I was privileged to have Ivan as my Pastor when he was pastor in Mourneview Assembly, Lurgan. A man anointed of God, and mightily used of God. Taken home too soon, but we surrender to God's will in that matter. His last words to me were a month before he went home was "I have been hearing all about you; keep shouting it out like me, and you'll catch fish and know blessing" and he said it with that Ivan Thompson twinkle in his eye, even though he was very ill at the time. Well done thou good and faithful servant!
