So sorry to hear of Scott’s passing. Our family has fond memories of the Paulson family visiting us second cousins in CA in the early 70’s and sharing their African missionary work. God’s peace and blessings to the family.💜🕊 Love, the Sunde’s

Having God answer a very specific prayer request is a beautiful thing. He always knows what’s best for us and will make sure things go the way He wants. Because I don’t believe in coincidences or random events, I would like to share a story of answered prayer as well as what I believe was a miracle. Based on the stories Scott told so eloquently, I suspect that God intervened in his life on countless occasions. This is just another example. Five years ago I convinced Scott to help me with a project to build as a proof of concept a solar food dehydrator that could be used in the hot sun of India. This was a big machine, something that could hold 50 pounds of food. It didn’t take much arm twisting as this type of project was right up his alley. One summer morning Scott and Brandon came over to our house and together we built this contraption with the materials and plans that I had ready to go. It took the better part of a day but we finished. Lo and behold, it worked! The purpose of this experiment was to see if we could possibly make more of these on site for a friend’s church in Bhopal. It didn’t take much arm twisting to convince Scott to go on the trip and help me get this project off the ground. Over the course of weeks we gathered specific materials that we would be taking with us on the trip. These were specialty items that we would never be able to find in India. Without these items, we’d be sunk. Our worst fear was the possibility that they would be held up or confiscated in customs. We knew that we would be easy targets for this, considering the country we were going to as well as our purpose for the visit—to help a Christian church in a Hindu/Muslim country. Scott wasn’t worried in the least. On the plane to Delhi, he told me that he had been praying in advance of our trip and that he had even asked his friends at Calvary Church in Charlotte to be praying for the same thing— that is, for God to make us invisible as we passed through customs when we landed in Delhi. I remember thinking to myself, what an odd prayer, but I didn’t think like Scott thinks. I’m sure that some of you that are reading this who asked God‘s hand on our trip never found out how things went that day. We had our suitcases and supplies piled high on a luggage cart and proceeded down a hallway lined with inspectors and customs agents stopping everyone as they passed by. Scott says to me, “Look straight ahead and keep walking.” We did just that, never looking left or right just walked the 50 yards down the gauntlet of inspectors. Nobody gave us a second look. We made it through the airport with no problems or questions from anyone. It was as if we were…INVISIBLE!

So sorry for this great loss to mankind. He was an exceptional person and one of the most dedicated to what he loved to do - serving the Lord and other people. I had the honor to meet Scott and Eunice several years ago, and I must admit my life is so much better just knowing them. I have watched God work in these two people lives just in the short time I have known them. My sympathy and prayers for the family at this difficult time, and I know Scott is in heaven rejoicing. No more pain and suffering. This sweet man will be greatly missed by all who had the honor to know him.

I remember Scott telling the folks at Calvary Church (West Hartford, CT) that he liked Fritos and didn’t think the recipe could be too difficult since it was mostly cornmeal. After many failed combinations, he decided they must have had some secret process that he couldn’t duplicate with his available equipment but nonetheless, he was determined to keep trying. How many homemade Fritos did you have to eat Eunie?
The second anecdote I remember him sharing was that Eunie was very afraid of snakes. On investigating some sounds they heard in their Kenyan home’s attic one night, he discovered that the attic was full of them!! Yikes! Always wondered where they slept that night.

Praying for you all. I know this is hard no matter how long you knew it was coming. He was always so kind to the friends of his kids at RVA. He knew not all parents could come and visit and he was so inclusive when there at RVA😊

Scott has encouraged me as we started up a new mission aviation program in Gabon. He gave me great counsel at the start in 2007 and then, more recently, he gave me great flight instruction to sharpen my skills. Now, our program is growing and thriving due to his great investment... touching so many additional lives through the ripple effects of his generous, Christ-centered life. Well done my friend. Alace and I pray that family and friends sense God's presence and comfort in this time of deep grief.
In response to "When was the last time you spent time with Scott?"

I had the privilege to meet Scott at Liberty University where he encouraged students to sacrifice their lives in service to the Lord's kingdom. He will be greatly missed.

Scott was always a kind, gentleman. I appreciate his stalwart love of the Lord from the time I knew him at RVA up to the tie of his entering into God's presence. I loved his quick laugh and happy smile. He brought joy to many. Our prayers are directed to heaven for you, Eunie and your whole family in the sad/glad time.
