Pastor Joel,
We had a chance to visit with Bro. Roy when we were there in January! What a dynamic encounter with a great man of God. In sitting with him I know we were sitting with a true Father in the faith. His wisdom and counsel continues to echo through our church.

Many years of blessing be with him and with you!

I’ll never forget the day I got out of my car and heard the singing from what is now the old gym. I was greeted by a man with a big smile and escorted to the altar where they had put out chairs ….. the place was packed! What a way to go into your first Holy Ghost service. I was sitting almost under the pulpit!! What I heard that day stirred my heart and made me realize that it was possible to actually know the Lord as a personal friend as well as savior. There is none so precious as the one who teaches you how to walk with the Lord. Bro. Roy and Sis. Ruth are priceless saints to so many. It would take pages to tell of their love for the lost and the body of Christ as well. It was a joy to attend Bro. Roy’s Birthday week end and to see how God is still using him.

I have so many wonderful memories of Sis. Ruth … she was my mentor and my friend. I will always miss her.

Happy Birthday to a man of true wisdom and compassion for souls. I thank God for leading me to the leadership of such a fine vessel for his children.

Even though I have not personally met Brother Roy, his life has been an inspiration to me as a pastor. He has shown integrity to the highest degree so that it’s now wonder that your dad, Pastor Larry, is leading The Remnant Conferences each year and has written the book of the same title. My favorite “story” of Brother Roy has been when he was on a ladder painting a building and a prospective staff member came along, looking for him. Brother Roy offered him a paint brush! That is leading by example!

I began attending Bethany with my mom at the age of 5 (1975) when Bro. Roy was the Pastor and Bro. Larry was a lanky teenager! I remember hearing Bro. Roy preaching and remember how sweet Sis. Ruth always was. How I loved this couple, and then, when Bro. Larry and Sis. Melanie took over, I fell in love all over again with the new generation when I attended with my Uncle Richmond and his family. What a legacy! The Stockstill Family and Bethany have been a part of my life for 35 years now. I was heartbroken when I had to move to Texas because I was leaving Bethany. Imagine my joy when the church we began attending later came under the mentorship of Bro. Larry! Small world! A VERY Happy Birthday to my first spiritual father, Bro. Roy.

Hey Bro Joel,
I met your dad for the briefest of moments when I visited with Ps Jack Hanes some years ago. If I had known more then, I would have tried to find any opportunity to talk with him. What a legend!!

What a legacy! And what spiritual heritage! To those of us with great spiritual heritage we owe it to those saints to continue the race they ran faithfully til the end, and to those of us with a rich heritage, we have the oppurtunity to create a legacy for a future generation! Regardless – run the race that is set before you and run as one who intends to win!!!

Blessings

I am truly blessed to be at Bethany! I Never thought nor was taught that i could live like you mentioned above until I came here. I realized on Sunday because of one mans decision, others can learn to do the same. Thank you Bro. Roy! I have been truly blessed! ” Go after the call of your life…Run after it with all your might and one day someone will be running right along with you.” ~Roy Stockstill
