My wife Hazel and I met Bob and Joy Horn in the summer of 1972. Bob had written an article for The Evangelical Magazine entitled ‘The Christian and the World’ and we asked Bob to speak on this subject to a group of young graduates and professionals, who met to discuss contemporary issues on Friday nights at our local church at Chislehurst.
That was the beginning of a great and close friendship that has lasted until Bob left us to be with the Lord.
Base camp in Christ
Rarely has a life been so full and productive as that of Bob Horn. He was born in Addis Ababa in 1933. His parents, Eric from New Zealand and Syvilla from the United States, were there for seven years as pioneer missionaries at Sidamo, Southern Ethiopia. Going away on furlough they were unable to return in 1936 due to the Italian invasion.
