A MAN OF GOD – WENT HOME TO WALK WITH THE LORD ON MAY 3, 2013
Don was instrumental in the founding of LAMb International along with his wife Johanna Buchman, Lynn Johnston, and Ruby Johnston. He moved on to be the foundation of the legal work, the documentation, editing, and carrying out the role of President of LAMb USA. He carried out duties of leadership, guidance and development. Together with Johanna, the USA team moved the ministry of LAMb from 2002 to the present.
After an accident in 1989 left Don with quadriplegia, he moved on in life to serve in ways that touched many. With numerous hospital stays, his life became a witness to others of how God restores everything – even in the midst of what man may say is a tragedy. He was a man of God, a teacher, a trainer, a counselor, a mentor, a coach, a writer, the head of his family, a brother, a role-model, a sports fan, a father, grandfather and husband.
Johanna, Don’s wife has walked side-by-side in the ministry of LAMb International with us. Many times we four (Don, Johanna, Lynn and Ruby) have laughed and cried together at the honor it has been to be called to serve in His work…to be received into the family of God as missionaries. We know we are such a “motley” crew. Age, body limitations. Yet all He really asked of Don was just to be obedient.
The obedience was given. The race was run. The journey completed. And today Don’s healing is complete.
Don – we your team – your family will miss your earthly presence and involvement with our team. Yet your influence will never be far away.
LAMb International celebrates your life!
