After more than 40 years of ministry in places all around the world, Larry DeArmey was presented with the 1st ever Relentless Pursuit of the Least-Reached Award. Encompass Executive Director Dave Guiles was pleased to grant Larry this special recognition at the Focus Retreat.

The award is given only to an individual who has demonstrated a lifetime of outstanding service in evangelism, discipleship, and training leaders for the sake of reaching the Nations. In light of Larry’s extensive ministry experience in France, Spain, Chad, Haiti, and the U.S., there was no better man for the title.

Going along with the retreat’s theme Apprenticeship, recognizing Larry’s ministry with Encompass was a great opportunity to demonstrate to all the leaders present what a true life-long mentor looks like.

All of us at Encompass World Partners congratulate Larry for his work and wish him the best in his retirement.

“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your heart and establish you in every good work and word.” –2 Thessalonians 2:16–17
