Biography from website of ‘Selina of Sussex’, which also includes photo of Leonard (this cannot be copied):

Leonard is one of Selina’s many great great grandchildren and was born in Brighton on the 69th birthday of her grandson, Ebenezer Dan Holder, his grandfather. He inherited a real love for the countryside and was brought up in a home where God was reverenced and the Bible was read and respected as God’s inspired word. As a teenager he was convicted of the need of a personal faith in Jesus Christ and felt the call to preach the Gospel Jesus commissioned his followers to proclaim, For several years he preached in some of the same Sussex chapels that Selina’s husband Eli had helped to establish and in the early 1970’s was pastor of Providence Strict Baptist Chapel Horley, across the border in Surrey. Sadly this chapel was later demolished to make way for a shopping development.

After working for a number of years in publishing with the Trinitarian Bible Society and then as a farm secretary in Yorkshire he moved to Basel in Switzerland with his wife and two teenaged sons where he studied German and theology. Since 1989 he and his wife Phyl have lived in the Black Forest in southern Germany and currently run ‘Haus Barnabas’, a Christian guest house to which they welcome guests from all over the world.

Pastor Redhill, Station Road, died 26.11.2013, aged 81. .The following are his own writings: I was born on June 18th, 1932, of godly parents, who desired my spiritual welfare, as did also my grandparents. Grandfather was Mr. Matthew Mercer, who was the pastor at St. David’s Bridge Chapel, Cranbrook, Kent. They also, no doubt, put up many prayers on my behalf. I remember attending Providence Chapel, Cranbrook, from a child and also St. David’s Bridge on Sunday evenings, where a Sunday School was commenced by my father. I well remember several things I learnt by heart in those days. Once I recited the books of the Bible and “The sands of time are sinking.” I feel what was true of Timothy, which we read in 2 Timothy 1. 5,has been true in my case; also Paul speaks of his grandmother and mother possessing unfeigned faith, and also he was persuaded it was in Timothy. I also from a child knew the holy Scriptures which are able to make wise unto salvation, but I also realise now that it is not enough to be favoured in this way, but we need the Holy Spirit’s work of regeneration. I had two remarkable deliverances in my unregeneracy which I would refer to now. I was almost drowned once when walking on ice on a pond in Cranbrook when the ice gave way and I went into the water up to my waist, but mercifully I was able to drag myself clear. Another time on my uncle’s farm in Sussex I played with a gun which was left loaded and fired it – mercifully through the roof of the shed where I was standing. I have often been brought since to feel the reality of the hymn where it says, “Preserved in Jesus when My feet made haste to hell; And there should I have gone, But Thou dost all things well.” I was about the age of sixteen, however, when I believe that the Lord began to deal with me. At this time in my life my grandfather passed away. I believe his death was used of God, with another affliction, for my spiritual life. It had such an effect upon me. I remember the words of the hymn were so impressed upon me: “Eternity, tremendous sound!

24

To guilty souls a dreadful wound,” and I was being brought to feel guilty before God. I remember nights upon my bed with my brothers around me. I felt how solemn it would be if I should wake in hell. I was brought to feel black with the spouse and as Job, vile in God’s sight. I remember in the first place I thought to myself, “If God spares my life I will do better,” but proved, “The more I strove against sin’s power, I sinned and stumbled yet the more.” After making me feel the chief of sinners, I believe the Lord put this prayer into my heart: “God be merciful to me a sinner,” and I believe the Lord gradually showed me where salvation was to be found, pointing me to the Lord Jesus and His blood and righteousness alone, as I had been brought to see my own righteousnesses were but filthy rags in His sight, and to say, “My best was stained and dyed with sin; my all was nothing worth.” I believe after several years I was favoured on a train journey to feel that my sins were put away with the application of the words, “Unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings.” I was led to join the church at Redhill in a wonderful way with the application of the words, “Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee.” I was baptized on August 27th, 1951 by my father and pastor, Mr. R.E. Mercer; also, my first wife Margaret was baptized at the same time, although we were not married until August 21st, 1954. My call to the ministry [abridged]: I had before joining the church the words applied to me in Gadsby’s hymnbook number 144:“Then will I tell to sinners round, What a dear Saviour I have found; I’ll point to His redeeming blood, And say, ‘Behold the way to God.’ These words remained with me; also following my baptism I had great temptations from Satan that I should die and that “if” with which he tempted the Lord Jesus was my experience, but in the midst of these temptations I believe the words of the psalmist were applied: “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” Then follow his exercises over a number of years. He continues: After this I had several invitations from different places to preach, the friends knowing nothing of my exercises, but I felt I could not go until God’s time, and wanted to be rightly sent out by the church at Redhill, having received the Lord’s call in secret. I was led at this time to think of Samuel to whom the Lord spoke and yet he feared to show Eli the vision, and I was in the same place as I feared to show our dear, aged deacon the vision. But in the end I was enabled to speak to him and our pastor about it, and although in the first place there was opposition to this from our deacon, I feel he was brought at last to say with Eli, “It is the Lord: let Him do what seemeth Him good.” The Lord worked in a wonderful way in the end to bring it to pass .... After about thirteen years of exercise, towards the end of 1964 the matter was brought before the church and I was enabled to relate my exercises and preached before them from the words, “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” I was sent forth with the unanimous vote of the church, and the pastor expressed their desire that the Lord would make me a blessing to His people, and I first preached on the first Sabbath in 1965 at Staplehurst from these words: “Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.” It is my earnest desire still to know nothing among the people save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. To Him be all the glory and praise now and for ever. Amen. This ends the writings of our brother, but I would desire with the Lord’s help to add a few further details of his call to the pastorate and latter end of his life. Call to pastorate:

25

Little is known of the full leadings of this step, but I do believe that our father, the previous pastor, had a strong persuasion and feeling that after his departure, Philip would in due time be led to follow him as pastor at Station Road, Redhill; also, the Lord’s servant Mr. J.W. Tyler felt the same. In fact, it was very obvious at the funeral service which he took of our father that this was very much on his mind, especially when he was led to speak of the case of Elijah and Elisha, and how the mantle fell on Elisha when Elijah was taken up into heaven, and I believe that is just what did happen. Philip also had this persuasion that it would be so, and so it came to pass that after our father was so suddenly taken from us in January 1978 that the Lord laid this burden on Philip and the church at Station Road, and after one or two church meetings on the matter they invited Mr. J.W. Tyler to chair a meeting held on June 12th, 1978, and he read Joshua chapter 1 and then after a unanimous vote from the church, Mr. J.W. Tyler gave to Philip the right hand to welcome him into the office as pastor. Philip had served the churches for about fourteen years as a supply minister. He therefore commenced the pastorate from that date, although not full-time until January 1979, and continued in that office for thirty-four years. He was helped to fulfil this office until his end, although towards the latter part of the time there were very few at the chapel, and he conducted nearly all the services almost on his own, having lost most of the male members by death over the years. In the year 2000 he suffered a stroke which affected his speech and mental powers, so that for about twelve months he was unable to preach at all, but thankfully the Lord did in a great measure slowly restore his speech to him, but he did still find it difficult to speak and concentrate at times, but was able to preach again right up to his end. Our brother was favoured in that he possessed a very quiet and peaceable spirit, which was a great help to him all his life. Last few years of his life: Right from a young boy he had always suffered with nervous dyspepsia, which at times was quite distressing for him. He had quite a sad life in many ways as he lost his first wife in June 1996 after suffering great afflictions, and she was only 64 years old when she was taken. He had two grandsons who are sorely afflicted and neither of them have ever been able to talk, and then in December 2011 he lost his only child (daughter) suddenly by death, she being only 56 years of age. Thankfully, after losing his first wife, the Lord heard his prayer and gave him another helpmeet, for which he was always so very thankful, and they were married on June 21st, 1997.About the year 2011 he was diagnosed with cancer of the kidney and in due course had to have one of his kidneys re- moved, but after this he seemed to go on quite nicely for some time. Then once again he had problems and was told that the cancer had spread to the prostate gland and he was given treatment and had an injection about every month or two. In November 2013 he had one of these injections on Friday 22nd and on Saturday 23rd started having a lot of pain in his stomach, and this did not improve but rather grew worse, and by the evening was so intense that the doctor was called and he was admitted to hospital. Everything done for him could not ease the pain, so on Sunday afternoon he was given an emergency operation, and sadly he never regained consciousness after this operation, but passed peacefully away on Tuesday, November 26th, 2013, to be with Christ, which is far better. Funeral service: The funeral was held at Station Road, Redhill, on Tuesday, December 10th, 2013 and was conducted very ably by his friend Mr. Stephen Hyde, pastor at Shaw’s Corner Chapel, Redhill. Stephen and Philip had worked very closely together over the years, and met

26

regularly for fellowship and helpful discussions. Sadly, owing to the home call of Philip, yet another chapel has now closed. May the Lord hear prayer for a revival of the work of the Holy Spirit in our chapels and in our souls, which was a theme our brother often referred to, quoting from Song of Solomon 4. 16: “Awake, O northwind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my Beloved come into His garden, and eat His pleasant fruits.” His sister, R.S HaroldLewisSteere,of28CollingwoodRoad,Horsham,retailerofpramsandbabywear,StillaliveSonofDavidLewisSteere(above),born1939,marriesReginaDKnight,Tonbridge,1961Phonebook1953-57.Furnituredealer,219HarlingtonRoad,BrightonPhonebook1969-75.28CollingwoodRoad,Horsham.Phonebook1978-todate.58SpencersRoad,Horsham.Tel:(01403)263706DavidJohnSteere,ofEtheldene,AnchorHill,Knaphill,BaptistMinister,StillaliveSonofDavidLewisSteere(above),bornApr1943,marriesJoyceRBarkaway,inSESurrey1963.AtKnaphillasminister,1967-76.Currentlyin82, Furness Close, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP2 9YA Ipswich01473-685507.
