Many of us know Roberts Liardon. He s a great friend of Kensington Temple and has visited many times. Less well known to us personally, but playing a vital role in his ministry is his mother, Carol, who passed away earlier this month.

Born in the months before the USA joined the Second World War, Carol she witnessed firsthand the glory of God in various moves of his Spirit, including the remarkable ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman who brought one of the great revivals of healing across the United States of America.

Together with her mother Gladoylene, Carol laboured in prayer and faith to lay a strong spiritual foundation for her children, Roberts and Priscilla. Today they both travel the world carrying the good news of the gospel, leading people to Christ and strengthening them in the Christian faith.

Many from KTLCC answered the call to pray for Carol following her operation in December and gave generously towards her treatment.

We pray for Roberts, Priscilla, and their family as they celebrate Carol’s remarkable life and say their earthly farewells this weekend.
