“That’s one reason I like Jack, really admire him, because he stood the test, and I mean he stood right there with the wife and about four kids, live or die, sink or swim or starve..”

“And he got one of the best churches in America. And he stands right alone, he knows all the tricks of the trade. And he doesn’t sell his church down the river for any one person or persons, because he’s obligated. Not his family or anybody.”

It was an honor to call him Pawpaw, but the greatest honor was calling him my Pastor. He lived What he preached and was such an amazing example of how we should live our lives. There was no love of money, he trusted God for everything. He will forever be my example and I’m proud to be apart of his flock.
With Deepest Sympathy to the Bell Family,
May you find strength in shared memories
and may his spirit guide you through the difficult days ahead.
What a timeless Christian man, who taught us, by example, how to live for others. In the face of adversity or in times of happiness, he was the same, he simply trusted in God. You knew where you stood, based on how you stood with him. He was a lover of God’s Word, but he was not a compromiser, nor was he a hypocrite, or a quitter. He was shining light and unparalleled example of your post of duty was not for just as long as everything was going well or going your way. He was my pastor. If you didn’t know him, your loss was immense. If you knew him, your responsibility to how you listened to him was even greater. Words can’t express my gratitude to God for placing my life in his path. I counted him the dearest of friends. If you went to church with him, you knew what the definition of a friend really was. He was someone who wouldn’t lie to you, who did more for you than you could ever do for him, with no agenda except one, living for God. The loss is great but his reward greater. I got to tell him I loved him many times, but I still could not even fully express the depth of what all that meant. Eternity will be a nice place to try. We love you Sis Bell and family. God bless you.

One of the finest men I ever met. A true Christian.
We are deeply saddened to hear of Bro. Bell’s passing. We pray God will give each of you what you have need of to sustain you during this time.
