Winston C. Hollingsworth<\/strong><\/h2>\n

(1937 – 2023)<\/h2>\n

Rev. Winston C. Hollingsworth, age 86, passed away at The Retreat Hospice Center, Mobile, Alabama, Wednesday, April 12, 2023. He was born on February 2, 1937, in Nokomis, Florida, to Grady Hollingsworth and Agnes Albritton Hollingsworth. He was one of 11 children.<\/p>\n

Winston dedicated his life to serving Christ and others in many capacities from college days at Troy Baptist Student Union, pianist, home mission trips to Oregon, band director at Flomaton High School, to church planting team in Huntsville, AL. He shared his love of reading and research while serving as librarian at Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs, Georgia and Huntsville City Schools. He served over 40 years in foreign missions.<\/p>\n

Many of these years were spent in the mission field with his first wife, Vertice, and children. They served in India and East Africa until her death in 1996. The last 10 years he served with his second wife, Marie, where they served together, beating all odds of poor health in Kenya, East Africa. Winston fought the good fight to spread the gospel and teach the Word of God and win souls for Christ. He never ceased to serve others and support missions with the Pentecostal Holiness Church. He had a heart for letting the world know about Jesus.<\/p>\n

He loved his family, and kept relationships with his siblings and grandchildren and loved them fiercely.<\/p>\n

A Note from World Missions Ministries<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Rev. Winston Hollingsworth and his wife Vertice were ordained as clergy members of the Alabama Conference, known today as the Alpha Conference, in 1978. That same year, they began their service<\/span> as IPHC career missionaries in India, later continuing into Kenya, Africa. Following Vertices\u2019 death, the Lord providentially brought Marie into Winston\u2019s life and together they served as IPHC career missionaries from 1999 until they retired in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember meeting Rev. Hollingsworth when I was a student at Emmanuel College. He was a very quiet, polite, efficient and kind, Christian gentleman who always had a smile for everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The IPHC remains deeply indebted to Winston and Marie Hollingsworth for their service at East Africa Bible College (EABC) when it went through a very difficult transition from 2004 through 2005. \u00a0Their faith, perseverance, and training enabled them to withstand the storm with grace and courage as they helped to guide the Bible School through this untimely and challenging crisis. The abundance of fruit that is being reaped there today by career missionaries Kevin (EABC Director) and Summer Sneed is, in large measure, due to the Hollingsworths faithfulness. EABC\u2019s influence extends far beyond Kenya today, as students have made their way there from Uganda, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi, Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u00a0honor and remember Rev. Hollingsworth\u2019s life and ministry legacy and give thanks to God for his service as a beloved and cherished missionary and minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ knowing that eternity will fully reveal the full Kingdom impact that missionaries like Winston Hollingsworth have made.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

May the peace and comfort of the Holy Spirit sustain Marie and the Hollingsworth family as they walk through this \u201cvalley of the shadow of death\u201d!<\/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>
