Ben was a huge part of my life as he prayed for my healing beginning in my late twenties and prayed for me to have a child. I did miraculously have a child and received many healings and the holy spirit due to his prayers for me. He never gave up on me, phoning me every week and as I got better, every month, then a few times a year. Part of our story is mentioned in the book "Light the World" the Ben and Helen Eidse Story as told to Faith Eidse. He always called on my daughters birthday March 1st. We were privileged to have him in our home for supper a few years back. The last time he phoned a couple of years ago he asked if I would like to receive the gift of healing for others and I hesitated. I do regret not asking him to pray that gift on me. I will be 50 soon and that his how long Ben has been in my life. I am sorry not to be able to go to the funeral. Prayers and love to the family. - Posted by: Janet Currie (friend) on: Apr 29, 2018

To Hope, Faith, Charity and Grace, I know you will miss this giant of a man who wore his greatness so humbly and shared his love so gently. Love to you all. Marlene - Posted by: Marlene Schellenberg (Sister-in-law to Charity) on: Apr 28, 2018
