Kif Anderson passed away this last Thursday, Oct 25th in the morning after battling cancer. We have all lost a brother and a friend. But his legacy will live on through his many projects, written words, and those he encouraged and mentored. This coming Friday will be the funeral, but it will not end there. As Kif always said... it is about the message. The message still needs to go out. We still need to be very creative about sharing that message. So be creative, come up with new ideas, and go unto all the world and live the gospel... he did until the very end.

Blessings to you. If you want to pass onto the family any stories, words, pictures, etc. Please email them to me at

Hugs to you all.... Oz

+In the Name of the Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen. Christ our eternal King and God, You have destroyed death and the devil by Your Cross and have restored man to life by Your Resurrection; give rest, Lord, to the soul of Your servant Kif who has fallen asleep, in Your Kingdom, where there is no pain, sorrow or suffering. In Your goodness and love for all men, pardon all the sins he has committed in thought word or deed, for there is no man or woman who lives and sins not, You only are without sin.
For You are the Resurrection, the Life, and Repose of Your servant Kif, departed this life, O Christ our God; and to You do we send up glory with Your Eternal Father and Your All-Holy, Good and Life-creating Spirit; both now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen+

Let it be known that I AGREE WITH VLAD!

Amen. We have a hope and a confidence in Him who sits on the Throne. Kif will be missed here, but we rejoice that He is now in the presence of our Lord and Savior.

I do not know if the new "Chocolate Fund" with the FCM would be an appropriate way to remember Kif- my guess is the January/February issue of the "Voice of the FCM" will have details on ways to honor Kif's memory either through the FCM or through his family directly (or through Gene). As Kerry said, words cannot express...

It came as a shock to many of us. While we feel sadness and mourn he will no longer be with us, we are comforted in the prmises of the Lord, especially in the promises given to us that at the end "tears will be no more".

Rest in peace with your eternal Father.

Sad to read this. May God grant His peace and comfort to those who mourn his passing

A sincere thank you to Kif's church for allowing the web broadcast of Kif's funeral - it was a tremendous God honoring tribute to Kif from his family and friends. The cheerful stories told were wonderful examples of a well lived life and an inspiration to fellow believers/FCMers everywhere.

The latest "Voice of the FCM" is now online at the http://www.fcm.org web site. Tributes to Kif can be sent to editor@fcm.org for publication in the next issue.

So sorry to hear of this! Just learned of it from "The Linking Ring" last night. But I bet he wouldn't trade his new home for anything. We'll see him again.

Amen Matt! I have never met Kif, but through his postings here on the Café, and reading the kind words about him here, I truly wish I had.

Eternal Rest grant unto Kif, O Lord, let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
