Bishop Juan (John) Victor Passuelo<\/strong><\/h2>\n

May 25, 1932 \u2013 February 13, 2021<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The World Missions Ministries Council and global missionary family extends its deepest sympathies to Norma Passuelo Mozes, David Passuelo, and Brenda Passuelo Barroso and their respective families as they mourn the death of their beloved father, Bishop Juan (John) Victor Passuelo who has now \u201centered the Church Triumphant.\u201d\u00a0 We remember with gratitude, Bishop Passuelo\u2019s life and missionary legacy, and we give thanks to God for His service as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

To the Passuelo family, we say, \u201cBe strong and courageous, the Lord your God is with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rev. Max Barroso, Bishop Passuelo's grandson, provided us with a copy of Bishop Passuelo\u2019s obituary:<\/p>\n

\u201cBishop Juan Victor Passuelo was born on May 25, 1932, and departed to the presence of his Lord and Savior on February 13, 2021, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His beloved wife, Rev. Dora Elson Passuelo, and his son, Rudy, preceded him in death. His three children, Norma Mozes (Mike), David (Dora), and Brenda Barroso (Carlos), his 10 grandchildren (Vanessa, Diego, Jason, Virginia, Melanie, Francisco, Max, Natalia, Carla, and Jonathan), and his 16 great-grandchildren carry on his legacy.<\/p>\n

Brother Juan was an exemplary father, grandfather, great-grandfather, pastor, teacher, church planter, missionary, friend, counselor, and leader. His passion for the study and preaching of God\u2019s Word was matchless. After growing up in his dear Cordoba, he began his ministerial training at IBRP in Buenos Aires and later completed studies at Holmes Bible College in Greenville, SC. John and his 'Dorita' were married in June of 1954 while serving on the ministerial team of the Tommy Hicks crusades in Argentina.<\/p>\n

He was one of the founders and the first superintendent of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church in Argentina, established in 1965. In 1968, he was one of the founders and the first director for the South American Bible Institute (IBSA). One of his great joys was to have planted and pastored the Christian Cathedral Church in Downtown Buenos Aires, pastored today by his son, Rev. David Passuelo.<\/p>\n

Not only did he serve alongside Dora as a career missionary, but also contributed to the establishment of IPHC works in Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Venezuela (alongside his friends, Charlene West and John Parker). He was a longstanding professor for CURSUM teaching across all Latin America. Brother Juan served in the precursor efforts to the WPHF alongside Bishop James D. Leggett, he participated in multiple IPHC World Conferences and always enjoyed traveling to preach, teach, translate, or break bread with his IPHC family around the world.<\/p>\n

Pastor Juan\u2019s heart to serve Christ\u2019s Kingdom reached beyond his denominational family. For many years, he was the President of the Pentecostal Evangelical Fellowship of Argentina (FECEP) and he assisted in the establishment of the Argentine Alliance of Christian Evangelical Churches (ACIERA). In 1986, he was elected to serve in the leadership of the Latin-American Evangelical Fellowship (CONELA). He was a founding member (1989) and then president (1992) of the Argentine World Missions Foundation (now World Missions Network\/ACIERA). For many years, Pastor Juan represented Argentina in the Pentecostal World Fellowship (PWF) where he also served as a speaker at a World Conference.<\/p>\n

The memory and work of brother Juan lives and continues through his family, many friends, and co-laborers in Christ. Everyone who knew him well also knew these lines of his favorite song, 'To God be the Glory' by Andrew Crouch:\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can I say thanks\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

For all the things You've done for me?<\/em><\/p>\n

Things so undeserved\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Yet You gave to prove Your love to me<\/em><\/p>\n

The voices of a million angels\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Could not express my gratitude<\/em><\/p>\n

All that I am\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

And ever hope to be<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>I owe it all to Thee\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Just let me live my life<\/em><\/p>\n

And let it pleasing, Lord to Thee<\/em><\/p>\n

And should I gain any praise\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Let it go to Calvary<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

With His Blood<\/em><\/p>\n

He has saved me<\/em><\/p>\n

With His power<\/em><\/p>\n

He has raised me<\/em><\/p>\n

To God glory<\/em><\/p>\n

For the things He has done\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was privileged to meet and travel with Bishop Passuelo while serving as IPHC\u2019s Chief of Staff alongside Presiding Bishop James D. Leggett.\u00a0 Bishop Passuelo served as the appointed representative for the Latin America continent on the World Pentecostal Holiness Fellowship Executive Committee.\u00a0 He also very quickly became the \u2018favored\u2019 translator for Presiding Bishop Leggett whenever we traveled in LAMCAR.\u00a0 We spent many hours together in both public and private settings.\u00a0 I am now privileged to serve alongside Max Barroso in World Missions Ministries where Max serves as the Director of The Awakening and as WMM\u2019s interim regional director for South America.\u00a0 I see so much of Bishop Passuelo in Max.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I read a quote some time ago that stated, \u201cEveryone leaves a footprint in his or her lifetime that affects generations long after we leave this world.\u201d \u00a0Wherever I travel in South America and, in the country of Argentina, I am constantly reminded of the indelible imprint that Bishop Passuelo left on the ministry fabric of that continent.\u00a0 He was one of the best examples of a Christian Gentleman and Stateman that I have met to-date.\u00a0 A prince of a man in every respect.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2nd Samuel, Chapter 3, King David said; \u201cA great man and a Prince has fallen in Israel this day.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0On behalf of a grateful church, we declare that \u201cA great man and a Prince has fallen in the Church of Jesus Christ this day.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I am confident that as you entered the gate of that Celestial City on Saturday morning, February 13th<\/sup>, you heard your Lord and Savior say, \u2018Well done, good and faithful servant\u2026.Enter into the joy of your Lord, John.\u2019 [NKJV]<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

May the grace and peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, and in particular, with the family of Bishop Juan [John] Victor Passuelo.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Dora Dane McNeill Sandhu <\/h1>

12 de agosto de 2020<\/strong> <\/h2>

Dora Dane McNeill Sandhu, 96, de West Columbia, SC, falleci\u00f3 pac\u00edficamente en su casa la noche del 12 de agosto de 2020. Se llevar\u00e1 a cabo un servicio familiar privado en la Iglesia de Santidad Pentecostal Ebenezer, el s\u00e1bado 15 de agosto de 2020, 11:00 A.M. El servicio se puede ver en Facebook y YouTube conect\u00e1ndose a la Iglesia de Santidad Pentecostal Ebenezer a trav\u00e9s de cualquiera de las fuentes. El logo de la iglesia incluye el nombre, con una cruz y puntos rojos alrededor. <\/p>

La Sra. Sandhu naci\u00f3 en McCormick, SC, y era la hija del fallecido Freddie Oscar y Winnie Dane Dew McNeill. Dora muri\u00f3 antes que su hermana, Winifred M. Caines, y sus tres hermanos: el reverendo James R. McNeill (Gerri), O. Ray McNeill (Mildred) y P. Wesley McNeill (Ginger). Le sobreviven su esposo, Jarnail Singh Sandhu, y dos hijos: Bobby Singh (Madhu) y Anand Singh (Holly), su nieto Paul Singh Sandhu, su hermana, Beth Stalbaum, y numerosas sobrinas y sobrinos. <\/p>

Desde muy joven, el deseo del coraz\u00f3n de Dora era ser maestra y misionera. Y su Se\u00f1or y Salvador hizo realidad ambos sue\u00f1os a trav\u00e9s de caminos inusuales. Su educaci\u00f3n comenz\u00f3 en Emmanuel College en Franklin Springs, Georgia, seguida de la escuela de enfermer\u00eda en Washington, DC. Continu\u00f3 su educaci\u00f3n mientras trabajaba como enfermera de salud p\u00fablica, y finalmente recibi\u00f3 su maestr\u00eda en enfermer\u00eda. Unos a\u00f1os m\u00e1s tarde, la Universidad de Lander comenz\u00f3 a buscar a alguien que dirigiera su programa de enfermer\u00eda. Solicit\u00f3 y ayud\u00f3 a comenzar el programa de enfermer\u00eda en Lander, cumpliendo as\u00ed su deseo de ense\u00f1ar. Despu\u00e9s de dejar Lander, se convirti\u00f3 en directora ejecutiva de la Asociaci\u00f3n de Enfermeras de Carolina del Sur, donde ten\u00eda la intenci\u00f3n de permanecer, posiblemente hasta su jubilaci\u00f3n. Sin embargo, todav\u00eda hab\u00eda otro sue\u00f1o en su coraz\u00f3n. <\/p>

En 1971, Dora llev\u00f3 a un grupo de j\u00f3venes de Ebenezer a un viaje misionero a M\u00e9xico. Despu\u00e9s de ese viaje, le escribi\u00f3 al director de la misi\u00f3n denominacional que sent\u00eda que era el momento. Despu\u00e9s de ser aceptada como misionera, pas\u00f3 varios a\u00f1os en Hong Kong sirviendo como enfermera misionera y como directora de la escuela secundaria Wing Kwong College. Este fue el cumplimiento de su sue\u00f1o misionero y tambi\u00e9n ten\u00eda un bono para ella. Conoci\u00f3 a su esposo, Jarnail, en un servicio religioso internacional mientras estaba en Hong Kong. Despu\u00e9s de mudarse a los Estados Unidos, ayud\u00f3 con su negocio de importaci\u00f3n y continu\u00f3 el ministerio en su iglesia local. <\/p>

Se pueden hacer memoriales en el Departamento de Misiones de la Iglesia de Santidad Pentecostal Ebenezer, 501 Church Street, West Columbia, SC 29172. <\/p>

En nombre de la Iglesia Internacional de Santidad Pentecostal y, en particular, de su familia misionera, les extiendo nuestro m\u00e1s sentido p\u00e9same, la familia y los amigos de la Sra. Dora McNeill Sandhu.<\/em><\/span> <\/p>

\u00a0<\/em><\/span> La Sra. Sandhu era miembro del clero "con licencia" de la Conferencia del Atl\u00e1ntico Medio cuando se reuni\u00f3 por primera vez con la Junta de Misiones Mundiales para expresar su deseo de ir a Hong Kong, China, para servir como m\u00e9dica misionera. La Junta de Misiones Mundiales aprob\u00f3 por unanimidad su nombramiento como misionera de carrera y solicit\u00f3 "que se vaya tan pronto como se puedan hacer los arreglos". Siendo una dama excepcionalmente dotada, su mandato incluy\u00f3 su servicio como misionera m\u00e9dica, directora de la escuela secundaria Wing Kwong, miembro auxiliar de mujeres, pastora de una iglesia, pastora asistente, dirigi\u00f3 y sirvi\u00f3 en el ministerio de ni\u00f1os y como administradora. de una cl\u00ednica y una escuela secundaria, todo mientras se desempe\u00f1aba como misionero de carrera en Hong Kong, China, de 1972 a 1979<\/em> . Aunque su ausencia en el cuerpo se siente profundamente, su ejemplo ha dejado un impacto eterno en el reino y en aquellos que encontr\u00f3 aqu\u00ed en esta tierra.<\/em><\/span> <\/p>

'La gracia est\u00e9 con todos ustedes.'"<\/span><\/em> <\/p>
