Sarah
Buller, an AIM participant in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, was killed
in an automobile accident on Sunday. And though they're rejoicing in
heaven, we're all the poorer for it. 

Her passing reminds us that God has called us to a road that is
sometimes more than we can bear. Sarah set an example by following
God's call in her life and ministering to the poor in South Africa. She
loved Jesus and died serving him. We can't help but praise God for
her life.

Sarah was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She was
accepting of everyone. She loved to have fun, and she had no fear. We
jumped off of a bridge together, bungee jumped that is. She is a night
owl. She liked to stay up later than most, and sleep in later than most.

Sarah was precious when we were in ministry. We worked together at
a children's home, with abandoned and beaten babies and toddlers. She
was so good with all the kids. She wanted to be a mother so badly. She
could handle toddlers better than most people.

 

She loved nature, and being outside. She loved the beach... and having
ministry right next to the beach. She was blown away by the beauty of
creation.

 

She was artsy... always seemed to have her camera on her... then she would photoshop them.

 

She loved music. She had a beautiful singing voice.

 

She loved youth. The youth group we worked with, Firehouse, was
blessed by her. She really was able to invest in the girls... to help
grow them up in Christ.

 

Sarah loved to worship God. Her life was worship.

I had fun with her. One night, we didn't want to go to bed, so we
sat outside in the yard. We laid in the grass star gazing, while Kevin
played guitar. It was a perfect night!

 

Then another night, we stuck our head out the window while laying
on a bed and looked at the stars... or tried to look. the whole time we
couldn't stop laughing... we were sooooo giddy!

 

Sarah just liked to have fun. She brought joy wherever she went. She
was never negative. She loved what she was doing. She loved God and
loved people.

She was amazing! And it's so hard to think that she is not around
anymore, but I know, she is in the Lord's presence. She has no pain.
She has complete and perfect joy! She is missed. But I can't wait to
see her again!

Beth Lynch wrote this about Sarah, "I think one of my favorite stories
of her was when she and a few other girls drove to a lion park for the
day. Sarah went into a  cage with a lion cub and he pounced on her. She
came back with a torn shirt and minor scrapes on her arm and stomach.
She was so excited about it! We all laughed about how when she got home
she could say that when she went to Africa, she was attacked by a
lion."
