Here’s another great personal tribute by John Piper. It’s a shame more in evangelical “missional” Christianity don’t know who he was, or of his influence.

@gracex2 I believe I may have met her briefly (not sure) during my Perspectives Intensive class @ Pasadena. Met bunch of great folks… so I may forget a name or face here and there

and quoted above

“In South Korea, Winter’s friend of 40 years, Pastor David Cho of David Cho Missiological Institute in Seoul, lamented Winter’s death as a “big loss” for the school of missiology.

“This is like one big star disappearing,” Cho told Christian Today. “It is doubtful whether a prophetic missiologist scholar [like him] can ever appear again.”

This is probably the best article on his passing and most comprehensive of his legacy:

yes, that Betty! We met during our days at SPU and went to college fellowship together. Did you meet her at the Center or elsewhere?

what an amazing man. such a loss, but his life was such a gain for all of us. my best friend has been his assistant for the past few years, so I’ve been able to hear all about him through her. prayers for his family, friends, and staff at the uscwm.
