It Is Finished — The Battle Has Been Won
On June 25, 2026, Gordon Anthony Edmonds entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Though our family mourns his passing, we are deeply grateful for the life he lived and the lasting legacy he leaves behind. We find comfort in knowing that Gordon is at rest with the Lord.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me on that day—and not to me only, but also to all who have loved His appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8

To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted. Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
