Pastor Cairns holds a special place in my heart as it was under his preaching in Greenville SC that God first gave me faith to trust Christ fully for salvation. I know I speak for many when I say that I dearly loved pastor Cairns and he will truly be missed. And why did we all love Pastor Cairns so much? Well, I believe more than anything else, it was because of the Christ-likeness that he exemplified. Not that he was great in and of himself but rather Christ in him. I thank God for the example that was/is pastor Cairns. We grieve for our loss but rejoice knowing that pastor Cairns has been promoted to glory! Amen.
