Description
One Sunday at the Presbyterian Church I attend, Henry, a retired pastor, shared about his mentor, Walter Soboleff, who died at the age of 102. Walter was one of the first Native Alaskans to be ordained in the Presbyterian Church. Henry remembers Walter as a person of faith and prayer. As he described Walter, Henry said, "You can't be a pastor if you don't pray!" Walter's life was grounded in prayer. While Henry spoke, I heard about someone who exemplified the practice of personal faith and integrity. Later I was curious about Walter and did an Internet search. A Presbyterian News Service article based on an interview with Walter when he turned 100 ends with, "For 100 years that faith has propelled Walter Soboleff. 'It's Jesus that makes these things happen,' he says. And whatever Jesus has made me do makes me feel so good.'" (1) Jesus was the basis of Walter's faith. This God-given faith was the impetus for Walter's actions.
