Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had
disappeared. Revelation 21:1, New Living Translation.
In many parts of the world, we are starting to see signs of new life after a winter of
cold, snow and ice. This winter has been especially challenging for many who have had to
endure storms one after another. The worst is over, and the weather is warming up. We see
colorful new shoots pushing their way up through the soil as the sun and warmer weather
shout out, “spring is here.” All things are new again!
Here at Quiet Hour Ministries, we’re moving ahead at full speed sharing saving grace
in every way we can. It is hard to believe we’re already a quarter of the way into 2010, four
months closer to the coming of Jesus.
We are thrilled to see God’s leading in our recent evangelism trip to Cuba led by
Pastor Bill and Jackie Tucker. Twenty teams shared the message of our Savior and called for
baptisms in nightly meetings. It has been several years since Quiet Hour Ministries has held
missions in Cuba and Pastor Tucker says it was “good to be back there again and see God at
work.” In this issue, we will share our vision for 2010. People of all ages will do their part
to take the good news to the whole world. College students, teens, whole families, senior
citizens – all will join together in dozens of countries around the world, bringing the gospel
to others.
Quiet Hour Ministries continues to support the use of aircraft as the only way to reach
some people groups. It is estimated that there are over 800 million people living in areas
accessible only by aircraft. We continue to send money to the Kodiak factory for our Papua
New Guinea airplane. We look forward to seeing this project through to completion.
Thank you so very much for your faithful support. It is because of your donations that
we know Jesus will soon appear and truly make all things new. 
to our first-time reader
The Echoes magazine’s purpose
is to share the success of the gospel
commission as carried out by lay people
and professional ministers, and to inspire
Christians to active service for Christ
by their hands-on participation, or by
donating to empower others to serve. The
articles are written to glorify God.
Quiet Hour Ministries is an evangelism
ministry which empowers people to fulfill
the Great Commission of Jesus Christ
(Matthew 28:19, 20). The Quiet Hour was
founded in 1937 as a devotional radio
program (our name refers to the devotional
time we spend with God); but the ministry
2
quickly expanded into international
evangelism and mission projects, most
with a healthy living emphasis. In 1949,
our television ministry was launched and
our current program, Windows of Hope,
is now hosted by Pastor Bill Tucker, who
follows a legacy started by J. L. Tucker and
LaVerne Tucker. In these pages, you’ll find
the components of our worldwide ministry:
devotions, reports on evangelism and
mission projects, and Quiet Hour resources.

Echoes
Pass it on
by Andrea Griggs
Do you remember the praise song
that was popular in the 1970s called
“Pass It On1?” When I was a girl at
summer camp, that song was requested
every night around the campfire. It
seemed to spread among the young
campers, refreshing our love and hope.
We sang it so much that even today
I think of this song when I see a
campfire.
As I contemplate the
words of that song, it reminds
me of another kind of fire.
I recall the planned fires that
burn across the tall grass prairies
each spring where I lived in
Kansas. The fires are amazing to
watch and just like that campfire
song, they have something to
spread. Prairie fires start with a
spark and spread quickly as the
flames are passed on from one
Echoes
Spring 2010
dry grass blade to the
next, soon covering acres
of land. The new grass
that grows after the fire is
tall, healthy and beautiful,
blanketing the landscape as
far as one can see.
The prairie burn
tradition began by Native
Americans long ago to
promote the growth of
new grass to sustain
the buffalo. Prairie fires are now
recognized as an important natural
management tool for maintaining
the grassland environment. The fires
remove old, dead grass and allow the
rapid growth of new grass for cattle
grazing. The nutrients in the old grass
are returned to the soil to fertilize
the new growth. In fact, the tall grass
prairie would not exist without the
occasional fire to prevent the spread of
trees and woody brush.
www.qhministries.org
devotional
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we
spread God’s love across the world like
a prairie fire? Just as fire removes old,
dead grass, God’s love chases away fear
and doubt and all the worries that can
keep lives dull, thus stimulating new
growth. Like the new grass that grows
after the fire, a new life with Christ is
stronger, healthier and more alive than
before.
If each person whose life is
changed by God’s love would “Pass it
On” to others, it really could spread all
over the world. It’s an exciting thought!
If you visit our Quiet Hour
Ministries offices, the first thing you
will see just inside the front door are the
words of Christ from Mark 16:15 to “Go
into all the world and preach the gospel
to every creature.” That reminder to
spread God’s love, is a vision that drives
everything we do. I feel so fortunate
to work for an organization that is
committed to sharing saving grace in an
active way with passion. Our philosophy
is not only to tell the story of Jesus, but
to also build communities of believers
who will continue to pass the story
along to others, spreading the gospel in
their local area and beyond. Just like a
prairie fire.
I look forward to work each day to
hear the reports from the hundreds of
teams of volunteer workers who spread
out over the globe each year. I am so
thankful for our financial partners who
support this mission work. When I hear
stories from them about answers to
prayer and blessings they have received,
my heart fills with the fire of the Holy
Spirit and I want to share my happiness
in God with others.
How about you? Have you had
a chance to share God with someone
lately? I invite you to pass it on. Share
with someone an answer to prayer,
or how God has worked in your life.
Everyone loves to hear good news, and
the joy you get in telling the story will
be even better! 

Quiet Hour’s 2010 Vision
by Charlene Hilliard West
HAVE YOU EVER had a “vision” about something? A new car?
Redecorating your home? The future of your children?
Exactly what is a “vision?” According to the MerriamWebster’s Dictionary, one definition of a vision (vi•sion) is, “a
thought, concept or object formed by the imagination.”
Many times my imagination comes up with great
concepts for how I would like a room in my home decorated,
or the plants that I want in my flower beds, or even how I
would like Sabbath lunch to be presented for our guests. Most
of the time my “visions” are obtainable and within reach.
Have you ever wondered if your “visions” were too
limited, too safe?
Recently the staff of Quiet Hour Ministries reviewed
the operating and strategic plans for 2010. During this
discussion it was mentioned that we need to dream better,
plan larger, and create wider visions, as we continue to keep
God in each plan. These conclusions made me re-evaluate
the vision of Quiet Hour Ministries. Our mission is “to
Echoes
Spring 2010
share the saving grace of a merciful God with the world by
preparing and supporting modern-day disciples and creating
communities of believers who build up the kingdom of God
on earth.” We believe that this mission drives every decision
and every project in which we become involved.
Is our vision large enough? Are we limiting God? Are
we limiting our friends and our financial partners – you?
We do have great plans for 2010 and I am excited to share
them with you!
We began this year with 10 teams, under the leadership
of Pastor and Mrs. Bill Tucker, in Cuba. What a multicultural place! Cuba, a communist country, has historically
prohibited the practice of religion. However, in 1991 this
prohibition was lifted and their constitution was amended
to characterize the state as “secular” instead of “atheistic.”
This has given Cuban church members a bit more freedom
6
www.qhministries.org
2010 vision
to share Christ with their friends and neighbors in preparing
for the February meetings. Many people accepted Jesus as
their Savior, and others joined small Bible study groups. More than 100, young and old, embarked upon a
massive YMA (Youth Mission Adventure) project in Las
Tablas, Panama. Nightly evangelistic meetings were held,
medical/dental/eye clinics were performed, children’s
Vacation Bible School programs were conducted and a
much needed church was constructed. It was because of the
excitement and passion of each participant that the project
was such a success.
The vision of Pastor Joedy Melashenko includes
a summer YMA project in Fiji at the Lautoka Primary
Seventh-day Adventist School. Approximately 100
participants will join the Melashenkos in evangelism
meetings, Vacation Bible School programs, medical clinics
and the continued construction of the school. It is a goodsized project with a price tag of $58,620.
Our vision for this year also includes sending more
than 208 college students from 16 colleges and universities
into countries such as Cameroon, Honduras, Ethiopia,
Rwanda, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Malaysia and
Zimbabwe. This project will require $310,960 ($1,495 per
student). These students will be sharing God’s love and His
message of hope and salvation through evangelistic meetings
on behalf of Quiet Hour Ministries.
Many times you have heard about our philosophy
of evangelism: SEEK, REAP and KEEP. The chapels and
churches that are built around the world are part of the
KEEP phase. For instance, we hope to raise funds for 20
chapels in Fiji, 20 “home churches” in Vietnam, several
chapels in Brazil, the completion of a church in Romania
and three chapels in Peru, along the Amazon Basin. In
addition, we hope to continue to place roofs on churches in
Ghana and Kenya. In order to make this happen, we need to
raise a total of $702,975. A large amount of money, but all
possible with God in our plans.
Our vision also includes helping many of God’s
children in various parts of the world: India, Russia and
Ethiopia. We plan to build another home or two in Ambo,
Ethiopia, to provide warm, clean beds, as well as food
and clothing for many of the homeless children. Russia
has hundreds of children that need food and clothing. In
addition, we have received requests for another Seventh-day
Adventist orphanage school in India. We need $150,000 to
complete this project.
Bibles are also needed around the world. We plan
to provide each newly baptized member with his or her
1.800.900.9021
own Bible, at an approximate cost of $6.00 per Bible. It is
estimated that more than 7,500 people were baptized in 2009
at Quiet Hour Ministries meetings held in 36 countries. This
equates to more than $45,000 funded in Bibles. Praise God!
For many years, funding airplanes has been an integral
part of Quiet Hour’s ministry. The Kodiak aircraft is number
53. In partnership with Adventist World Aviation, we want
to continue to place airplanes in countries needing valuable
air support. These planes will provide food and supplies
to missionaries living in very remote areas. Crucial in
emergency evacuations, these airplanes save lives!
Finally, we cannot forget our outreach to our Muslim
and Jewish friends. We are pleased with the amazing things
happening in various places around the globe. Adventists
and Islamic believers are studying the Bible and Qur’an
together, coming to an understanding that Jesus is our
Messiah and our Savior. We plan to continue providing
funds to several lay workers who are diligently working to
share His amazing grace.
So, you see, our vision is great! But our God is greater!
Can you see our vision? Are you willing to help us “share
the saving grace of a merciful God” to the world? As you
read through the articles and pages of this issue of the
Echoes, I hope you will clearly see our vision of hope and
decide to partner with us in our worldwide ministries. 

Echoes
Bibles
by Charlene Hilliard West
“The B-I-B-L-E,
Yes that’s the book for me,
I stand alone on the Word of God,
The B-I-B-L-E.”
This was one of my favorite songs
as a child in kindergarten Sabbath
school. I remember holding my own
Bible, a birthday present from my
parents, while singing the song. I also
know that I took for granted my Bible. In fact, we had many Bibles in our home
– some large, some small, some old,
some new.
It wasn’t until I was a bit older,
perhaps in my early teens, that I realized
that many people around the world had
never held a Bible, much less owned
one.
One of the many projects of Quiet
Hour Ministries is placing Bibles in the
hands of those who have decided to
become baptized; those who want to
study and learn more about Jesus. When
our teams go out into the field, part of
the amazing, life-changing experience is
to see people receiving their own Bible,
their first Bible.
Echoes
Spring 2010
When Quiet Hour teams leave
the mission field and return home,
the remaining church members must
continue to work with the newly
baptized church members. They need
to be encouraged and nurtured, making
them into disciples as commanded by
Jesus. There are still many Bible truths
to be learned and understood.
The Tombe Adventist Youth
Ministry in the Nyamira Conference
of Seventh-day Adventists, part of the
East Africa Union in Kenya, is a great
example of an active group making
disciples for Jesus.
In 2007, their church was involved
in evangelism meetings conducted by 20
Quiet Hour Ministries and ShareHim
teams. The local youth group became
very passionate about the ministry.
They went door to door, inviting and
encouraging people to attend meetings.
After observing how the team members
8
from the United States spoke and
prayed with the people, they decided to
continue this soul-winning project on
their own. At the close of the meetings,
they even took part in giving out Bibles.
Ronald Nyabinge, the director of
this Youth Ministry stated, “Distributing
Bibles to the newly baptized church
members was exciting for the youth.
Many of them had never even held a
Bible before.”
That day, the Tombe Adventist
Youth Ministry went into action. They
immediately began to give Bible studies
to their friends and neighbors, many
of them, learning the Bible truths as
they were teaching them. About three
months later they were ready to hold
a series of meetings, but they had
no evangelists. So they became the
evangelists.
Their next hurdle was obtaining
Bibles. Knowing that Quiet Hour

Spring 2010 Echoes
I write to you amongst the hustle and bustle of the airport in Havana, Cuba, and
a feeling of peace washes over me as I re-account the past 19 days. God has once again
successfully led our Quiet Hour Ministries and ShareHim evangelism teams through
a wonderful series of meetings, spanning 20 sites in and around the province of Pinar
del Rio. Our success was truly realized when we were witness to the largest baptismal
response in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Cuba­–­­195 baptisms were
performed and another 814 decisions were made for future baptisms. Praise God for what
He has accomplished through His Holy Spirit!
I want to thank each one of you for your prayers
and financial support. Thousands of lives were impacted
by this ministry because of your generosity. There are so
many stories to share from our time here. Stories of lives
transformed through the saving grace of Christ Jesus. Here
are just a few.
Eduardo, a former security guard for the city of Pinar
del Rio, attended most of our meetings. One night he
responded to our appeal. I asked each respondent to raise
his or her hand toward heaven and by faith touch the hand
of God. Eduardo later told us that he truly did feel the hand
of God touching his that night. He is now preparing for
baptism. Although he is a communist government official,
Eduardo is determined to let nothing stand in the way as he
moves forward with his walk with Christ.
Santeria is a fairly common religion in Cuba – an
eclectic blend of paganism and West African and Native
American spiritual traditions. Esperanza came to our
meetings with a 15-year history of spiritual searching and
Santeria observance. While wanting to break free from this
religion, she found it difficult to forsake such a large part of
her life. Esperanza was also warned that throwing away her
idols could make her go crazy or even die. Echoes
Spring 2010
Her life changed when she was given a flyer for our
evangelistic series. Upon entering the church – for the first
time in 14 years – Esperanza felt like she had finally come
home. Immediately, joy filled her heart. After attending a
few meetings, trusting in the true God of the Bible, she went
home and put all of her idols into a bag and threw them into
the garbage. That night she could not sleep, tormented by
evil spirits. Putting faith in God, she called out to Jesus for
help and soon fell into a very deep sleep. When she awoke
the next morning, Esperanza felt totally renewed and had
a sense of peace and joy that she had never experienced
before. With her whole heart she finally gave her life to Jesus
and began a new life through baptism.
A few months before the Quiet Hour Ministries/
ShareHim teams arrived, Monteagudo (Mon-te-ah-geedoe) Hernandez arrived home to find his father enraged
and fighting with his brother. Monteagudo intervened,
which made his father so angry that he picked up a can of
gasoline to throw. Trying to flee, the boy tripped and fell.
His father then doused him with the gasoline and set him
on fire. After being rushed to the hospital, his doctors
predicted that he had no chance of survival due to the thirddegree burns covering 80% of his body. Barely clinging to
life and in tremendous pain, the son began to ask God to
10
www.qhministries.org
worldwide evangelism
spare his life, promising that if God would do this that he
would serve Him the rest of his life. Monteagudo’s father
was now in police custody, facing up to eight years in prison
for the attempted murder of his son. Hearing the prayers
of the young man and members of his church, God healed
his burns. And after just 17 days he was released from the
hospital. He immediately dedicated his life to the Lord, just
as he had promised.
When his father’s trial date arrived, the judge asked the
boy what he wanted to have happen. Monteagudo requested
all charges against his father to be dropped. His father was
acquitted of all court charges and set free. Because of his
son’s mercy Monteagudo’s father was brought back to the
Lord in a very real and unexpected way. Both he and his
father came to each of our meetings. It was thrilling to see
how their faith was strengthened night after night.
Please continue to pray for our evangelism teams
around the world. Especially remember the young volunteers
of our Youth Mission Adventure program currently serving
in Panama. There they are constructing churches, classrooms
and parsonages during the day and sharing the saving grace
of Christ each evening.
Truly the Spirit of God is being poured out in a world of
turmoil and strife. There is such a tremendous thirst for the
good news of the gospel. Thank you again for your faithful
support of Quiet Hour Ministries. 

Jamaica Mission Trip:
Arrived volunteer dentist,
Departed passionate evangelist
by Dianne Fillman, D.D.S.
Maybe arriving at the airport in Jamaica
late at night and being the last in line through customs
isn’t such a good idea after all. With short lines that
appeared to be moving fast, I expected to just breeze
through like I usually do, but not this time. I saw a large
sign that read “If you are carrying pharmaceuticals you
must go through this line.” Since I didn’t think of dental
anesthetic as a pharmaceutical, I didn’t think it applied
to me. I have never had to declare dental supplies before.
Normally the customs agent asks questions like: “How
long do you plan to be here, are you here for business or
pleasure, or where are you staying?”
The agent looked me in the
eye and said, “What is in your
suitcases?” My reply, “Clothes, shoes,
cosmetics and dental supplies.” This
caused an immediate barrage of further
questions. What kind of supplies? What
do you plan to do with them? Where is
your permit? Where is the person from
the Health Ministry who was supposed to
meet you here?
An hour later we weren’t any closer
to a resolution. They finally asked for
a complete list of all of the supplies. I
asked for a pen and paper and made the
list while going through and removing
my clothes from among the dental
supplies, stuffing them into Noel and
Mary’s suitcases. The agent then told me
that I could come back and pick up the
suitcases when I had the permit in hand.
Echoes
Spring 2010

Needless to say, this was not the
best start to a mission trip, but it was a
great opportunity for God to show His
power. It took more than a week and a
lot of phone calls, but all the supplies
were finally released and we were still
able to complete a week of medical and
dental clinics.
While I spent my days chasing
down permits, helping to sort eye
glasses and puppets, shopping for
supplies, extracting teeth and preparing
for health talks, Noel was editing
and practicing his sermons. He was
scheduled to preach 19 sermons in 16
days and since he only had his software
for about two weeks prior to the series,
he was feeling pretty stressed. The
ShareHim boot camp he attended at
Standifer Gap several months before
www.qhministries.org
worldwide evangelism
helped him to know what to expect,
but all of the sermons still had to be
personalized and edited for length.
We arrived in Mandeville on Wednesday
night for orientation and made a quick
visit to our site on Thursday. The series
started on Friday night and was quickly
followed by two sermons on Sabbath.
Fortunately for us, our site was only
three minutes from where we were
staying. We were the last to leave each
evening and the first to get back after the
meeting. The intern pastor at our church
served faithfully as our transport.
We had a wonderful time getting to
know the pastors and church members.
More than 150 people assembled for
the first night of meetings. On Sabbath,
the church was filled to capacity with
more than 300 attendees. Gatherings
continued to average well over 100
each night even during bad weather
and heavy rain. There were 15 or more
visitors each meeting. Each meeting
began with a rousing song service,
followed by a warm welcome song,
health talk, children’s story and a
segment of the “Jesus Film,” followed by
special music and the sermon.
One night while lying awake,
rather than sleeping as I should have
been, I felt impressed that I would
like to give the altar call at one of the
meetings. I spoke with Pastor Donald
about it the next day. He felt it was
important to have the speaker give
the altar call. Noel quickly responded
by suggesting that I could preach the
sermon and give the altar call. Since we
hadn’t started clinics yet, I agreed to
preach on Saturday night on the subject
of baptism. I was able to use personal
testimony, and when I gave the call,
more than 30 people came forward to
dedicate or rededicate their lives to the
Lord…Wow! What a thrill to see God

We witnessed seven baptisms
and numerous decisions for Christ at
our site. The church in Knockpatrick
is very active in their community and
will continue to work with those who
are studying toward baptism. I was very
impressed with the enthusiasm of the
members at our church. They were very
well organized and performed special
music at each meeting. Boy, did they
ever like to sing! There were 10 evangelistic sites in
Mandeville and another 10 in Kingston.
We witnessed more than 300 baptisms.
God truly blessed our efforts in Jamaica!
Many lives were touched with the
gospel, not just at the meetings but
in the health clinics as well. The final
results will only be known when we get
to heaven where we hope to reconnect
with all of our new Jamaican friends. 

Do you have the
patience to witness?
by Heidi Guttschuss
have you ever questioned the importance of your life’s
witness? This story is a great example of how God can use our
unique life experiences to lead us to others in need of His guidance.
Have you ever wondered how long you have to wait to see the fruits of your labor?
Are you ever discouraged because it feels as if all you do is sow seeds of love and truth? It is
important to remember the verse, “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due
season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” Galatians 6:9, NKJV.
Eight years ago I met Pinar (name has been changed for privacy), a secular Muslim more
interested in getting ahead in life and making good grades in college than in spiritual issues.
Echoes
Spring 2010

building bridges
While mutual Muslim friends and I
often had great discussions about God
and faith, she remained indifferent.
There was nothing I could do but pray
for God to work on her heart. I did this
for almost two years.
Then one day out of the blue,
Pinar called me, sobbing. “I need help
from someone spiritual. Heidi, you’re
spiritual. Can I talk with you?” She
poured out her heart about the crisis
in her life and her spiritual emptiness.
I listened and did my best to minister
to her hurting heart. Pinar also shared
the pain and shock she felt when
friends from her own country had
refused to let her borrow a Qur’an in
their language, ridiculing her about
“becoming like an old grandmother and
getting all religious.” God prompted me
to recognize Pinar’s immediate need – a
Qur’an in her own language. It took me
only a few phone calls to track one down
and she received it with tears of joy and
amazement. “My Muslim friends from
my own country wouldn’t even lend me
a Qur’an, but you, an American and not
even a Muslim, have given me one!” She
was immediately open to my suggestion
that we study the Qur’an together and
thus Pinar and I embarked on a shared
spiritual journey.
Unbeknownst to me, she began
watching a Christian television channel
and was attracted by the clear teachings
from the Bible. One day she confessed,
“Heidi, don’t be mad at me, but I’ve
bought a Bible. Do you think that’s OK? Can we study it, too?” I assured her
that the Qur’an urges Muslims to study
the Bible if they have questions (Surah
10:94, 95) and so we began our studies
of the Bible.
As we studied, Pinar was
particularly drawn to the words of Jesus
in the Gospels. With deep emotion, she
explained, “The Qur’an talks about Isa
al-Masih (Jesus the Messiah), but in the
1.800.900.9021
Bible I can read His actual words!” The
compassion expressed by Christ touched
her heart deeply and she found herself
in love with the Savior. From that point
on, she began a new journey and is still
on one, as we all are.
I assured her that
the Qur’an urges
Muslims to study
the Bible if they
have questions.
(Surah 10:94,95)
Then an unexpected event
occurred that separated us for more
than four years. Many times throughout
those years I wondered how Pinar was
doing and what was happening in her
walk with God. I must confess having
some anxiety, for she was just a “babe”
in the faith. Imagine my joy, then, when
the other day I received a surprise
communication from Pinar. She filled
me in on how God has led her through
the years into a much
more mature faith in
Him and His Word.
In fact, if you were
to ask her about her
faith now she might
describe it this way,
“I am a Muslim
by culture and
will always have
that heritage,
but I love
Isa (Jesus),
peace be
17
upon Him! I know that He was sent from
God to reveal the Father to us, that He
died for my sins and was raised for me. I
know that we’ll see Him soon when He
returns again.” She has even found a local
Seventh-day Adventist Church where she
has worshipped over the past years.
Join me in praying that as Pinar
and I continue to grow together, He who
began the good work in us will bring it to
completion! Philippians 1:6.
So, how long will God wait? I am
convinced that God is willing to wait
and work behind the scenes in ways
that we have only begun to realize. Let’s
make sure that we are willing to keep
working as well! If you wish to join us
in learning how to share Jesus Christ
with Muslims in a way that they can hear
and be blessed, mark your gift “Enoch’s
Passion” and mail it today to Quiet Hour
Ministries, PO Box 3000, Redlands, CA

Remembering Oliver Johnston
by Jackie L. Tucker
Oliver Lawrence Johnston
August 25, 1917 – February 19, 2010
Oliver Johnston served in the Quiet Hour Ministries
Planned Giving Department after he had already retired two
times. He never stopped working; he just changed locations. Oliver truly had a pastor’s heart – he loved people and
enjoyed visiting and praying with people in their homes.
It was my privilege to be mentored by Oliver. When I
was a rookie at Quiet Hour Ministries he introduced me to
the world of planned giving. Because of his contacts, many
precious people chose to leave their assets to this ministry so
that the gospel story can continue to be shared around the
world.
Oliver retired from QHM just days before his 89th
birthday, after 21 years of service. He continued to promote
the ministry until he breathed his last. Our condolences
go to his beloved wife, Eunice, his sons, Larry and Robert,
and daughter Eileen. “Rest well, my friend; see you in the
morning.” 
Jackie L. Tucker is a planned giving associate/trust officer at Quiet
Hour Ministries.
Life sketch
Oliver Johnston was born into a loving family in Horine,
Missouri on August 25, 1917, the sixth of eight children born to Frank
Johnston and Emma Aff Johnston. His early life was filled with the
fun of a large family and the hard work of a dairy farm. He told many
stories of the happy times he enjoyed as a young man.
He also told of the hard work
involved in operating a dairy farm,
which included milking the dairy cows
by hand, twice a day! Over time, his
hands responded to the constant stress
of the exercise. If you ever shook his
Echoes
Spring 2010
hand, you had to be careful because he
had a strong grip, even on the night he
died, as Bob can confirm!
Oliver graduated from Hickman
High School in Columbia, Missouri, in
1936. There were few jobs available in
18
those days, and Oliver worked shocking
wheat, as a dairy hand, and also sold
aluminum cookware. Times were hard. In the summer of 1940 he was
the only surviving passenger in an
auto accident which killed his mother,
www.qhministries.org
in memory
younger sister Viola and younger
brother, Earnest. Earnest had been
studying for the ministry at Walla Walla
College. When Oliver began to recover
from his serious injuries, he decided
to follow his brother’s footsteps and
become a minister.
Oliver attended Union College
in Lincoln, Nebraska. He worked as
an auto mechanic and also sold books
while studying to be a minister. His eyes
fell on a beautiful young lady walking
by his dorm room window. Never one
to waste time, he found out her name,
asked her for a date, and on August 24,
1944, he married Eunice Skadsheim, just
one day before his 27th birthday.
After graduating from Union
College, Oliver worked as an intern
pastor in Texas, where he and Frank
Sherrill put up a large canvas tent and
led people to Christ. Oliver often shared
fond memories of the hard work that
went along with the life of a young
pastor.
It was while working as an
evangelist that both Eileene and Larry
were born. The joy of Eileene’s birth
remained with them always, and a year
later, they welcomed a baby boy, Larry,
into their lives.
In the early 50’s, the family
moved to Minnesota where Robert
was born. Then, as was typical of those
days, Oliver was given charge of three
churches in Michigan. During the
next 30 years or so, the family lived in
Gobles, Cedar Lake, Kalamazoo, Pierre
(South Dakota), Corona and La Sierra,
then back to Berrien Springs, Michigan,
where Oliver finished seminary and his
Doctor of Ministry degree at Andrews
University. Eunice was a guidance
counselor for the Niles Public School
1.800.900.9021
District, and Oliver served as pastor of
the Niles and Buchanan and Fairplain
churches, also the Lansing, Michigan,
church. After 40 years as a pastor in
Texas, Minnesota, Michigan, South
Dakota, and California, Oliver worked
as Director of Trust Services for both
Andrews University and later for Quiet
Hour Ministries, serving an additional
21 years. Oliver loved life! He loved to go on
driving trips, and he loved to spend time
at Eagle Lake, near Gobles, Michigan.
If he had a favorite spot on this earth, it
was sitting by the fire, watching the wild
ducks out on the lake. Oliver and Eunice loved to
entertain. They would quite literally
put on a pot of beans and invite the
neighbors over. To this day, Eunice
keeps five dining tables ready– three
inside, and two more out on the patio,
including a sturdy old picnic table – all
for serving the many lunch guests that
she and Oliver loved so much. Oliver loved to take long walks. He
loved gardening. Shortly before he went
into the hospital, he planted tomatoes.
He lived life fully, boldly, and joyfully. After his death, his daughter
19
Eileene found this prayer in his wallet:
Dear Father, when I pass away,
Perhaps there won’t be time to pray
For death may strike so suddenly
I’ll not have time to call on Thee.
So precious Lord, while I yet live,
Be Thou my Savior, cleanse, forgive.
Help me, Lord, to watch and pray
To serve Thee gladly, day by day.
To be at all times, by Thy grace,
Prepared to meet Thee, face to face.
Oliver is survived by his wife
Eunice Johnston, daughter Eileene
Madden, and sons Oliver Jr.–“Larry,”
and Robert, six grandchildren, and six
great grandchildren. He was loved by his
family and many friends, and together
with all of you, we look forward to that
bright day when we will all be with the
Lord, together, forever.
Beacuse of his passion for Quiet
Hour Ministries and its mission, the
family has asked donations to be made
to QHM in lieu of flowers. 

Planned giving:
a gift anyone can afford
It may come as a bit of good news that there is significant tax
relief available through certain types of planned gifts. Because of favorable
tax laws in our country, there are specific times and events in our lives when
your planned gifts can provide a great benefit to you and to the work of God.
Do you anticipate selling some real estate and face the possibility of a capital gains tax?
If you gift real estate to Quiet Hour Ministries, whether it is a farm, a vacation home,
vacant land, a rental unit, apartment complex or other commercial property, you can
realize personal financial benefits, avoid capital gains tax and still support the mission
of Quiet Hour Ministries.
Perhaps you are advancing in age and are tired of managing your income property. You
may wish to consider placing the property in a unitrust, which can provide a steady
income from the property as well as avoid capital gains on the appreciation of the
property. You’ll get a significant charitable deduction from the charitable gift portion of
your unitrust. The sale is not subject to gift tax and your taxable estate may be reduced,
with savings that can be used for spreading the gospel.
For additional and specific information about gift planning arrangements, please call
(800) 900-9021 and ask for Jackie or Viveca. 
