Denver Area Pastor Dies In Mission Trip Accident Matthew 5:4 NCV They are blessed who grieve, for God will comfort them. Congregations throughout the Denver, Colorado area area mourning with Grace Community Church who lost their pastor in a tragic accident while on a mission trip. Pastor Terry Broadwater was in the Himalayas with his son and other church members conducting services. The pastor and the mission team would hike to small towns in the high peaks and minister to the villagers. The church said the pastor apparently slipped during one of the hikes and fell off a cliff. “It is with extremely heavy hearts we share the news that, as a result of a climbing incident, Pastor Terry Broadwater went to be with the Lord today while on a mission trip to India,” Church leaders said in a statement. “Terry was on the trip with his oldest son and several members of Grace’s leadership and pastoral team. At the time of the accident Terry and the team were in a remote part of the Himalayas.” “Due to the location, further details are taking time to be developed and efforts in country are being coordinated between Terry’s family, local Indian police, Grace leadership, and the U.S. Embassy in Delhi.” The trip was said to be a way the pastor melded his passion for hiking and being outdoors with the gospel. He had been married to his wife Jo Ann for 32 years and leaves her behind with three children.
