Burning the Note, and the Legacy of John M. Perkins: a message from our executive director: http://eepurl.com/jC8eQ-

03/13/2026

John Perkins was, and continues to be, a foundational influence that shapes the work of the Midian Leadership Project. Today, he went home to be with the Lord. Thank you, Dr. Perkins, for your inspiration and service.

There are not enough words to express our appreciation for Dr. John M. Perkins and the ways he helped birth, shape, encourage, fight for, and love the CCDA community.

He meant so much to our association, and we are deeply grateful for the legacy that continues to live on through the John & Vera Mae Perkins Foundation, CCDA, and so many of our members across the nation.

May we always remember that "love is the final fight."

Please join us in grieving and lamenting the loss of one of our extraordinary founders.

Rest in peace and power, Dr. Perkins.

The man I’ve called Daddy, died. Dr. John M. Perkins died this morning, March 13, 2026, surrounded at home by his wife and family.

To the world, he was Dr. John M. Perkins, a voice for justice, reconciliation, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. He received 19 honorary doctorate degrees, but most importantly, he was the devoted husband of his bride, Vera Mae Perkins, for 74 years, and together they were blessed with 8 children.

But to me, he was Daddy.

My heart is broken, yet full of gratitude for the gift of being his daughter. His life was marked by courage, humility, faith, and love. He poured himself out for God, for people, and for the work of reconciliation.

Please keep our family in your prayers as we grieve, honor, and celebrate his extraordinary life and legacy.

Daddy, thank you. We love you, and we will carry your legacy forward. V. Elizabeth Perkins
