On September 1, 2009, Brother Jeff Clark passed from this dimension. It is with a mixture of sadness for our loss and joy for his gain; for we know that he has entered into the joy of the Lord. I have been asked to share Brother Jeff's testimony with you and it is my honor to attempt to do that.

Jeff's parents are James and Mary Jo Clark, both from Oklahoma. His father is a veterinarian and goes by the nickname of Doc. He had just finished his degree at Oklahoma State University and one of his first jobs was for USDA in Iowa. It was there in Alta, Iowa, that Jeff was born, November 10, 1957. A second brother, Jonathan, was born in Dubuque, Iowa on December 24, 1958, before the family returned to Oklahoma City. Doc set up a vet practice in Sayre. His third brother Joel was born August 25, 1960 in Sayre. The years in Oklahoma were precious ones to Jeff, and he loved to tell stories that happened during that time. Despite being born in Alta, Iowa and living most of his life in other states, he found his roots in the Oklahoma soil.
