Sad but rejoicing to hear of my brother's home going. Such an awesome man of God. Too many amazing memories of our time together in the early years to list but all led to my love for the Lord and His  word because of Terry's example and teaching. I will miss him in the flesh but his memory and spirit will live on in me until I see him again! May the blessings of God's comfort and grace to you Page and all the family be yours in the days ahead.

I visited Castle Rock Baptist Church , CO, in 2007. I met Pastor Terry at one of the Pastors meeting in Colorado. I don't remember exactly the name or the place where I met him. I visited several places and met several Christian Leaders.  But Pr. Terry was the first one to invite  me before requesting him a time for visiting the Church to  at Castle Rock.  I visited several Churches in  States that time but after requesting or making several call for an entry. 
Even though it is a small Church, the heart and the love of the Shepherd as well as the Flock is very much appreciating. 
From 2007 onwards Pr.Terry took great interest in supporting our humble ministry in Punjab till this month and I am sure that the Church will continue this great loving gesture continuously for the glory of God.
Several days I thought to call him over the phone and talk to him.  It happened in the first week of September 2021 and I felt very happy and encouraged taking to  him over the phone. He expressed his joy of listening my voice after several months. I invited him  as I did three times before, along with his family to visit Punjab and he was very much interested. 

BUT PRAISE TO OUR ALMIGHTY LORD THAT HE GOT A PERMANENT VISA TO HIS FATHER'S ABODE WHERE HE WAS YEARNING TO GO AND TAKE REST. 

I am afraid to recollect his last moment that expressing his desire to be in the sinless presence of his Master......AND HE IS THERE...

I very much appreciate his humbleness using the  word , FACE  DOWN,  at the end of evey writings and e-mails.  
He didn't write big sentences as I do, but very precisive but with much meaning.
I miss one of my examplory Servant of God . I didn't get a second chance to visit USA. I don't know when it will be, but longing....my great desire to visit his Church , his family and all the dear saints at Castle Rock Baptist Church. .....
MY VERY SINCERE PRAYERS FOR ALL THE DEAR ONES PR. TERRY LEFT IN THIS WORLD , ENJOYING THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD....



To Page, the family, friends, and the church community,

I will always think of Terry as a person tenacious in his desire to be faithful to the Lord and to the Word. He has "gone on ahead," may we share his passion for Christ and in Christ. Terry has fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith (2 Tim. 4:7). He now receives his reward. Praise God!

I pray for God's comfort and strength and also for the warmth of good memories. May the love of the Lord be sensed at a deep level in your lives at this time especially.  

Blessings to you in Christ,

David and Ellen Olford on behalf of Olford Ministries International, Inc.

A message from missionary Pastor Pau:

"A Heaven Sent Friend"

Three things that come to mind whenever I think of Pastor Terry:
1.  Biblical preaching:  Terry is a pastor of One book: The Bible.
2.  "No problem":  Terry strongly believed on the Sovereignty of God.
3.  "Just papers":  Terry did not put money first in his life.  

"John 14:1-5; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18"

My Mom would like me to send her sympathy and condolences to Page and all the family.  Being in Olympia, WA she never got to meet Terry, but she knows how much Grace loved her Grandpa Terry.  

We're attaching a picture of Great Grandma June;  son Jeff, Sasha, Grace and Baby Faith; and Cal & I taken on October 7, 2020. 

God's blessings to you all,
Mrs. P. J. Sanders for Mom June McClaskey-Peterson



Page, we send our love and prayers to you and all the family.  Living so far away in Olympia, WA, we never got to meet Terry.  However, after our son, Jeff, married Sasha, we heard plenty of wonderful things about him from them and Grace.  Little Grace always enjoyed the summer visits with her grandparents.   We also see how many people have special remembrances, so we know he was an inspiration to many people.  He will be missed, but Terry's legacy will live on in those he has inspired with his teachings, love and understanding.  May God rest his soul and bring comfort, peace and strength to  you and the family.

We are attaching a fun picture with Grace and our Grandson, Jesse, on Grandparents' Day 2019.  

Love,
Cal & P. J. Sanders

Terry was an aqaintance of mine and a stand up  person.

Tara Lynn,
May the memories you created with your father be cherished for your life time and in your children.  I won't be able to make it for the funeral, but know that I'm praying for you and your family.

I love you very much,
Aunt Mary Kaye

My father was such an amazing example of who to be for Christ. I will miss his snark and love.

I thank God for the privilege of meeting and knowing Pastor Terry.   I pastor a Hispanic church that Pastor Terry allowed to use the CRBC facilities. We met at CRBC for 12 years from February 2008 until the Covid pandemic.  Pastor Terry was so easy to work with and so kind to us all. Over the years, we developed a wonderful relationship.  He shared with me his past, BC, and it is obvious that the Lord transformed him into a Godly man. I always enjoyed spending some time visiting him in his office, sharing the Word, and hearing about his travels to Russia and India.  I am truly going to miss my friend and colleague, but he ran the race, he fulfilled his call and now knows the Lord face to face.  I loved Pastor Terry and look forward to seeing him again in glory.

When I was just a teenager Terry and his preaching made such an impact on me.  He showed me the difference between a superficial belief and true soul changing faith with a real desire for the Word of God. Through the ups and downs of life Terry and Page have always been rocks for me…. And I’m just so grateful to have had the privilege of having them for parents for so much of my life.  

When Grace was 4 she loved that Grandpa Terry wanted to walk her around Elizabeth trick-or-treating. He would look at her candy and tell her which ones were the tastiest. She would try to share with him and he would take the candy with a thank you and then slip it back in her bag when she wasn’t looking. 

Terry Ball married our son Ivan & their daughter Tara.  Just that experience drew me to have a loving connection with that man!  Well done thy good & faithful servant!!!  He still lives & so does Terry!!!  In His Love & Ours to all, Richard & Lynn!!

In Memory of a Christian Legend

Surely the clouds of heaven
Rolled way back as Terry went in
Even God gave a special nod
To a gallant soldier and a friend 

No Harley was needed
As Terry sauntered down those golden streets
Angels as well turned their heads
Just to see who Jesus himself greets

A happy hush filled the air
Everyone knowing this preacher they see
And then Jesus said, “Well done Terry
You have been a faithful servant for me.”

Ronnie Johnson

Looking back at the years I was blessed by the Lord to be under Terry's teaching, I can't help but remember how often he mentioned he was spending more time with the Apostle Paul than anyone else. Now, it's eternity together. I can see Terry smiling. Heaven has another disciple ...

My sympathies to the family.  Terry was a childhood friend and social media had put us together several years ago after over 40 years. Gone too soon.

Terry was such a unique and loving Pastor who was uplifting and true to the word of God. My prayers are with his loved ones for comfort and peace…….

Terry touched many hearts during his short time here.  I am blessed to have known him.  He will be missed by many.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.  

Dear Ball/Barbour Family,
Being Terry's Secretary for the greater part of the last two decades has truly been one of the greatest blessings of my life.  Witnessing his tireless service to The Lord and His people has been an example for all to follow.  His absence will leave a hole in our hearts no other will be able to fill.  We will honor his memory by pressing on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus, because this is what he would want and expect.  Much love to all of you!
