King Solomon wrote, “I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.” Dustin was a prince!  A prince that performed his duty in the humility of obscurity.

A labor of love is sometimes unnoticed by those who benefit by it.  This is not necessarily because they are ungrateful people but just that they are uninformed of the benefactor behind their blessing. God has elected a few people who can make a great impact without getting noticed. DUSTIN was one of those few and we were graced by God for his partnership and friendship in the service of our Savior.

His labor within AGMA and his wisdom that pushed it off of the shores of wishful thinking, into the wilderness of an overwhelming need, could not be even remotely disclosed.  Only the Lord knows what all he helped us achieve in such a short time.

His unselfish vision and methods helped forge our culture and collective contributions to be more Christlike than they would have been without him. He was fiercely “kingdom first” oriented and diligent in stewarding God’s resources.

To say that he will be missed would be an understatement.  We loved him and he loved us.  He will be rewarded! And he has definitely rewarded us by all he has done to help us do God’s bidding, with the little time he had left.

He was truly great in the sense that Jesus said we must be, and so for that we are forever indebted to the seeds he has helped us plant and the rows he has helped us plow. The Lord of the harvest will give him his reward, because there is no earthly way we could repay his work. Our hope and prayer is that God will raise up more men like him.

He saw that the harvest is yet great, but the labors are still few, and instead of wishing for others to step up, he did his diligence to decrease the load that exists for the few laborers as much as he possibly could. He was a man who refused to think small, but instead wanted to participate in fulfilling the commission of His Lord and Master, “to go into all the world!”

We are committed to continuing to pursue the vision that Dustin was wholeheartedly engaged in and we will continue to steward the legacy for the Lord that he so diligently worked to achieve. Because of Dustin’s great service we will be able to continue making a Christ glorifying impact around the world.

May God bless and keep Dustin’s family and the incredible legacy he leaves behind.
