On 14 September 2016, the Lord called home one of his choice servants, and one of the most respected ministers in the British Isles: William Vernon Higham, pastor emeritus of the Tabernacle Cardiff.
The funeral service was held in the Tabernacle Cardiff on Tuesday 27 September. Pastor Robert Dickie, of Berean Baptist Church, Michigan, a long-time friend of the Higham family, officiated.
Conversion
Vernon Higham was born on 25 December 1926 and came to faith in Christ while studying at the Presbyterian Theological College at Aberystwyth, Wales.
He had gone to an evangelical meeting there with the intention of mocking those present. But when he heard them praying for him and saw their deep love for Christ, he was deeply convicted of sin.
