Glen Jenkins Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Glen Jenkins, was ushered into the presence of his Savior on April 1, 2019 at 7:30 PM CST. Many were there to welcome him as he entered. In 1956, he left the woods of SE Arkansas to follow God’s call on his life into full-time ministry. He went to Southwestern Assemblies of God College where he met my mother. He had to work his way through school doing janitorial work for the college. One time he had to hitchhike from Waxahachie, TX to Crossett, AR for a funeral. Glen and his wife Sarah moved to Kansas shortly after their wedding in 1959 to begin serving in a local church. Through the years, they served in various small communities in Kansas, Colorado Springs, CO, Grand Prairie, TX, and Seattle, WA. He had very little but he took the little that he had, invested it wisely into the lives of people all over the world. Tonight, he is hearing the best words we could ever hear: “Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy.” He loved his family, the local church, and the many people in those churches. He was passionate about supporting missionaries and, in his later years, building bird houses to sell so he could keep his monthly financial pledge to missions. Only eternity will reveal the impact of what he invested. He did good. Was faithful. He was a wise servant in his Master’s field. Now he will spend eternity sharing in his Master’s joy! His words to us tonight: it was worth it all! Survived by loving wife of 60 years Sarah; son and daughter-in-law Greg & Tammy Jenkins; daughter and son-in-law Carmen & Gerald Austin; three granddaughters Audrey Jenkins, Sarah Kruming (Bryan) and Katherine Austin (Dayn); two great granddaughters Carter and Charlie and his two favorite granddogs Zoey and Niniko. Also survived by 4 brothers Kenny & Janice Jenkins; Robert & Pat Jenkins, Gilbert & Avanell Jenkins, Bill & Linda Jenkins and sister-in-law Gwen Jenkins and many nieces and nephews.
