William Lawrence McAllister passed away peacefully, at the age of 97, on Saturday, Sept. 3, 2016 at Rest Haven Nursing Home in Steinbach, MB.
Lawrence will be deeply missed by his four children, David (Debbie), Lawrence (Kay), Grace, and Ken (Eunice), as well as 11 grandchildren (and spouses), six great-grandchildren, his brother Jackson and two sisters, Francis and Sylvia.
He was predeceased by his dear wife and partner in ministry, Grace.
Lawrence was born in Windsor, Ontario on Aug. 5, 1919. Throughout his 97 years, he faithfully served his country and his Saviour. During WWII, he served in the Royal Canadian Navy. After the war, he committed himself to a life of Christian ministry, especially to children, with the Canadian Sunday School Mission (now One Hope, Canada). Canada is dotted with men and women who met the Lord through the ministry of “Uncle Lawrence” at a CSSM Bible camp. He was also a life-time servant with The Gideons, Canada. Upon retirement, Lawrence (and Grace) settled in Steinbach where he lived out his life of love for the people there. He also devoted much time and prayer to Southland Church and its many ministries.
A celebration service will be held on Friday, Sept. 9 at 1 p.m. at Southland Church, 190 Hwy 52 W, Steinbach, MB.
To honor Lawrence’s life and ministry, donations may be given to One Hope Canada, to The Gideons, Canada, and to Church Renewal.
