Justin was a true servant!


As one of the oldest families in NSBC, my family would often worship with the Izlars every Sunday as long as I can remember. I was always very quiet at church and stayed to myself primarily. However, Justin would always come and greet me with a warmhearted "wassup bro" or "how are you?" I always got a good vibe from Justin..to me he always seemed like a good guy. I remember him serving in several different ministries-sometimes he was in the choir and at other times he would be in the Alpha & Omega steppers. He was very involved in his church and very loved by most.

I can vouch ...Justin was a true servant- a man of God that had humility and respect for others. He expressed true concern about others and would take the time to listen if your heart was heavy. He was also a man that carried a inner peace and happiness. Even during the time of intense struggle, he kept a positive demeanour.

I think the primary lesson I can take from Justin's life..is that no matter what we as Christians go through..no matter what the circumstance..no matter what the obstacle..Christ has the victory! For pain and storms will create challenge  BUT our strength lies in God! Justin fought his sickness as long as he could..BUT i think he finally said God I obey your will!

Justin's life will not be life will not be forgotten in time but serve as a constant reminder to me and I hope to others as well..remain steadfast in Christ despite any challenge that may present itself because Christ already has the victory!

Live on Justin! Live on!

With love,
