Lance Christensen, Salam’s Years-long Supporter, Called to Glory“He called you …so that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (2 Thess. 2:13-14) 13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. (1 Thessalonians) -ESV On September 6, 2023, we bid a heartfelt farewell to our dear brother in Christ and faithful years-long partner and supporter of Salam Christian Fellowship, Lance Christensen. Brother Lance was 82. Maja, Lance’s late wife who was a member of St. Mark Lutheran Church, St. Charles, IL, introduced her husband to Pastor Hesham Shehab in 2007. |

Lance was a member of St. Patrick Catholic Church in St. Charles. On September 6, Pastor Hesham led a delegation from Salam Christian Fellowship to St Charles to a service at St Patrick’s congregation celebrating Lance’s life. As the mass concluded, Brother Abdul Ahad aka Abu Arslan, formerly a Chaldean deacon in Mosul, Iraq and a regular attendee of Salam Christian Fellowship, prayed in Aramaic and Arabic over the casket of the deceased. |

Lance was an active member of his local Catholic Church. He was an avid reader. He enjoyed books and gifted copies of his favorite books to friends and family. Lance was a scholar and for four years he was a regular speaker at Pastor Hesham’s Christian-Islamic studies class at College of Dupage in Glen Ellyn, IL. Lance enjoyed life to the full. He loved people and especially enjoyed fellowship with other Christians. With his late wife Maja, he enjoyed hosting Salam Christian Fellowship picnics in their two-acre backyard. Before Maja passed away, they hosted 33 refugees from eight countries in the Middle East and North Africa. |

At those lunches, Lance and Pastor Hesham enjoyed discussing God’s Word, the cause of world mission, and praying together for the souls of the lost. Lance told people that it was his goal to live to be 100. So, it was a surprise when his family found that he had passed away peacefully in his home. Age was just a number to Lance and he proved it in the exuberant way he lived his life from one day to the next. It is that spirit that will permeate the wonderful memories he left for all of us who knew and loved Lance to treasure; Lance will be missed tremendously. |
