Walter Sandell was my pastor from the time I was four until I left after my last summer at home during college years. We had the privilege of visiting Walter and Margy on a trip to Atlanta. As we talked about our lives it struck me how much my thinking about missions was shaped during my years at First Alliance Church in Atlanta. Our church had the highest level of support for missions of all C&MA churches, hosted missionaries constantly, and had the most amazing missions conferences. With so many missionaries in our lives, it was inevitable that our hearts would be drawn to missions. Thanks to Pastor Sandell, missions defines many of our vision and goals in life.

Walter Sandell was my pastor also when Inlived in Birmingham Al. He was such a help to me as I was getting started in my Christian Life. I suspect he is now with our Lord since I’m now 83 and the time I’m talking about is the late fifties and early sixties. At that time I was working for Capital Airlines which merged into United. I now pastor a small church in Tokyo Japan.
