Marion Smith<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1940 \u2013 2022<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We are sad to announce the passing of Marion Smith, wife of Bishop Clifton Smith, on Monday evening, March 21st<\/sup>. She loved the people of Sonshine Network Ministries and served not only as First Lady and Leader for Ministers Wives Fellowship, but also as the Conference WIN Director, and office assistant. Marion spent many years ministering with her husband as an IPHC Missionary in England and Europe, as well as a Pastor\u2019s wife in several churches in the U.S., and finally in West Palm Beach. More than anything, she loved her family, her beloved husband, Clifton, their two boys, Stephen and Chris, her sweet daughter-in-law Eileen, and her precious grandchildren, Zachary, Alyssa, and Chris Jr. She will be greatly missed by them all.<\/p>\n

A memorial service will be held on Saturday March 26th<\/sup> at Highland Memorial Gardens\/Chapel, 3229 State Rd. 436, Apopka, FL 32703<\/u>. Family visitation will be held from 2:00pm-3:00pm and the service will begin at 3:00pm. There will be a light reception held at the Sonshine Network Ministries Conference office immediately following the service.<\/p>\n

Cards of Condolence may be sent to\u00a03329 <\/span><\/span>East Semoran Blvd.<\/span>, Apopka, FL 32703<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

-----------------<\/em><\/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 MRS. MARION SMITH, <\/strong>and we give thanks to God for her service as a revered and cherished missionary.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

To our dear friend and ministry colleague Bishop Smith, Stephen and Eileen, Chris, Zachary, Alyssa, and Chris, Jr., please accept our deepest condolences. Know that the thoughts and prayers of your missionary family, are with you in your time of great sorrow and grief. We are praying that God will give you His strength as you walk through this valley.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In 1978, Marion and her husband, Clifton Smith, became IPHC\u2019s first missionaries to Europe. These two demonstrated the IPHC\u2019s heart to participate in the Great Commission.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In The Simultaneous Principle<\/span>, written by Dr. Frank Tunstall, you will find the following description about the Smith\u2019s tenure of service in World Missions.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>Vision for ministry in England took an enthusiastic<\/em> leap when Clifton Smith announced his call to serve as a missionary in England. Clifton and Marion (who was an English citizen) went to London in October 1978 under the Operation Antioch program. Smith\u2019s goal was to pioneer a church in London. Smith located property in the Finsbury Park area of London that became the home of the first Pentecostal Holiness Church in the capital. B. E. Underwood organized the church in September 1980 with 19 adults and their families. Several missionaries caught the vision and joined Smith in London.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I read a quote a number of years ago that stated, \u201cEveryone leaves a footprint in his or her lifetime that affects generations long after we leave this world.\u201d The Kingdom imprint of Clifton and Marion Smith on the missionary fabric of the IPHC in Europe and London, England in particular, is indelible.\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all,\u201d especially - Marion\u2019s family! \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On behalf of IPHC\u2019s World Missions family,<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/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>
