Allan carried a big and warm smile around the hospital. You could always call on him at work when you needed help. He will be greatly missed by his friends at the Royal Alex. We’re all remembering him and sending warmth and healing to his family.
For myself and my mother we are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear Brother in Faith. Evangelist Eriksson was with us from the beginning of the Edmonton Central Church. I remember him coming in with long hair open shirt with a necklace wondering what God was all about. He kept coming back and coming over to our home’ it was fellowships that brought us together. My father was the Rector of the congregation and eventually our brother Allan also became ordained after his sealing.
He would help out in the congregation visiting the elders; Tuesday Night Out Inviting on Wednesday Nights Church Services’ Saturday Evenings Brothers Meetings and Sunday Mornings and Evenings Divine Services. He and the other Brothers that are volunteers to do the Lords Work Freely. This is Not Common in the World today to have Administration Brothers as a Volunteer and then have a Day job to put food on the table and roof over their head.
God blessed our relationships throughout the whole family’s. We had such wonderful conversations about our faith about the promise about God and his Son. Allan was firm in the knowledge of knowing our faith; when we enter eternity Jesus doesn’t come right away’ Jesus mentioned he will go back to Noah’s time; all those souls had to wait for a very long time to be receiving redemption. I believe our dear Brother is doing a good work in helping the souls and gathering as it it written. God Bless you Evangelist Eriksson ; as that’s how I know you; and an Evangelist doctrine is was given by Jesus Ephesians 4: 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some,prophets; and some evangelists…..
Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.
You will be dearly missed.
