Living Waters founder and CEO Ray Comfort, said, “I briefly met Pastor John MacArthur back in the mid-1990s. Years later, in 2005, I was greatly encouraged when he graciously commended our Basic Training Course at a time when our ministry was still relatively unknown. That was an unexpected kindness.”
“More recently, he honored me by writing a foreword for one of my books,” Comfort added. “So even though we met only once, I have always felt a deep affection and respect for him, and I will miss him dearly.”

Kevin DeYoung, senior pastor of Christ Covenant Church, shared, “John was never anything but kind and encouraging to me, which, I’m sure, has been the experience of many other younger men. I give thanks for his Bible-shaped life and his Bible-saturated ministry.”
