Dear Mrs Smith,
A man of God gone home after his work is done. Praise the Lord! Our prayers is that we will meet again when our time is done on this earth. I know you are filled with peace knowing he has safely arrived. Yes, you will miss him but the wonderful memories will sustain and keep you till it is God's appointed time for you. I came to know about your husband through reading his book on The Divine Exchange and learnt of his passing when i googled his name to know more of him. I cannot express my deepest thanks for the insights shared in this book and i am just so thankful to the Lord for men such as your husband for putting to paper the deeper things of God's word which has so enriched my walk with the Lord as i seek for a deeper knowledge of the Creator.
Love from a sister in Christ.

Dear Susan: Stelman led my husband to the Lord on December 24, 1973 in his patrol car. A few weeks later I gave my life to Jesus as well and our lives were changed forever. God has used us to do many great things for Him, reach others for Christ, and we will never forget Stelman, who shared with my husband the greatest gift of all. So sorry to hear of his passing Will see him in heaven one day. You and your family are in our hearts.
