We met Bob Johnson and his wife, Jean, on our honeymoon as we were searching for a place to live near the Great Lakes Naval Base. That place ended up being a "cottage" on a wooded lot owned by the Johnsons. The story has many more amazing details, but in the end, we realized God had led us to this particular couple who through their loving, powerful witness made a profound spiritual difference in our lives.
Bob taught an interdenominational Bible study that consisted of Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans and one Baptist couple - Don and me. We have never met anyone who knew the Word and could teach in such an engaging way as this simple layman. We have loved him deeply. Our last visit was on his 80th birthday - we were among his surprise guests.
How wonderful to leave this earth still teaching and sharing the Good News through the ministry he founded "Christian Training Center."
