A yielded vessel for God to work through.
Tilly LaPone has always been, "A Mother of Prayer". Faithfully she prayed for her son's to follow the Lord, witness for the Lord, and have a close and intimate relationship with the Lord. Her many prayers were answered when her youngest son, Earl, gave his life to Jesus Christ and began Evangelizing across the United States.
Even as Tilly stayed in NY with her other sons, friends, and church family fighting her greatest battle, cancer, she insisted Earl continue to Evangelize and reach souls.
It was an emotional and spiritual battle being away from his Mother, but Earl knew he was to follow after God and do His agenda, not his own.
It was the first day of a 6 day event in another Truck Stop in Columbus, TX. when the phone call came that Tilly had gone home to be with the Lord. We had served many already that morning and there stood before us again, another group of souls to witness to, show God's love to and share what PAID4U was all about.
I watched as Earl calmly spoke a few words to his brother before hanging up the phone and then turned and whispered to me, his wife and partner, " lets help advance the kingdom of our King." We served 200 people that day and 500 people that entire week.
For me, I got a glimpse of a yielded vessel and one who truly was walking out the scripture in Mark 12:30: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength through Earl LaPone.
