Does your family and church know about AFF??

what all did they do at your appreciation service?
anyone speak or sing? did you have a dinner afterwards?

Great to have Amazing Grace back on the forum too - welcome

Bro. Mark,

Sorry, I missed seeing this but it's 2 o'clock a.m. and I have to be up
pretty early so will endeavor to answer your questions asap. Couldn't
do you justice right now. Did you look at all the pics on the first page!

Hugs,

Congratulations Sis Falla. How wonderful for you to receive this Honor.
I have a memory that goes back to 1967 of visiting there as a newly wed.
We are so blessed to have met a few of your family members and all are wonderful.
Praying you all have a blessed Jubilee service tomorrow.

Sis Falla- While I offer you my congratulations for 50 years of faithful service, it is your church home that should be congratulated as well. How fortunate they are to have such a faithful member. You are a bright and shining example to us all. It was an honor to share in your celebration even if only by long distance. (Thank you, Sis. Rhoni, for making that possible!) Would love to have been there.

The photos are treasures. You are a treasure as well!.

Thanks for the gorgeous floral arrangement sent to me by friends at AFF.
You know who you are!

Sis. Rhoni and Sis. Amazing Grace came, along with approximately 250
guests. It was a wonderful evening. Bro. Larry was there also. Bro. Crakjak,
wife and son were leaving to come, and due to an accident, they were unable
to come. (Of course Bro. Larry and Crakjak are my blood brothers.)

Another wonderful surprise, a short time after Sis. Rhoni arrived she got a phone
call and it was for me. Bro. One Accord and Sis. Rhoni had arranged that although
he could not come in person to congratulate me, he came longdistance from Alabama
via cell phone. So good to talk to him. Thanks, Sis. Rhoni for making your cell phone
available. It meant a lot.

My husband and brother, just younger than myself, and his wife and I, were
also honored as longtime trustees from the beginning of the church being incorporated.

Thanks again and God bless each of you!

Hugs,

Nancy,

I am so sorry to miss this very memorable time, we were looking forward to being there and celebrating with you, family and friends. 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.

Sorry to hear about Anthony'a accident. I'll be remembering him and you all in my prayers.
