A Tribute to Dr. Sisk

If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven; you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world. Don Sisk knew he was a citizen of Heaven that finished his journey on July 5,2026. Another great man of God has gone to be with his Lord Jesus Christ. I met Dr and Mrs. Sisk over 50 years ago and many members of Hazelgreen have great memories of this wonderful family, People who knew him are still here such as Shirley. Kennith, Jackie, Helen, Sherry, Anita ,Kenny Atkison, Dorothy, Walt, Sheila, Theda, Pam, Mavis , Sam, Bobbie, Devona,Olena,Dale sorry if I missed anyone. The Sisk’s were some of the first missionaries Hazelgreen supported for the mission field. John C Reed, Ken Atkison and Don Sisk attended Calvary Baptist Church Bible School in their younger days. Dr. Sisk and his family went to BIMI and organized a Baptist Church in Japan which is still winning people to Christ Today!

Dr. Sisk was a true hero of faith for over 70 years. I share this with all of you today because keep supporting missionaries because you have fruit of human beings who are won to Christ in places around the world. Dr. Sisk loved Hazelgreen Baptist Church and rejoiced when we would tell him that the mission program was open again. In closing, the night after that my wife Sheila went home to be with Jesus, I received two calls I never will forget. One was from Dr. Sisk telling me loved me and Hazelgreen. We spoke of the reunion in Heaven one day and said never stop the mission program. He reminded me finish the race that I have. Doctor Sisk has finished his race and would tell all of you, don’t quit!! Serving Jesus Christ and obeying the call to support missions pays eternal dividends.

See you in the morning, Dr. Sisk!!
