Clarence Reimer went home to be with the Lord, Wednesday, October 25th. He was born October 19th, 1922 in Steinbach, Manitoba. He was the youngest child of a family of 8, with 3 sisters and 4 brothers.
Clarence met Rosaline when they were 6 years old and later married in June of 1945. They enjoyed 61 years of marriage. He is survived by his loving wife, three daughters, two sons and daughter in law and families [survivors names omitted].
He attended Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska and received a Bachelor of Theology. Upon graduation he joined West Indies Mission, now known as World Team, at the Pennsylvania headquarters, for 13 years.
He served at King's Garden/CRISTA Ministries in Seattle as Vice President and President for almost 23 years, from 1965 till 1987. He oversaw a period of dramatic growth and change, which included the acquisition of Island Lake and Miracle Ranch Camps, the merger with Intercristo, construction of new buildings, including the 250 resident Cristwood Retirement Living, and nursing home facilities. He also built a new gymnasium, purchased new school buses, added an FM radio station, and led a new international ministry, Medicine for Missions, which grew to become World Concern. He shepherded the transition from the original "King's Garden" name to the current "CRISTA Ministries" acronym for "Christianity in Action". His outstanding service was recognized by Seattle Pacific University with an Honorary Doctorate in
1977.
He then was Vice President/President of ECFA, Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability, in Fairfax, Virginia, from 1987 till 2000. He continued to consult World Team and many other Christian organizations. Only the Lord knows how many lives were touched through Clarence's lifelong ministry and leadership.
