Praising God for Alec Motyer
We were sad to learn of the passing to glory of Alec Motyer a couple of weeks back. Alec was a good friend to us at PT and a personal mentor to David Jackman who was so instrumental in the formation of the Trust. Indeed, if you have ever heard David on Isaiah, you’ve heard Alec. “Everything I learnt about Isaiah, I learnt from him”, David used to say.
He also spoke for us at conferences and helped out with various things around the place. I sometimes tried to coax him out of retirement and he would always courteously decline with a polite but twinkling letter. His replies are the only ones I ever kept for any time. You could almost hear his chuckle as he typed out the words.
He will be sadly missed, but his life and ministry were a great example to us all, not least in the love and care he showed for his people, his students and his family. Thank you Lord, for Alec.
