Rev. Elvio Canavesio<\/strong><\/h2>\n

March 3, 1931 \u2013 March 3, 2022<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Elvio Canavesio went to be with his Lord and Savior on March 3, 2022; his 91st birthday.<\/p>\n

He was born on March 3, 1931, in Leones, Argentina, to Domingo and Dominga Canavesio. When he was five years old, his mother set him on the bed and said to God, \"I don't have much, but I give you Elvio.\u201d This humble gift and consecration would result in countless lives coming to Christ throughout a ministry which spanned more than 65 years.<\/p>\n

At the age of 15, Elvio gave his heart to the Lord and, a couple of years later, he attended Bible School in Buenos Aires. There, he fell in love with the missionaries\u2019 daughter, Emma Andresen. Since her father would not let them marry before he had an education, Elvio decided to attend Holmes Bible College, and off he went with no money in his pocket and not speaking a word of English. In 1957, upon his graduation from Holmes, Elvio returned to Argentina and married Emma. Together, they pastored churches and traveled with a revival tent, going from city to city evangelizing.<\/p>\n

In Argentina, Elvio and Emma raised their two children, Esther and David. Eventually, they became United States citizens and were ordained as full-time missionaries with the Pentecostal Holiness Church. In 1974, Elvio became the supervisor for all the Latin American and Caribbean work. It was then that the family moved to Oklahoma City and, from there, he continued traveling to all the nations in his care.<\/p>\n

In 1978, Elvio, Emma, and David moved to Costa Rica and, just nine years later, Emma passed away from cancer. Then, when all seemed lost, God proved himself faithful, as Elvio fell in love with, and married, long-time missionary June Carter. Together, they continued working throughout Latin America until their retirement in 2001. Retirement, however, was not the end as they settled in South Carolina and began a timely and successful ministry with the growing Hispanic community there, which included teaching in the Instituto Nacional de Entrenamiento (INE).<\/p>\n

He is preceded in death by his wife Emma Canavesio, his parents Domingo and Dominga Canavesio, and his brother Celestino Canavesio. Elvio is survived by his wife of 33 years, June Canavesio, daughter Esther Nix and husband Danny Nix, son David Canavesio and wife Jennee Canavesio; four grandchildren, Bryan Nix, Seth and wife Madeline Nix, Emily and husband Kitt Herron, and Andrew Canavesio; one great granddaughter, Galia Nix; one sister, Raquel and husband Beto Busto, and many nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n

Elvio\u2019s life was marked by a fervent passion to reach the lost. When he arrived in heaven, on his 91st birthday, there must have been a multitude of souls there, celebrating his arrival and thanking him for sharing the message of Christ\u2019s salvation with them.<\/p>\n

-------------------------------------------<\/p>\n

On behalf of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church World Missions family, we honor and remember, with gratitude, the life and ministry legacy of\u00a0 REV. ELVIO CANAVESIO, <\/strong>and we give thanks to God for his service as a revered missionary and minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

To Ms. June, Esther, Danny, David, Jennee, Bryan, Seth, Madeline (and Galia), Emily, Kitt, Andrew, and Raquel please accept our deepest condolences. Know that the thoughts and prayers of your IPHC family, and especially your missionary family, are with you in your time of sorrow and grief. We are praying that God will give you His strength in this, your time of great need.\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

IPHC World Missions Ministries has been blessed to have had many extra-ordinary missionaries serving over the course of its 100+ year history. <\/em>Elvio Canavesio without a doubt was one of the most proficient and charismatic\/magnetic missionaries in the rich history of IPHC World Missions Ministries. A <\/em>man of deep faith, prayer, vision, courage, and perseverance. Time is proving that he is irreplaceable.\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

William James said, \u201cThe great use of life is to spend it on something that will outlast us.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When the World Missions Board appointed Elvio as General Supervisor of Latin America and the Caribbean in 1972, the Pentecostal Holiness Church was established in four Latin American Countries: Argentina, Cuba, Costa Rica, and Mexico. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

By the time of his retirement in 1999, and after having served as General Supervisor for 27 years, the IPHC had established a ministry presence in 17 new countries. The LAMCAR Continent went from having 71 churches and 1,150 members in 1972, to a membership of 717 churches and 63,000 members in 1999.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/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 I paraphrase this statement by saying\u2026.\u201cA great \u2018missionary\u2019 and a Prince has fallen in the Church of Jesus Christ this day.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Elvio Canavesio has now entered the Church Triumphant. But, his legacy is embodied in people like me, and the many who he influenced.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Well done Elvio!\u00a0 <\/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>
