church. The address is 7576 San Jose Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32217.

Please keep Nadira and her family in prayer. If you would, announce Walt’s homegoing in your congregations and pray prayers of thanks for him and his leadership, and for Nadira and the family. Thank you for doing this!

Mike Bradley, ARC Director
