Raymond and Theresa moved to California in 2016 with a fellowship of
believers whose vision is to build homes for pastors to live in once they have
retired but want to continue to minister however they choose and are able for
the duration of their lives. They found that many non-denominational churches
do not provide this for these servants who have dedicated their entire lives to
other's spiritual well-being. Memorials may be directed to On Eagles Wings'
Ministries, 2298 Audrey Court, Fallbrook, CA 92028, or the charity of your
choice.
