David Lancaster Jones, born in England in 1938, grew up like a proper British chap, and became the wise, witty, and sarcastic preacher and professor everyone knew a ectionately as Brother Jones. Before he joined the church triumphant in 2021, he knew that his daughter was getting his life's work published. He was an ordained minister in the Assemblies of God for over fifty years and was a favorite pastor or professor of many. Over twenty-five years of his ministry career was spent pastoring churches in Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska. The rest of his ministry career was spent at Trinity Bible College in Ellendale, North Dakota, instilling into future ministers a love for God's Word and the enormous honor and responsibility of sharing that with others. You couldn't be in a class or congregation of his without appreciating the depth of his biblical wisdom or laughing at a witty comment you didn't see coming. He was one of a kind! He was married to his high school sweetheart, Mary G. Jones, for sixty years before she went to heaven in 2019. Together they raised five children: Wendy, Becky, Heidi, Jennifer, and Adam, along with being foster parents to over 100 children. See less
