Rev. Dr. Garry Eugene Milley
Rev. Lynn and Rev. Ruth Pinkston
Lynn and Ruth joyfully laboured together here on earth. Ministering side by side. Whether in official positions or as volunteers they invested in people and therefore into the kingdom of God. Even when Ruth was struggling with dementia she would often be found sitting with her eyes closed hands raised praying in tongues. Lynn was always quick to share God’s love to those who cared for them in the nursing home.
Lynn, less than 48 hours before his death, prioritized the spiritual need of his care giver over his own physical needs, and prayed with her. Sunday, before he died he told the nurse “I am going home.” When the nurse returned minutes later on May 8, 2022 he had entered the presence of the Lord.
Ruth joined Lynn, the love of her life, and entered the presence of the Lord on May 11, 2022, surrounded by her daughters, as they sang her into the kingdom.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Pinkston family.

At age 6 he committed his life to Christ and that became his life passion. Following graduation from Central Bible college in Springfield Missouri, he immigrated to Canada. He pastored churches in Walkerton, Collingwood, Woodstock, Midland, Guelph, and Brantford. In addition, he was administrator of Shepherd Lodge in Agincourt, worked in the Stewardship department for Every Home for Christ and iterant pastoring in several churches.
His love for people was evident with everyone he met. His kind, compassionate pastoral heart impacted many people. He had a special skill in ministering to individuals in their time of need.
