He was killed instantly. McDougall died later in the hospital. Churchill, hospitalized for frostbite, was led to the Lord by Moore's home church pastor, Fred V. Brewer, of the Lamar Baptist Church in Greenville, Texas. Other missionaries would die on the field. He was our first.
All missionaries are quietly heroic.
Some have unquestionably great accomplishments to their credit as well. Years later, our Fellowship would consider Philippine missionary Bob Hughes to be one of those. After spending 20 years on the field, reaching 18,000 each week from a central church, overseeing 25 churches, a Bible college, a TV and radio ministry and distributing hundreds of thousands of Bibles, he was struck down with cancer in 1975. We come and go. The work goes on.
