Kaye Martin Munoz of Mission, Texas was born on March 20, 1944, in Eden, NC to John Paul Martin, Sr. and Bernice Gann Martin. She went to heaven on August 3, 2020, after a lengthy illness. She was the wife of the late Rev. Victor Manuel Munoz and the mother of one son, Victor David Munoz.<\/p>\n<p>She is survived by her son, David, and his wife, Felipa Munoz, along with four grandchildren, Crystal, and husband Romeo, Ceci, R.J., and Viktoria, and one great-grandson, Ian, all of Texas. Other survivors are sisters, Sherrill M. Marley and her husband, Rev. Doyle Marley, and Gale Martin Richardson. One brother John P. Martin, Jr. and wife, Judy, all of Mayodan, NC. Kaye is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends whom she loved.<\/p>\n<p>Kaye was a graduate of Holmes Bible College and Central Wesleyan College, both in South Carolina, where she received two bachelor's degrees. She received a master\u2019s degree from the University of Virginia, and during her time in Virginia, she would drive home to Mayodan, NC to teach an S.S. class for ladies at the Stoneville P.H. Church. She taught in public schools for several years, then taught at Heritage Bible College in North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>Kaye was a member of the Mayodan, NC Pentecostal Holiness Church from childhood. She was also an ordained minister in the Cornerstone Conference (Western North Carolina) of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church. Her first major ministry trip was to go to Canada one summer during Bible college with a group of six girls doing VBS for six weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Kaye became a missionary for the World Missions Ministries department of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church and served in Costa Rica for five years, where she met her husband. From Costa Rica, Kaye and Manuel moved to Hawaii through the World Evangelism department of the IPHC to help establish a Bible College with the late Adrian Yuen. They lived there for five years, and their son, David, was born there.<\/p>\n<p>They then moved to Texas and remained there for over 35 years until their home-goings. While living in Texas, she and Manuel did ministry in both Texas and Mexico, made short-term ministry trips to other countries, taught school, and did tutoring.<\/p>\n<p>Her last ministries in Texas were teaching and preaching God\u2019s Word and doing prison ministry, along with her friend, Letti Gutierrez. When she went home to North Carolina, she preached in both English and Spanish speaking churches in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Like the great Apostle Paul, Kaye fought the good fight, finished her course, and kept the faith. We will cherish her memory and rejoice in the good works done for the kingdom of our Christ.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><em>Rev. Kaye Munoz was approved as an IPHC Career missionary and departed to Costa Rica in 1974.

Decidi\u00f3 dominar y trabajar como artista creativo para empresas publicitarias en Monterrey. <\/p><p> En 1964 se cas\u00f3 con Irma Rodr\u00edguez y tuvieron tres hijos: Rub\u00e9n, Hayde\u00e9 y Adalberto. Siete a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, se produjo una gran prueba cuando su esposa falleci\u00f3, dej\u00e1ndolo con tres peque\u00f1os. Pero fue fiel a Dios, incluso con esta gran p\u00e9rdida. <\/p><p> El 23 de julio de 1977, despu\u00e9s de cinco a\u00f1os de ser viudo, se cas\u00f3 con la misionera Judith Firebaugh, con quien comparti\u00f3 el ministerio, ense\u00f1ando en la Escuela B\u00edblica Emmanuel, asesor\u00eda y, por supuesto, creando el logotipo oficial y otros elementos publicitarios de Emmanuel. <\/p><p> Con el paso de los a\u00f1os, Rub\u00e9n y Judith pudieron itinerar por Estados Unidos, informando de la obra de Dios en M\u00e9xico y, en particular, recaudando fondos para Emmanuel. <\/p><p> En 2002 sufrieron la p\u00e9rdida de Rub\u00e9n, Jr., pero aun as\u00ed, su fe no flaque\u00f3 y fue testimonio para muchas personas. <\/p><p> Despu\u00e9s de retirarse del trabajo secular, acept\u00f3 el pastorado de una iglesia, y juntos Rub\u00e9n y Judith sirvieron durante cinco a\u00f1os. <\/p><p> Rub\u00e9n fue un amoroso esposo, abuelo y un testimonio vivo de la gracia y la bendici\u00f3n de Dios en su vida. La \u00faltima gran prueba fue que tuvo que someterse a hemodi\u00e1lisis durante los \u00faltimos cinco a\u00f1os de su vida. Sin embargo, nunca perdi\u00f3 su gran sentido del humor, compartiendo sonrisas e historias interesantes con los m\u00e9dicos y enfermeras. Aprovech\u00f3 cada momento para compartir su fe en Jesucristo con otros pacientes. <\/p><p> El 18 de julio Dios decidi\u00f3 llamarlo a su presencia, recibiendo un siervo firme y fiel. <\/p><p> Dej\u00f3 atr\u00e1s a su esposa, Judith, quien lo cuid\u00f3 con profundo amor hasta el \u00faltimo momento; sus hijos: Hayde\u00e9 y su esposo, Miguel, y Adalberto y su esposa, Sabdi; dos Hermanas; y sus nietos, Xanat, M\u00edkel, Rub\u00e9n El\u00edas y Valeria. <\/p><p> Su familia lo reconoce como el hombre que se describe en el Salmo 1. Fue bendecido porque no sigui\u00f3 el consejo de los imp\u00edos, ni se sent\u00f3 en la silla de los que se burlaban, sino que se deleit\u00f3 en la ley del Se\u00f1or. , y en esta ley, meditaba d\u00eda y noche. Era como un \u00e1rbol plantado junto a corrientes de agua que da fruto en su tiempo. Su hoja no se sec\u00f3 y todo lo que hizo fue prosperado por el Se\u00f1or. <\/p><p> Rub\u00e9n P\u00e9rez dio una buena pelea; termin\u00f3 el curso; mantuvo la fe y ha recibido la corona de la justicia. <\/p><h3> <span style=\"color: #000080\"><strong>Una nota de Ministerios de Misiones Mundiales<\/strong><\/span> <\/h3><p> <em><span style=\"color: #000080\">&quot;Si bien Rub\u00e9n P\u00e9rez no era un misionero de carrera, como lo es su esposa Judith, se convirti\u00f3 en un miembro venerado y apreciado de la familia misionera de la IPHC, ya que trabaj\u00f3 fielmente junto a Judith durante los \u00faltimos 43 a\u00f1os. Rub\u00e9n era la personificaci\u00f3n de un caballero cristiano. Siempre fue amable, cort\u00e9s y bondadoso.
