Fruitful Service
by D. Robert Watts

The Quiet Hour has been happily enmeshed in our lives for decades. In the early 1940s, LaVerne Tucker, a friend and classmate at Walla Walla College, led a small singing group in which I enjoyed singing. LaVerne’s fiancée Alma Hooper and he sometimes sang duets which my fiancée Audrey Daniels accompanied on the piano.

J. L. Tucker, LaVerne’s father and founder of The Quiet Hour, united Audrey and me in marriage in 1943, the same year LaVerne and Alma were married.

My wife, a newly converted Adventist in academy days, and her family were greatly influenced by J. L. Tucker’s Quiet Hour radio messages originating in Portland, Oregon. Her mother, a strong believer in missions, remembered The Quiet Hour in her will.

We have followed with deep interest the Tuckers’ long years of fruitful service around the world. Thank the Lord for thousands of people in all parts of the world who were introduced to the gospel through The Quiet Hour ministry. Our privilege and joy is to share in that soul-winning endeavor.

Our 50 years of service, some of it overseas, has been a blessing and a joy. The Lord is coming soon. In the meantime we are pleased to have a charitable gift annuity and trust with The Quiet Hour, confident that these funds will help hasten the Lord’s coming. What a blessed day that will be to meet in the Kingdom many who were brought to Jesus and salvation through The Quiet Hour ministry.
