Updated: Rev. C.M. Becton has passed away.

[bishoph]

As some of you may know Bro. Becton was admitted to the hospital this past week with pneumonia, his condition has continued to deteriorate to the point that he is in a coma, and has been placed in hospice care. Please pray for the will of God concerning him, and pray for his wife and family that God will give them strength during this time.

Bro. Becton is one of the finest Christians I have ever had the privilege to know.

[ReformedDave]

Very nice man. My late father really thought highly of him.

"“A prince and a great man has fallen. . . .”
– II Samuel 3:38

It is with heavy hearts that Emmanuel Pentecostal Church announces the passing of our beloved Pastoral Elder, Rev. Cleveland M. Becton. Bro. Becton entered eternity peacefully and comfortably while surrounded by his family at approximately 10:45 p.m., November 16, 2010.

We grieve because of the vast emptiness his promotion leaves in our lives; we give thanks for his indelible impact upon our church and the world; and we rejoice in the God of his Salvation.

“Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful…. Enter into the joy of your Lord.”"

praying for the family...such a loss to earth such a gain to heaven.

[Sabby]

Never will forget his sermon at a Military Conference In K-Town in the mid'70s. He preached the "Certain Sound", that "Standard Pitch", that "A440"!
Great move of the Spirit of God afterwards.

[TJJJ]

Great man, what a gentleman. Something that is lacking in Pentecost today.

[ILG]

It is always strange to see the names of these giants as gone on.

[Esther]

Another giant has passed on to his reward. What a gentlemen he was. Never heard anyone say anything negative about him. What a legacy.
