I was encouraged by the sermon, hymn, and video clip this afternoon. Praise God for his love and faithfulness to our ABC church family. I am confident that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, and that Umo is very joyfully present with the Lord. 

We remember brother Khalil for the time he spent witnessing to others in Jesus' name. Knowing our brother was a true blessing in our lives. We pray God surrounds his family with comfort and hope in this difficult time. We know that this is our temporary home, and our brother Khalil is now in heaven with our Savior. 

We shall meet again, brother. And when we do, we will see our beloved Jesus in all His glory. 

Until then, you will be dearly missed. 

Our Lord's comfort to family and community.  Uncle and brother Khalil is dear to us and leaves with us many lasting, warm, and happy memories. Where do we start.. His abundant spirit and reliable presence, greeting us and leading praise Sunday mornings for many many years..even if sometimes a Sunday worship would seem like groundhog day to regulars :) as he had favorit hymn and story collections :), they were true and and sincere and familiar and always a blessing. We especially will remember also the Spirit filled baptisim services he lead at conferences for many years.
The words of this hymn come to mind when we remember the blessings from our elders of faith like uncle Khalil,
"Give me that old time religion. Give me that old time religion.. Give me that old time religion..It's good enough for me"
Fadi and Elaine

My dearest Charlie, friend and neighbor.  I will always miss you. Our love and friendship extend from our time together on Dennis Avenue to forever.  My family and yours will always be linked together.  We will miss you with all our hearts.
Paul, Karen, Angelia and Joseph (JW)

In your loving memory, we gather now and forever in our hearts. 


Rest in peace .


The Kassis family was out next door neighbor for many years. They built their house right after we moved into ours and as we saw the construction we anticipated that more than just a house was being built, a lifelong friendship. There are so many special memories that make Homecrest  Court a magical place in our hearts. Ammo Khalil was an ever present support and good friend. Devoted to his strong faith and family, he is undoubtedly sharing fellowship with my dad in heaven now. He will be so dearly missed but we can look forward to reuniting someday in eternity. God bless his family and continue to comfort you all during this bittersweet time. 

Mr Charlie was the most hospitable  man I've ever known.  While I worked for the family, I was always made to feel like family. I will never forget him urging me to go sit down and have lunch from the buffet of food he'd prepared. "Go, eat. It's good," he'd say.
I fell in love with the family and have considered them as so for over twenty years.
Heaven awaits you, Mr Charlie...

A pillar has fallen from ABC Church. Khalil will be missed by all. He was a brother to all brothers & sisters at the ABC family.
Rest In Peace dear brother until, as the hymn says:  we shall meet on that beautiful shore....
Heartfelt condolences to all the family, as well as the ABC family.. 
🙏🌺🌹🙏😭

Remembered by us for his bright smile, kindness, and love . he was a pillar of our community at the arabic Baptist church  . we are thankful to have known him and are saddened by his loss. we pray that God will comfort his family in these hard times.

Rima and I are saddened by the passing of brother Khalil. A good man, a brother in Christ and a faithful worshipper. We will miss his smiley face Sunday mornings but we know that he is now rejoicing in the presence of  the Lord.
We mourn with you and we pray that the Lord of peace comforts your hearts as you go through this difficult time.
It is written "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted".
Blessings to you in Christ

Mr. Kassis was always so kind and loving towards me in the few times we were together. 
My favorite memory is where Mr. Kassis and the 3 girls and Leonard all sang worship songs and other songs in Arabic when we were all at Leonard’s home. I cried. It was beautiful. 
Hearing him tell the story of how they came to this country, built a family and built Christian Churches  was fascinating and a testament to what The Lord can do with just one man who is willing to accept HIS WILL. 
I rejoice knowing Mr. Kassis is in the presence of The Lord, basking in The Shekinah Glory of God for all eternity. Praise the Lord!! 
I pray for Mrs. Kassis, Donna, Cindy, Lorraine, and Leonard to find peace in knowing how many souls will be in heaven thanks to the efforts of Mr. Kassis. 
May the Peace of the Lord be on the family in these times of sadness and joy. 
God bless you all. 

God takes away those whom he loves most. Your father was one of the lucky ones.
"I am the resurrection and the life, the one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die."
What an assurance we have in Christ.

Our deepest sympathy 
Nassri and Aznev Moussa.

May God welcome Mr.Kassis to Heaven with open arms.
God Bless him and your family.
May He Rest in Peace

Brother Khalil very often greeted me with kind words on Sunday mornings. I count it as a privilege to have known him. My prayers and deepest sympathy are with you during this time.  

In these hard times we ask the lord to comfort the kasis  family with abundance of blessings. Surely he will be missed .

"We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:8)

Bro Khalil loved his Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.  Now, He his ever present with Him worshipping and singing.

He will be truly and greatly missed.  He was always the very first one present every Sunday at the Arabic Baptist Church in Washington DC.  He served setting up and serving the coffee and was ever ready to lead in singing worshipping His Lord.

Our hearty and sincere condolences to the immediate Kassis family, his wife Aida, children Lorraine, Leonard, Donna and Cindy together with spouses and children, along with all the extended family.

"I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety." Psalms 4:8

Hana and I are deeply sorry for the passing of our dear and beloved Br. Khalil Kassis. We trust that he is with the Lord Jesus receiving his rewards and crowns. This is our true and firm Christian faith and trust that he will be joining the host of believers who went to be with the Lord and we will meet them all at the time of the rapture. 
We pray for you for comfort and consolations. 
Samy and Hana Ibrahim 
1 Thessalonians 4:13. 

You will be missed but we know we will see you with the Lord Brother Khalil.  May God comfort the whole family and comfort all of us.  
Psalm 116:15: Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.


We are at a loss for words during this sorrowful time. Please know that we are thinking of you and praying for peace , comfort and strength.
