On behalf of the Advancing Native Missions (ANM) staff and leadership team I want to offer our sincerest condolences and prayers for the Green and Mullins families.
Uncle Dave, as we all affectionately knew him, had a bigger than life personality. He lit up the room when he walked in and had a wonderful sense of humor that kept all of us in stitches. He loved Jesus with his whole heart and was filled with the joy of the Lord.
We thoroughly looked forward to Uncle Dave and Aunt Peggy showing up at ANM in their RV. They were servant hearted volunteers who blessed and encouraged everyone they met, including our staff and missionaries. Uncle Dave, always smiling, was willing to lend a helping hand to anybody with any project no matter how big or small.
We will miss seeing Uncle Dave here but we know that he has received his eternal reward; "Well done good and faithful servant."
With much love,
Oliver Asher
President, ANM
My heart is saddened to hear about the passing of my dear, sweet & long-time high school Friend, David Green. David was not just a Friend, he was my Brother. As Sumner County High School classmates in Portland, Tennessee we enjoyed every minute of that journey. We worked together after school and on week-ends at Consumer Drug Store for four years. And, we shared our walk with Christ at First Baptist Church in Portland. All sweet and abiding memories of a young "Man of God" who demonstrated "Christlikeness" in all his ways! I look at David's picture and I see his Dad and Mom, such gentle and loving people. I am remembering so many times in their home with Dan and Donna.
My heart goes out to his sweet and adoring wife, Peggy. I was privileged to meet her at a class reunion several years ago, encounter their beautiful love relationship, and learn of their travels and ministry together. My thoughts and prayers go to all the family in this great loss and as you celebrate David's life. I would love to be there if not for the long distance.
I look forward to being reunited with David and so many more when Jesus calls me home! In loving memory of a dear Friend!
