Barbara Ann Dickinson<\/strong><\/h2>\n

(1937 – 2023)<\/h2>\n

Barbara Ann Dickinson (nee Murdock) suddenly passed away at the age of 86 on Monday, December 18, 2023, at the Alamance Regional Medical Center in Burlington, North Carolina. Barbara was born on November 26, 1937, in Wichita, Kansas to Bertha Murdock Starr (nee Adams) and Curtis Murdock. She married James Lyle Dickinson in Lamont, California on February 14, 1953, and the two went on to enjoy 68 years of marriage before James passed away on February 19, 2021.<\/p>\n

Barbara was a dedicated Christian and worked as a missionary with the International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC) in the 70s and 80s. Her most notable field work was in Costa Rica where she lived with her husband and their two daughters. She went on to work at the IPHC headquarters in Bethany, Oklahoma for a short time and later became a registered nurse.<\/p>\n

Barbara avidly enjoyed genealogical research and she leaves behind her many binders documenting her extended family records. She was also known for her recipe collection that she curated into a cookbook that included her favorite stories of her grandchildren.<\/p>\n

In addition to her husband, Barbara was preceded in death by her daughter, Terri DeAnn West, and her brother, Ronald Starr. She is survived by her daughter, Karen LeAnn Hall (spouse, Ross Emerson Hall), her brother, Donald Starr, and her 11 grandchildren: Jonathan West (spouse, Nicole), Jesse West (spouse, Amber), David West (spouse, Wilma), John Michael Hall (spouse, Nick), Stephen Hall, James Hall, Candace Duan (spouse, Weikang), Camille Frink (spouse, Kevin), Matthew Hall, Walter Andrew Hall, and Caitlin Pope (spouse, Derek). In addition, Barbara was blessed with six great-grandchildren: Addie and Judah West, Meredith and Barrett Frink, Maverick Pope, and Frederick Duan. Her surviving family members take comfort in the knowledge that she is now in heaven with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

The family will have a private celebration honoring Barbara after the new year.<\/p>\n

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

On behalf of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church World Missions Ministries family, we honor and remember the life and ministry legacy of Mrs. Barbara Dickinson, and we give thanks to God for her service as a cherished missionary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout their time on the mission field, the Dickinsons were given the opportunity to help establish several churches and lead many souls to Christ in Costa Rica.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below is an excerpt about James and Barbara’s time on the field from Dr. Frank Tunstall’s book, The Simultaneous Principal<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“James and Barbara Dickinson arrived in Costa Rica in 1970 and started a boat ministry along the waterways in northern Costa Rica. Dickinson conducted services up and down both sides of the river and established a church on the south side, near Barra del Colorado. He built a thatched roof facility there in 1973. Dickinson had a unique gift to organize evangelistic campaigns involving the young Costa Rican evangelists. He worked with a team in 1972 in tent evangelism. As a result, churches were established in San Ramon and Palo Seco.<\/span><\/p>\n

The evangelistic effort in Costa Rica extended to the Pacific Ocean by 1970, and a church was planted in Las Vegas de Palo Seco. At the same time, ministry began on the northeast corner of the country on the Caribbean Sea at La Barra de Colorado.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dickinsons served as IPHC Missionaries from 1970 through 1974 and later served an additional term from 1982 through 1983.<\/span><\/p>\n

The IPHC celebrates having two conferences in Costa Rica today.\u00a0 The historic \u2018original\u2019 Conference reports having 60 churches and 7,000 members and the new, \u2018second\u2019 Conference reports having 35 churches and 2,500 members. We continue to build on the legacy of pioneer missionaries like Barbara and James who labored faithfully in Costa Rica.\u00a0 To God be the glory!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The IPHC missionary family extends its deepest sympathies to Mrs. Karen Hall and all of Barbara\u2019s extended family. \u00a0Scripture pronounces a blessing on those who mourn.\u00a0 May that special anointing be extended to you as you mourn the earthly departure of your dear mother<\/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>
