I heartily concur! The service was a powerful tribute to a great Spirit man. Hearing more stories than I ever knew of his undying service was very inspiring. And the service was wonderfully crafted — great hymns, perfectly appropriate readings. Thanks Paula and Brooke for letting us know about it. Seth T.

Hello, The memorial service today for Mike Tippett was such a beautiful tribute to his life of service. We give thanks to God for his amazing model of love and care for not only his dear family but anyone in need: students, neighbors, friends, strangers, whomever.

Thanks for the reminder to view this today on what would have been his 87th birthday. Well worth our time and the special memories evoked.

Grace, peace and love, Jack and Louise Ballard

What wonderful people we have known. Now Mike, Judith, and Meg have all passed into the stars. Mike and Judith were our most faithful colleagues when I was in the Cleveland house and he cared for all of us for so many years through the directory. Glory be.

Yes, indeed. I just spent an hour or so participating in this wonderful memorial service. It evoked memories from Joe’s and my first meeting this amazing guy, guardian for the Consult in Bananeiras, Brazil, and such a powerful, missional man. Mike was one of a kind. I will miss him desperately, as we all will.
