A Life Well Lived - Bob Bosworth


In memoriam...
Around 4 pm Friday, 05 June, Bob Bosworth left this earth to meet his heavenly Father. Linda and her sister, Debbie, arrived in South Africa the following day. The funeral, conducted on Thursday, 11 June, was marked by joy and music for Bob's homecoming. Please pray for Stella, Linda and Debbie during this time of loss.

A life well lived...
All For God's Glory. Together with Stella, his South African-born wife, Bob served the Lord for 55 years in Africa and internationally, reaching thousands upon thousands for Christ. While Bob was an accomplished missionary, his greatest legacy was as a Christian, a husband and a father.
Bob and Stella began pioneer work in remote areas of Africa in 1952. His large evangelistic efforts in urban areas resulted in many churches being planted, most notably in Zimbabwe. Those churches are still thriving today. Bob also planted Bible schools, trained evangelistic teams, began the MorningWatch ministry for early morning prayer, and carried the message of prayer to over 60 countries at a time of great renewal and worldwide missions activity. Recently, Bob and Stella became burdened for financially helping destitute pastors in Third-World countries. Bob is survived by his wife, Stella, and his two daughters, Linda and Debbie

I was blessed to have known Bob, and while he was not in the States very much his life had quite an impact on me. In your lifetime you can count on one hand the number of great men that have crossed your path, Bob was one of those men.

  1. You are so right sir. I also got to meet Bob and Stella only a couple of times. The impact these two had on my life is nothing short of amazing. He was truly a great man, and I consider him to be a true father in Christ to me. The Lord bless you.
