Long-Time Encompass Missionary, David Griffith, Home with Jesus

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the homegoing of former Encompass missionary, David Griffith, on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.

Dave and his wife Susan served faithfully as church planters in France from 1980–2019. Dave was beloved by many in the Charis Fellowship—both in the United States and France. He is remembered by former missionary colleagues as having been instrumental in the eternal salvation of many French believers. What a welcome he must have received in heaven! The use of his musical gifts to spread the gospel of Christ in his adopted country is also something for which he will be fondly remembered.

At Encompass, we appreciated Dave’s heart for Jesus and always admired his unwavering love for the French people. It’s our prayer that the Lord will raise up others like Dave to take His message of salvation to the least reached of our world. Please pray for Sue and the family at this difficult time.

Dave's life will be celebrated at 1:00 p.m on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at Redpath-Fruth Funeral Home, 225 Argonne Road, Warsaw, Indiana and officiated by Pastor Bruce Barlow. Friends and family may visit prior to the service from 10:00 AM–1:00 PM. A graveside service will follow at Oakwood Cemetery in Warsaw.
