by Jerry L. Van Marter

The Rev. Frank Musick, a Presbyterian missionary in Brazil for 35 years with
his wife, Elizabeth, died on Feb. 2 in Campinas, Sao Paulo, after a lengthy
illness.

Musick, a native of Harlingen, TX, graduated from the University of Texas and
Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

When the Musicks first arrived in Brazil in 1968, they conducted evangelistic
ministries in rural parts of central and southwestern Brazil. Gifted
musicians, they incorporated music into their ministries wherever they went. 

Before they went to Campinas, they served at the Bible Institute of the North
and at the Agnes Erskine Evangelical School in Recife. In Campinas, Frank
Musick served as mission treasurer and business manager for the PC(USA)'s
field office, serving all of the church's missions in Brazil. Elizabeth
worked in the office and conducted various music ministries with churches and
groups	in Campinas.

In addition to Elizabeth, Frank Musick is survived by one daughter, Alice
McLean, of Chicago; and two sons, Stan, of Austin, TX, and Stephen, who
serves in the U.S. Marine Corps.
