Earl J. McElwee

"Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come." — Zig Ziglar

Earl McElwee was born December 19, 1932 in a little town near Braymer, Missouri, where he lived on his family’s modest farm, never once leaving his hometown until joining the Air Force on February 8, 1952. Watching the city limit sign pass by from his seat on the train out of town, instant homesickness set in. However, out of discomfort often comes great growth, and that’s exactly what God had in store for Mr. Earl.
