We would like to recognize our cherished Judy Williams for her service to the IPHC and celebrate with her in her retirement. Judy began working at the Global Ministry Center in 1984 and has served as Accounting Manager in the World Missions Ministry Division for 25 wonderful years. The WMMD has been deeply impacted by her heart for the Lord and for others. We will miss Judy’s kindness, warmth and wisdom around the GMC, but we are grateful for the time and energy she selflessly poured into her work and her relationships. We pray that God will bless Judy in her transition to retirement and for many joys for her family in this season!
“Judy has always placed serving others above her own desires. She is looking forward to now being able to do the things that she has always dreamed of doing. Judy is loved by the missionary family whom she devoted her life’s work to. While in Hong Kong, she was given the opportunity to tell them first-hand of her decision to retire. She received a standing ovation from them as a small token of their expression of love for her. Judy has modeled the characteristics of a Godly lady with grace. Her retirement will leave a void in our hearts and in our Division of ministry. May grace and peace be multiplied to Judy as she starts this new season of life!” -Bishop Talmadge Gardner, Executive Director WMMD
A few words from IPHC missionaries about Judy’s impact on their lives and ministries:

“We want to thank you for being such a committed soldier in the Lord’s army. You have truly been an inspiration and blessing to the missionaries and WMM during your tenure of service.”
-Joe & Maggie Delport
“I fondly remember the day that WMM accepted Danny and I in 2010 and you were smiling and welcoming us. That is a picture in my mind that I will always remember. I was so nervous, but your smile calmed me and my peace returned. You are an amazing women that has truly done your job in ministry. Your faithfulness, promptness and kindness will always be remembered and has been very much appreciated.”
-Danny and Judith Williams
“Thank you for the years of being a blessing to WMM and the care you have always demonstrated to all of us. You have gone the extra mile on so many occasions that you have circled the globe several times.”
