Joe Brooks: A Mighty Man of Faith

This weekend, we, along with many friends and family, will remember the legacy of my father, Joe Brooks. Dad concluded his long battle with cancer yesterday, and is now enjoying God's awesome glory in heaven.

Dad was a man who was strict in his integrity, abundant in his love, and fiercely loyal to his friends and family. But if we are to zero in on Dad's one ultimate passion, it would have been his desire to see others know Jesus. As a missionary and associate pastor, he spread this news to anyone who was willing to listen.

He preached his final sermon on Palm Sunday, April 9, 2006. Although his body was riddled with cancer and weakened by the chemicals of chemotherapy, he sat before the congregation at Beulah Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida and delivered a powerful, 45 minute message.

You are invited to listen to some of these last recorded words of my father. Even though he is no longer here on Earth, his message still applies to all of us.
