In memory

In memory of Glenn Ingouf, my mother. 

On November 10, 2024, she passed through death into unimaginable joy and immeasurable peace. She rests now in the presence of her Savior, Lord, and King.

These are some personal thoughts I posted on January 23, 2022, when she celebrated her 90th birthday. I’ve added some recent updates.

She was one of the strongest, most determined women I’ve ever known. And funny. A devoted follower of Christ. And gifted teacher. Wife, mom, grandmother (Nani), and, just this year, great-grandmother.

Serving all across South America. For many, many years.

On our journey, we meet Chilean brothers and sisters in Christ. And hear stories. Testifying to the fruit of these servants who sowed seeds years ago and planted their lives. 

For the glory of God.

Our family is in America on stateside assignment at the time. And touring historic sites or natural wonders across several states. 

Then, one day, we’re standing in a large cave. 

Lights all around.

Until someone turns them off.
