I was so sad to hear of Joe’s passing. Joe and Jess were such sweet and dear friends and mentors. My prayers are with all of you. Their Christ light will always shine in the ones who knew them

Message from Randy Simpkins

Mr. Joe was a great friend and mentor for me. We shared a lot of trips and mission work time together. He was a much more patient man than me and worked tirelessly for the Lord.

I remember him quoting Psalm 1 to the children while we were in India. The first 3 verses of that Psalm reminds me of him.

Psalm 116:15 NKJV Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.”

May God bless and keep y’all.

Message from T.V. Samson Raj

Mr. Joe H. Rowe !
I have been personally blessed to work with him from 1989 till April 2016. He has been my elder and coordinator for India Evangelism. He is an inspiring spiritual father to me and taught me more things than I ever have learned from any one in my life. His exemplary life, adventurous memories are treasured and missed beyond measure for ever.

I humbly pray that his dreams to be carried out for ever and me to remain like him as more than a conqueror.

with deep love and my gratitude for all he has been to me and to the work in India,

T. V. Samson Raj, Hderabad, India.
