Pepito Gadallo 1963-2021<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On a mountain top in the province of La Union, Philippines, on November 16, 1963, a boy was born \u2013 Pepito Gadallo. As he grew up, his ambition was to become a lawyer, but, as the writer of Proverbs puts it, \u201cThe mind of man plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps\u201d (16:9). Instead of studying law, he felt the call of God on his life and attended Baguio Bible Institute and graduated in 1987. Recognizing his leadership qualities, Rev. Ed Rhodes, Director of Baguio Bible Institute, encouraged Pepito to attend Asia Pacific Theological Seminary. On January 11, 1989, Pepito was ordained as a minister in the Philippine Pentecostal Holiness Church, and on March 31, 1989, he graduated from the seminary with a Master of Biblical Studies degree. In June 1989, he joined the faculty of Grace Bible Institute and thus began a 32-year ministry of service to His Lord and to the Philippine Pentecostal Holiness Church.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\n
For 15 years, Rev. Gadallo served as a teacher at GBI, the last 12 years as the Director. But he was not content to serve just at a residential Bible school that taught courses in English. He also traveled with others to the northern provinces of Luzon Island to conduct Bible classes in the local dialects. Thus, providing the opportunity for many pastors and young people who could not attend a residential school to study the Bible in their own dialect and prepare themselves for the ministry.In May 1996, while still serving as Director of GBI, Rev. Gadallo planted a church in the town of Rosario, La Union. Jesus is Our King Fellowship is a thriving church that has given birth to other churches as well.<\/p>\n

From 2005 to 2015, Rev. Gadallo also served as Superintendent of the Northwest Conference. The NW Conference has produced capable pastors and lay leaders because of his vision and mission. These pastors and lay leaders have pioneered and established local churches in Baguio City, La Union, and Mountain Province. Moreover, his leadership at the conference level brought stability and prosperity both in the spiritual and material aspects.<\/p>\n

From January 2016 until his death on August 7, 2021, Rev. Gadallo served as the Chairman of the National Board and Bishop of the Philippine Pentecostal Holiness Church. During this time, he traveled extensively to conduct seminars and challenge pastors to evangelize the islands of the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Bishop Pepito was also one of the translators for the Full Life Study Bible - Revised Ilokano Version, which was launched in December 2018 by Life Publishers International.<\/p>\n

He never promoted himself for any office, but sought only to serve. His heartbeat was to spread the Kingdom of God throughout the islands of the Philippines. Those of us who knew him can never forget his broad smile and his hearty laugh. None of us will forget those moments when his eyes gleamed with delight over someone\u2019s happiness or accomplishment. Nor will we forget those moments when his eyes flowed with tears over the great pain or grief someone was bearing.<\/p>\n

The week before his hospitalization was spent conducting numerous Bible studies to various groups, including police officers. When he entered the hospital, he took his iPad, worship music, and an app for preparing sermons. He passed from this life of walking by faith to enter an eternal life walking by sight with the One he served. He stayed occupied with his calling until he drew his last breath and heard his Master call to him, \u201cCome up higher!\u201d<\/p>\n

He leaves behind his wife, Mary, son, Philip, daughter, Melody and son-in-law, Raymond Padin, along with his mother, Emiliana Gadallo, his sister, Imelda, and brother, Sofronio. He also leaves behind a host of pastors and laypersons who were taught by him and who cherish his memory.<\/p>\n<\/address>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

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>
