June Carter Canavesio<\/strong><\/h2>\n

(1931 – 2024)<\/h2>\n

June Carter Canavesio was born June 12, 1931, to W.W. and Ruby Cates Carter in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, and passed into her eternal rest and reward on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, in Bethany, Oklahoma at the age of 92 years and nine months. She was raised in Virginia. Early on, she was taught to have a deep devotion to God and the Church. She was born again before her sixth birthday and baptized with the Holy Spirit when she was ten years old. She lived her entire life devoted to Christ.<\/p>\n

June earned an AA Degree from Emmanuel College (Franklin Springs, GA), a BA Degree from Roanoke College (VA), and completed postgraduate work at the University of North Carolina. While teaching at Emmanuel College, during a campus prayer meeting, June received a distinct, definite call to be a missionary to Spanish-speaking people.<\/p>\n

Beginning when she was 23 years old and single, her missionary career included assignments in Texas\/Mexico as co-founder and director of the Berea Bible Institute, teaching in Monterey, Mexico, and later in Argentina and Costa Rica. She established and directed CURSUM (Advanced Ministerial Training Program for Latin America).<\/p>\n

June married Elvio Canavesio on May 14, 1988. They moved to Miami, Florida, where she continued to direct CURSUM until her retirement in 1999. After their retirement, Elvio and June moved to South Carolina and became directors of the South Carolina Conference Hispanic Ministries, establishing 12 new Hispanic churches in 12 years. They moved to Oklahoma City in 2013.<\/p>\n

She assisted Elvio in writing and publishing,\u00a0Lord, How Did You Do It?<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 a history of his call and missionary service. On the day of her passing, she was delivered the first copy of her own book,\u00a0Joyfully Committed<\/em> \u2013 a true missionary story of God\u2019s grace to a young lady through adventures, trials, and triumphs. It, too, is a historical account of her life of dedicated service to God and the IPHC, and is dedicated to \u201cThe Awakening\u201d (youth mission program of the IPHC).<\/p>\n

June was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Reva Kesling and Frances Carter; her beloved husband, Elvio; and son-in-law, Danny Nix. She is survived by her daughter, Esther Nix; son, David Canavesio (Jenee); four grandchildren, Bryan Nix (Whitney), Seth Nix (Madeline), Emily Canavesio Herron (Kitt) and Andrew Canavesio; three great-grandchildren, Galia and Elizabeth Nix and Gia Herron; and several other relatives and a host of friends, including many Spanish-speaking Christians who were impacted by her missionary and teaching ministry.<\/p>\n

When asked what she wanted inscribed on her headstone, June simply replied \u201cA missionary to the Spanish People.\u201d<\/p>\n

Visitation for June will be held on Friday, March 15, 2024, from 1 \u2013 8 p.m. at Buchanan Funeral Service, 8712 N Council Rd. Oklahoma City, OK 73132. The funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 16, 2024, at Passion Church, 3301 N Council Rd. Bethany, OK 73008.<\/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 celebrate and honor the life and legacy of June Carter Canavesio, whose impact will not soon be forgotten.<\/span><\/p>\n

June and her late husband Elvio faithfully served as IPHC missionaries across Latin and South America where they pioneered numerous, lasting ministries. She began her 45-year-long missionary career as a single, 23-year-old woman in Mexico in 1954 where she founded Berea Bible Institute and continued to serve as its director for six years before moving to Argentina where she served for five years and directed the Bible School there for two. Then, in 1978, June was named the coordinator of Bible Schools and the Theological Education by Extension (T.E.E.) program in Latin America. In 1985 she founded CURSUM, the Advanced Ministerial Training Program for Latin America, and continued to serve as its director until she retired alongside her husband in 1999.<\/span><\/p>\n

June and Elvio met while both active in the ministry in Latin America and married in 1988. An effective, powerful minister in her singleness, her impact only broadened in marriage. During June\u2019s ministry, both single and in marriage, she witnessed thousands saved by the Gospel of Jesus and hundreds of churches planted. She helped disciple and equip countless ministers through various Bible Schools, many of whom are still active across Latin America today and remember her impact on their lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

IPHC General Superintendent, Bishop A.D. Beacham remarked, “June Carter Canavesio has joined the ranks of faithful servants of Jesus who have run their course. Recently, I had the privilege of writing an endorsement for her soon-to-be-published autobiography. I considered that book to be a significant, historical testimony of life as a missionary. Her passing just adds to the impact of that book as one who, in the words of Hebrews 11:4, “being dead, yet speaketh” (KJV). The daughter of the late Rev. W.W. and Ruby Carter, and widow of the late Rev. Elvio Canavesio, she came from a family that was, and is, a vital part of IPHC history and future. Susan and I are grateful for the privilege we had to know this inspiring servant of Christ.”<\/span><\/p>\n

World Missions Ministries Executive Director J. Talmadge Gardner shares, \u201cMrs. June\u2019s legacy as a missionary, educator, teacher, preacher, visionary, and administrator is legendary in the IPHC. Her passion for training and preparing men and women for ministry service was evident, especially across Latin and South America. As just one example, CURSUM, which she directed for thirteen years, and which trained 1,380 pastors and leaders during her tenure, continues to offer this advanced training to an increasing number of ministers in our four Latin America Regions today. When I think of women missionaries I have known and whom God has used powerfully, this Godly, saintly lady must be included in this listing along with names like Mrs. Marguerite Howard, Ms. Fannie Lowe, Mrs. Charlene West, Ms. Anne Lyons, Mrs. Judith Perez, and Mrs. Maxine Lopez. Missionary heroines like Mrs. Canavesio have also inspired a new generation of young missionaries. I am praying they too will become joyfully committed as June so well displayed through her life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

World Missions extends deep condolences to June\u2019s family. May the Comforter be ever-present at this time of sorrow.<\/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>
