He is risen!!

How much have we given consideration to what happened 72 hours after our Lord and Master was placed in the grave? Christ promised that He would die AND be resurrected. The great promise that He was our Messiah was both in His death and His resurrection. As great and important as His death (Passover) is, the fact that He came out of the grave is equally important. Let's see just how important Christ's resurrection is to us as Christians.

Leroy (Lee) Cole (1939-2018) served in the ministry of Jesus Christ with his wife, Laura, for 52 years.

Mr. Cole was born and reared in the central Willamette Valley in Oregon. He was brought up in a Sabbath-keeping church. Being reared on a small farm gave him the opportunity for a broad range of knowledge and skills. He attended Ambassador College in Pasadena, California, after graduating from high school in Oregon, with a degree in theology and history. Leroy married fellow Ambassador College student Laura Jean Counts in 1962 and moved to Australia where he was ordained a minister. Leroy and his wife Laura pastored churches both internationally and nationally. Pastoring churches in Australia and Southeast Asia gave them great experience of travel and knowing how other cultures live. They returned to the U.S.A., along with their three daughters, in the fall of 1974. They pastored many congregations in the U.S. from the west coast to the east coast.
