Dr. Edwin L. Frizen, Jr. March 9, 1925 - December 22, 2012
Born March 9, 1925, he was named Edwin Leonard Frizen Jr. Jack's parents
dedicated him to missionary service when he was three. He responded to
the gospel at age six during a tent meeting his father was holding for
children and at age 12 dedicated his life for missionary service.
While serving in the U.S. Navy Seabees during World War II, Jack was
heavily involved in the launch of an evangelistic program that was the
beginning of SEND International. After several years of service in the
Philippines, Jack and his wife, Grace, were placed on loan to the
Interdenominational Foreign Mission Association (IFMA) of North America,
where Jack served as executive director from 1963-1991 and consulting
director from 1991-92.
Jack was the recipient in 1976 of the National Association of
Evangelicals' Layman-of-the-Year Award. In 1992, he was named
Distinguished Alumnus by Columbia International University. In 2002,
the Pioneers Frizen Missionary Training Center was named in honor of Dr.
and Mrs. Frizen. In 2009, "Uncle" Jack was presented with Pioneers'
Lifetime Ministry Achievement Award for his ministry service.
Throughout his life, Jack served in many different capacities. He was
an honorary U.S. Board member of SEND International and served as an
officer and board member of a number of Christian organizations,
including: the Evangelical Missions Information Service, National
Association of Evangelicals, World Evangelical Alliance and the WEA
Missions Commission, the Tyndale House Foundation and the Henry Parsons
Crowell & Susan Coleman Crowell Trust.
"Jack Frizen was a true mission statesman," noted Steve Moore,
president of Missio Nexus. "His passion for the Great Commission and
unity in the body of Christ was evidenced by his involvement in the
founding of SEND International, his 29 years of leadership with the
Interdenominational Foreign Mission Association, and his public support
of the merger that formed Missio Nexus. His life example inspires all of
us to persevere and finish well."
He served as Acting U.S. Director for Pioneers-USA from November 1998
to August 1999. He served as a member of the U.S. and Canadian boards
of Pioneers and Pioneers International Council.
Jack was an active member of Filipino International Christian Church
in Orlando. He was preceded in death by his beloved sweetheart Grace
Elizabeth Howell Frizen on December 27, 2005, after over 55 years of
marriage.
A memorial service is planned for 10:30 a.m., January 11, at Wycliffe
Bible Translators Volunteer Center, 10968 John Wycliffe Blvd., Orlando,
FL. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes contributions to the Edwin L. Frizen, Jr. Missionary Training Fund (Account #150670) at Pioneers. The purpose of the fund is to carry on Dr. Frizen's legacy
of training and prayer for missionaries to the unreached peoples of the
world. August 15, 2012
