I feel so sad to hear his death even thought I didn't know him. But above all this tragedy, in my french church, I have heard of his heart for God and for children. We know that God will help his wife and family. Be sure that in Reims we pray for you and share your sadness. Love
Dereks life passion was adopting and restoring orphans; he pioneered the vision of the Orphan Justice Center a haven of restoration for rescued orphans. His tireless voice for the weak and voiceless indelibly marked us all. How we will miss him.
For years, this man of God has faithfully served his Lord in so many areas, including helping pioneer the Forerunner Music Academy, where he served as director. Derek was part of the IHOP-KC senior leadership team, a worship leader in the House of Prayer, and a frequent IHOP-KC conference speaker. He has recorded professionally as a musician, singer and songwriter; including his albums Paper Religion and Fragrant Burning.
On December 23, 2009 as he was traveling home from Colorado, Derek was killed in an automobile accident when his car hit a patch of black ice. Derek had been in Colorado to receive more extensive training in how to minister to victims of human trafficking,
It's sad to hear about his death. We drove through the rough weather yesterday and there were alot of accidents. Pray for the families of of everyone injured or killed in accidents and for safe travel.
