Dear Sis Falla,

It was an honor for me to share in your special reception. When they handed you the check for $5,000.00 I could not help but think of the many people you have helped financially on this forum and how that God was just returning the blessing to you.

Of all the people I have met from this forum, you have been truly one of the most honest, sincere, and as like your forum personality. Your parents must have been "word" people as your brothers, sisters, and yourself are so full of the word, can quote and understand it.

The heritage your parents passed to their children, and from you to your children was so evident there on Saturday night. We could not honor you, your husband, & your sister and brother-in-law as God will one day honor you for all your kingdom service.

I feel blessed to be your friend and sister.

Love & Blessings, Rhoni

P.S.The love and respect you received from your Pastor and his wife [your daughter & Son-in-law] was a tribute to your life's example. You are blessed.

Great to see you 3 beautiful ladies together. And amen Rhoni those "kids" know the scriptures.

Many thanks to you, Sis. Alvear, for your sweet words and your
blessings. Yes, we have a goodly heritage. What we have received
is because of those who preceded us and made wise choices as they
sought God for wisdom, counsel and direction from a God who is able
to do exceeding abundantly above all we can think or ask, according
to the power that worketh in us.

Of course for the heritage to continue, we must pass it on as a legacy
to our children and they to their children. A let down in any generation can be
a loss of a generation and usually more than one.

Hugs,

Bro. Benincasa,

I didn't take any of the pictures. Our eldest daughter is the family
photographer. All six of our adult children have digital cameras. But
the eldest takes the most and took over 400 of the Reception Friday
night and Sunday's 50th Anniversity Celebration of the church. Our
family believes in "making memories".

Blessings,

Sister Fella, I've so much enjoyed reading about your special service, and looking at the pictures also.

You're such an encouragement. I'm so glad you've handed down your legacy to your children and grandchildren. What you and yours stand for is so important.........more so today than ever before.

God bless!

I remember well early days of "Jesus Name Pentecostal Mission", dad called it "Mission" due to the fact that he did not presume really that he was even called to preach. He said he would just meet with his family, and if God chose to do more with it he would rejoice in that.

Well, 50 years later "The Refuge" is a continuing witness that God has honored Dad's sacrifice and has used his efforts to bless thousands of folks over the years.

You, Bill, James and Alice I honor today for your investment of fifty years into the Kingdom of God. May the Lord clearly show you the paths that He has set before you. May He give Bro. Chancy, Sis. Cynthia and all the Refuge's leaders and members insight and wisdom, may He show you where He is working that you all can continue to join Him in what He is doing around you.

As you know Anthony our thirty-seven year special needs son had a terrible fall just as we were planning to leave to join you Friday evening. We spent the evening in the emergency room and then back again Saturday morning for several hours. When he fell, he was knocked out, and he has injured his shoulder and scraped up his head. Thank God, there are no broken bones and the CAT scan shows no head injury, however he is so sore that he cannot not walk or even feed himself due to the shoulder injury. We appreciate all your prayers, it feels like years of progress has been lost in a moment. However, we are not going on feeling, we are walking in the grace and power of the living God. His hand has been on Anthony thru many falls without any lingering damage, and we know that He will direct our paths.

I pray the Lord's blessing on the Anniversery service today, may you and the Church be greatly blessed.

Dear Brother,

Thank you for your sweet, kind and encouraging words. We were SO sorry
to hear of Anthony's fall. Had special prayer again for him last night. Glad to
hear he is improving, although slowly. So many times in my lives, there have
been things I wanted to happen fast, but they didn't. Sometimes there is that
"patient waiting" on the Lord, one day at a time, until we see the sun come
out from behind that cloud and we can smile again.

May the Lord give strength, grace and encouragement to your hearts daily,
in Jesus Name!

Love you, Brother! HUGS!

Thank you, Sis. Sarah. Your words are SO true! If many could only understand that we each have to do our part for it to happen.
We must be diligent, steadfast. immovable, always abounding, knowing
our labour in the Lord is not in vain.

Hugs,
