A Son's Legacy: Stories of Love and Faith with Barbara E. Kompik- Dear Dale"

On this episode, I am with Barbara E. Kompik. She tells an incredible story about her son who died at age 31 when his life was just beginning to take shape. He was a man of personal devotion and commitment to his God. He ministered to thousands of people on his own all by himself around the globe. He did this simply by buying cups of coffee for strangers in coffee shops in the city he lived in. He then would ask them to join him and sit and talk about their struggles in life. As their conversation ended, he asked them if he could pray for them and they generally said yes. He would prophesy over them. And he would lead them to Jesus. When he died, there were 400 people lined up in the hospital outside his room to pay their last respects to him. The church where his family had its celebration of life service was filled to the brim and had people sitting on the floor in front of the podium and lined the walls. There were probably more than a thousand people there. He touched lives simply and profoundly. Barbara has written four books detailing her diary during his illness of 6 weeks with pneumonia which turned septic. About the author: Barbara E. Kompik is a mother of three beautiful children.
