Legendary evangelist R. W. Schambach, who spearheaded world crusades in over 200 countries, tragically died from a heart attack Tuesday, January 17th. He was 85 when he passed.http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2012/January/Evangelist-RW-Shambach-Dead-at-85-/

Schambach and his wife Mary ministered over 60-years through international crusades and American inner city big tent meetings. Many drug addicts, prostitutes, alcoholics, the homeless, and backsliders all received deliverance in these spirited revivals.

Many dynamic miracles as the lame walking, the blind seeing and the deaf hearing were done under the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit through the powerful ministries of Schambach. He declared "you don't have any trouble....all you need is faith in God".

Schambach demonstrated a firey Pentecostal style and did not water down the basic gospel message. From the time he graduated from the Central Bible Institute in Springfield, Missouri, he delivered a strong message grounded in the saving grace and faith in Jesus Christ. Operating with the full power of the Holy Spirit was a Schambach trademark.

Christian believers the world over are pouring in testamonies of the great work done in their country and experienced personally from Schambach's world crusades. The East Texas pastor brought countless thousands to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ for over six decades in ministry.

Schambach's daughter, Donna, now runs Schambach Ministries located in Tyler, Texas.

Memorial services for Schambach are scheduled for 7pm, Friday, February 3rd at the Rose Heights Church of God in Tyler, Texas.

Well done good and faithful servant.
