I’m at Emmaus Bible College’s Iron Sharpens Iron leadership conference and had the opportunity to share memories about Bert and Colleen with Jim Fleming. Jim and his wife Sharon served with Bert and Colleen in Peru.
Jim: Bert and Colleen are some of the favorite people we’ve had in our lives. GIlbert: And you always knew they loved you. You always knew they loved you. Jim: And they loved everybody. … They loved me because… Gilbert: You were you. Jim: I was a human, and they loved every human.
Thank you, Jim. You can read similar stories and the depths of Bert and Colleen’s love in Love So Amazing: The Missionary Biography of Bert and Colleen Elliot.
