To honor the memory of our late Pastor General Joseph W. Tkach, who died of cancer Sept. 23, we have prepared this tribute issue, beginning on page 5.
His eyes firmly fixed on Jesus Christ as the head of the church, Mr. Tkach with godly love and tireless hands stirred the Worldwide Church of God to reach out to those in need. He urged members, families and supporters to advance and stand strong together.
"The Holy Spirit is clearly at work throughout the church, leading us into greater faith, into greater love for our Lord and Savior and into greater commitment to doing his work in the world," he wrote in August.
Mr. Tkach forged our fellowship into a greater spirit of service as beacons burning brightly in a world in need of Jesus Christ.
We invite you to share the life of Joseph W. Tkach through these pages of historical photographs, milestones and comments from ministers, members and friends of the church.
