Summary

Have you ever been in the presence of someone, if only for a few minutes, who touched you so deeply that your life would never be the same? Who shared with you nuggets of wisdom and optimism for life in such a way that you would never forget? Kenneth George Old was such a man. As if serving as a missionary in Pakistan for thirty-three years wasn't extraordinary enough, God continued to use Ken even after he retired. Ken ministered through relationships, thought-provoking sermons, and even made-up stories for the children. Join Patty Old West in commemorating Ken's life-from a whirlwind romance to streams of visitors from around the world and the constant hand of God orchestrating a multitude of remarkable events. Ken's life was a kaleidoscope of activity. Wherever he went, whatever he did, he was able to reach out and touch others for God. Let Once Met, Never Forgotten share this same touch and leave you forever changed.
