Rev. Marvin and Joyce Whitfield<\/p><\/div>\n

Rev. and Mrs. Whitfield are the founders of Alternative to Abortion, now Royal Home Ministries, in Salemburg, North Carolina. For several years, the Whitfields carried a vision for the Pentecostal Holiness Church to have a maternity home for mother and baby care. In 1992, their vision became a reality and the first young lady was accepted into care. Since then, over 325 young women have been served through the ministry of The Royal Home. On November 24, 2014, Royal Home Ministries dedicated the Marvin and Joyce Whitfield Life Campus which will expand the maternity and after care ministries.<\/p>\n

Presiding Bishop Doug Beacham states, \u201cThe IPHC is deeply grateful for the vision and compassion that Joyce Whitfield showed through her life. This is especially true for her latter years and her determination to make a difference in the lives of unborn children. Our prayers are extended to Marvin and their family.\u201d
\nMemorials for Mrs. Joyce Whitfield may be directed to: The Marvin & Joyce Whitfield Life Center, c\/o Royal Home Ministries, P.O. Box 39, Falcon, NC, 28342.<\/p>\n
