Tom Walker, pictured here with one of his daughters Kath Cooper, will soon have attained a massive 70 years in the Elim ministry.
Although physically not as mobile as he once was his intellect is as sharp as a pin and Gordon Neale (pictured right) and I enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon with him as he reminisced about times gone by as well as showing an acute interest in what is happening in the Movement today. He committed his life and energy to Elim during the years he was a pastor, Executive Council member (NLT), Field Superintendent and General Superintendent. As we approach our centenary celebration his name will be numbered among our most significant leaders and someone who, under God, was used by him to bring immeasurable blessing and guidance to very many people.

Such a lovely man. I remember when he came to our church with his wife many years ago.
We were very sorry to hear the news that Pastor Tom Walker had passed on to be with his Lord last Saturday. He was our pastor at Clapham Elim Church some 50 odd years ago and also a tutor when we were at Elim Bible College in the mid-1970's. With our condolences to his family.
