Terry meant alot to my Dad & my whole family. They are
up in Heaven discussing roofs, gardens & hunting.We will really miss him.
Terry was a wonderful, kind and caring man. I feel truly
blessed to have known him and will miss him. I know he is in heaven watching
over us now.
Dear sister Nancy and Madison,
Upon hearing the news of the passing away of our beloved friend and benefactor brother Terry, our hearts are sad and at the same time, comforted. Sad in the sense that our dear brother Terry has gone ahead of us. We will be missing him. But comforted because we know our dear brother Terry is now in good Hand. He is with our dear Lord Jesus, no more pain, no more suffering, and no more death.
One thing more, we will see him again in heaven. When the time comes that our Lord will also take us home, brother Terry will be there to meet us, and we will enjoy fellowship with him again, and most of all, with our Lord Jesus.
All the Aeta children, youth, staff and pastors in the Aeta Children's Home in the Philippines extend to you our heartfelt and sincere condolences. Your loss is heaven's gain. We love you in the Lord. We are praying for you. God's presence comfort you in this time of sorrows. God bless.
Sincerely in Christ,

Dear Nancy,
Terry's vigor, strength in the midst of weakness, and joy in the Lord while facing terminal cancer was an inspiration to all of us. Though I don't think we ever met, he was on our daily prayer list. Jo Ann and I are glad we got to meet him at the Retreat last year. We continue to pray God's peace and blessing upon you and your family. You have been heroes standing by him through these months and years of testing.
Dear Nancy,
I can not begin to find the words to express how much your dear husband has meant to me personally. As director of the Construction Teams Ministry for Advancing Native Missions Terry has encouraged me, prayed for me, advised me, helped with projects we were doing in the Philippines but above all he has been a true friend. He will be greatly missed.
I shall never forget setting across the table from you and Terry at the Retreat last year and seeing his broad smile and enjoying his great sense of humor enjoying his jokes and seeing wonderful positive attitude.

Greetings
in Jesus Name our Lord God and Savior,
My family
were sorry to hear the passing of our beloved friend BrotherTerry. We prayed for
him and your family. But on the other hand we are happy for him because he feels
no pain anymore though for those of us left behind we still feel the pain of
loss. Thank God he is with Jesus now. I like to believe that when we lose
someone close to us they still live through us and give us strength and the time
we have spent with those we've lost make them part of us. He will be greatly
missed. My prayer is that, may your sorrow be a bridge not a barrier to the
people who love and adore you. Please know that you are in our thoughts. Our
condolences to you and to your family.

Dear Nancy,
You and the family will continue to be in my prayers. Terry's love and obedience to Christ Jesus and His people will echo through the nations for many years. Yesterday we were blessed to have the Ladringan's with us from the Aetas Bible Study Center, Philippines. His love for the children of Aetas the most dispised people group in the Islands as impacted 100's of these children, many who have come to faith in Christ. Your love and faithfulness in standing with Terry enabled him to be the blessing he was.
We all will greatly miss your beloved. He was alway joy to have among us. No one I've ever known could make you smile and laugh so easily. Texas will be a sadder place without our brother!
Your Brother in Christ,
Carl
Dear Sister Nancy,
Our dear Brother Terry was a very special and unique vessel of God. He was used of the Lord to impact so many lives with his love, his generosity, his tenacity, his work ethic, his humor, his big heart. Bo and I, togerher with our children, are very grateful to God for ordaining our paths to cross with his and yours. Brother Terry had left an indelible mark in our lives and in the lives of so many, all for God's glory. We will always remember with profound gratefulness those times when he encouraged us. He was such a great friend--loving, caring, thoughtful. It was always a joy to have him come and visit us at Advancing Native Missions. His exuberant, upbeat spirit was very refreshing. And he maintained that same spirit to the very end. What a testimony for him to declare that his cancer made him love his Jesus even more! Brother Terry finished strong. And he finished well.
While our hearts are grieved at his passing, yet we are comforted knowing that he's enjoying himself with no pain and suffering in the presence of the Lord Jesus. I can never approximate your own grief and sadness, dear Sister Nancy, with your beloved gone in this present world. You are and continue to be in my prayers.
In Christ's unfailing love,
Marlou
Dear Sister Nancy and family,
Though you may not know us, but as new ANM staff members, having heard of Terry's immeasurable part in the ANM family, we join the thousands of our members in reaching out to you with our hearts, thoughts and prayers as you go through this time of bereavement. We never had the privilege of meeting your beloved husband, but believe it or not, because he had left an indelible memory in people's hearts as a selfless man after God's own heart, we feel an irrational affinity like we have known Terry for years. How can any child of God NOT love such a man?? If I am not making sense, please forgive me. Perhaps a simpler way of sharing our sentiments is that we are all thankful to our God for lending to us here at ANM and to the whole world for that matter, His humble servant, Terry Lee McKinley, even for just a short 65 years.
Still feeling I haven't said enough,
