On Monday, August 5, 2019, after a long and productive life, Mr. Oscar Askoff, affectionately
known as “Mr. A,” father of Mrs. Joni Parsley and father-in-law of Pastor Rod Parsley completed
a race well run and is at home in heaven.
He served us all as a member of the U.S. Military in Korea, a man who led by example, displaying
honor and sacrifice daily. His love for God and his commitment to his church were evident in his
38 years combined service in the roles of Usher, Head Usher and Usher Emeritus. He treasured his
family and considered no man a stranger.
The Askoff family has been instrumental in the legacy and history of World Harvest Church. Our entire
church family is uplifting his wife of 63 years, Joann Askoff; daughters Julie Pfeffer; Joni
Parsley, and Jennifer Sullivan; grandchildren Matthew Pfeffer, Jillian Hupp, Jared Pfeffer,
Daniel Pfeffer; Ashton and Austin Parsley; Ryan, Andrew and Jordan Mills; four
great-grandchildren; Ava and Lily Hupp; Jackson and Maxton Pfeffer; nieces and nephews in prayer.
On behalf of Mrs. Joni and the Askoff and Parsley families, thank you for your
steadfast prayers, kind words of encouragement, and comfort in recent weeks. If you would
