We care, Kerry and family. It was always delightful to meet you and Harold at FEBC Conventions and/or workshops. Your love for our Father shone, and surely He will keep on pouring His love into you at this time when “until later” is hard to bear.
Our deepest condolences, Kerry and family. We got to know you and Harold and your 3 delightful girls in Regina and have remembered you often. I heard about the passing of Harold on a post of Shirley Lewis who is my Harold’s cousin. We only met Shirley a few weeks ago which is another story. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Our deepest condolences, Kerry and family. Harold was a joy to be with. As missionaries with Avant, I still remember Harold taking us to the soccer game while we were living our furlough year in Kansas City. He was a fun loving person and he had a passion for God and especially for the people of Russia. He will be missed.
We will keep you in our prayer and may God give you his peace and strength at this new season of your lives.
Deepest sympathy and prayers for the Peters’ family. Harold Peters was ‘Uncle Harold’ to me and the GMU MKs from Mali. He and Aunt Kerry, when they lived at the Tiefala station, would always welcome and feed us on our way to ICA in Cote d’Ivoire. I remember their house and there was always a warm welcome. Uncle Harold was fun, made us laugh, was always kind. He and Aunt Kerry are part of my best memories of Mali. Well done good and faithful servant. Praying for all the Peters’ family to find comfort in the Lord during this time.
