Herb Eggar

Herb Eggar went to be with the Lord, 26th of November at the age of 85. He and his wife Evelyn were the pioneers of the Elijah House ministry in Japan. Evelyn was a single missionary in Japan for almost 50 years before marrying Herb, who actually was her sweetheart when they were growing up in the U.S. It was through the ministry of Elijah House and the teachings of John Sandford that Evelyn testifies of being healed of issues in her heart that had hindered her from accepting Herb's marriage proposal some 50 years previously. But through a series of divine appointments the two were happily married in Japan in 1997, and spent the remainder of their time in Japan until 2007 to introduce the Elijah House ministry to the Japanese people. I was privileged to get to know the Eggars, and worked with them in producing many of the videos that are now being used all over Japan for the Elijah House schools in Japanese. I was always amazed at their energy and drive, and determination to get Elijah House Japan established and handed over to Japanese leadership. Evelyn resides in Charlotte, N.C.
