LONG-TERM MISSIONARY DAVID MEADOWS SUCCUMBS TO CANCER

SAO PAULO, BRAZIL (BZNS)- After months of fighting
cancer of the pancreas and lung, David Meadows, long-
term missionary and elder in the Guarulhos church,
died this morning around 8:30 a.m., according to
Sergio Nascimento, secretary of the Mt of Olives
Christian Camp.

Meadows had been hospitalized again on Saturday after
his condition worsened.

Funeral arrangements are incomplete, but Nascimento
indicated the body would likely be cremated.

At his death, Meadows was in his second two-year term
as General Director of the camp. He had initiated the
work in the city of Guarulhos, in the greater Sao
Paulo area, and served as one of two elders in the
congregation.

He was instrumental in the beginning of the National
Bible School and served as an assistant editor in the
initial stages of the forthcoming dictionary of
Biblical vocabulary to be published by Projeto
Alcance.

He is survived by his wife Sarah, four children, all
living in Brazil, and three (?) grandchildren.
