History of the Christ Holy Sanctified Church draft_08042010

In the year of 1914, the late Mother Sarah A. King appealed to a Caucasian Methodist Home Mission Society located in Shreveport, LA for assistance in setting up and organizing a Home Mission Society. The Methodist Society responded to Mother King‟s request. With a small group of women, Mother Sarah King began the Home Mission Society. Mother King was met with much resistance, but with tenacity and vision she continued to work. Mother King was a great teacher and role model of holiness. Through her dynamic teaching, there were some women who readily accepted the Doctrine of Sanctification and the Pentecostal experience. These women went on to teach Sanctification to others in their community. I consider Mother S.A. King a bridge builder for approximately three generations due to being blessed to live to reach ninety (90) plus years. Mother King presided as the National Home Mission Society President for approximately thirty-six faithful and productive years. After Mother King completed her section of bridge to her generation she charged Mother B.B. Charles to continue where she left off building. In or about 1970, Missionary B.B. Charles (Mother Charles) was appointed to the office of President of the National Home & Foreign Mission Society. Mother Charles served in this position for fifteen (15) faithful years. After fulfilling her years as National Home & Foreign Mission President, Mother Charles was honored and dub as the National Home and Foreign Mission Society President Emeritus. After mother Charles completed her section of the bridge, in or about l985, Mother Marie Walton was appointed to the office of Home and Foreign Mission Society President. The late Mother Marie Walton faithfully and willingly worked on her section of the bridge until 1989. Mother Marie Walton‟s section of the bridge was vital, because she made a connection with the Home and Foreign Mission Society‟s Presidents who continues to date building their section of the bridge into the 21st Century. The section of each generation‟s bridge represent: mentoring, training, teaching, praying and role modeling a life style of holiness. Therefore, each mission president has a mandate to make sure that the gifts and talents God has given us to share with the body of Christ are being bridged over to the next generation. If God extends our lives as he did for Mother King, we will touch the next generations. Mother King knew well that we can‟t build our section of the bridge haphazardly or recklessly. I believe Mother King read, I Corinthians 3:11 which states, “…as wise master builders, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereupon, but let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon” [KJV]. The National Women‟s Mission Society stands today, because Mother S.A King, Mother B.B. Charles and Mother Marie Walton builded wisely by focusing on the generations coming after them and not on the distractions and struggles we know that each of them had to sometime experience and endure for the cause of Christ and the next generation. A lesson can be learned from these forerunners in that, if we allow ourselves to become distracted by the negative things that Satan causes to occur in our ministries, we will miss the true purpose for which God has called us. That call is to make sure our Mission Societies are meeting the needs of the

women who God has placed in our care across the generational lines that God has placed in our care. If we are building our bridges wisely, these women will grow and mature in the things of God and become women of purpose who will influence their generation with the same bridge building skills and tools of love, mentoring, training, prayer, teaching and role modeling of those who walked before us. Following are other National Home & Foreign Mission Society Presidents that have served at the National level: In or about l990, Evangelist R. Hickson was appointed to the office of Home and Foreign Mission Society President. She served in this position until 1991. In or about l992, Missionary Julia Wilson was appointed to the position of National Home and Foreign Mission Society President. She served in this position until 1996. In l997, Rev. Deloise Siller was appointed to the position of National Home and Foreign Mission Society President. President Siller continues in this position to date. In 2007, the National Home and Foreign Mission Society‟s was renamed “National Women’s Home Mission Society” when the Foreign Mission Society became an independent department.

Bishop W.F. Mize of the Light House, CHSC in Spokane, Washington was called to minister in the foreign fields in l952 and later developed a great vision for this work in l963. Bishop Mize later was appointed the CHSC Foreign Mission Missionary. In or about the early l970s Bishop Mize made his first trip along with the late Bishop King to Nigeria. As a result, in l972, the Nigerian church became part of the Christ Holy Sanctified church organization. Bishop Mize continued as the Liaison to Nigeria from l973 to l980 in an effort to maintain the CHSC‟s relationship with the Nigerian churches. Because of Bishop Mize‟s love for Foreign Mission, he made great personal sacrifices to see the gospel shared with those who were starving for what the Americans have taken for granted, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Bishop Mize continues to carry in his heart the burden for the lost and struggling churches in Africa. Bishop Mize‟s current vision is to see the Foreign Mission work revitalized and passed on to the next generation who, he prays, will have an even greater vision, love and zeal in advancing the kingdom of God in the foreign fields. The late Mother Tryphosa King (Wife of the late Bishop U.S. King) was also carried a vision and burden for the Foreign Mission field. Mother King worked untiringly sending financial support, clothing, Sunday school materials and Bibles to Africa. Several years later, in or about l972, Mother King‟s vision was manifested when she, Bishop King, Bishop Mize and a host of other saints journeyed to Africa. It was Mother King‟s delight to finally meet and touch those souls that that she had been praying for and sharing with over the years through the mail system. We can be sure that the late Mother Tryphosa King carried the same burden and vision as Bishop King and Bishop Mize in seeing the Foreign Mission work continued by the hands of the next generation until the return of Christ. In 2007, Bishop Mize and Mother Tryphosa King‟s vision came to manifestation when Board One (Presiding Bishops and officers) voted to separate the Foreign Mission from the Home Mission Society. This decision was made based on an observation that the Foreign Mission Ministry‟s work was extensive enough to function as an independent entity giving the newly appointed leader an opportunity focus solely on this work. Therefore, in 2007 Bishop G.E. Jones appointed Pastor Alice Gibson as the International Foreign Mission Society President. Pastor Alice Gibson carries the same burden, love and vision for the foreign field as did Bishop U.S. King, Bishop W. F. Mize and Mother T. King. who stood on Matthew 28:19-20 which states, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe

all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Today and in the days ahead, we can continue look forward to hearing more great testimonies regarding the exciting work that will be done through the International Foreign Mission Society, under the leadership of Pastor Alice Gipson. The History of the National Women‟s Home Mission Society and International Foreign Mission Society were respectively submitted by: Rev. Deloise Siller, President National Women’s Home Mission Society

A REPORT FROM OUR MISSIONARIES Liberian Humanitarian-Aid project. On Monday July 20, 2009 Rev. Dr. Alice (Lindsay) Gibson, International President of Foreign Mission for the CHSC, and her staff forwarded a 20-ft container of Humanitarian Aid( e.g. clothing, electronics, bikes, bibles, shoes, rice, beans, flour, sugar,& milk); of over 12,000-Lbs to Pastor Samuel Dorbor of the Life Community Church in Liberia, Africa. Supt Jackie Tarlenton, 2nd Vice-President, (Sacramento, Ca.) of the Christ Holy Sanctified Church of America, Inc. said that \"this was a historical event, and during his 30 yr membership in this church, nothing this monumental has ever been done like this. To God be the Glory! Rev. Dr. Alice was ordained in the AME church and has served throughout Texas, Maryland, and Colorado in many AME churches. She and her husband have traveled throughout East & West Africa, planting missions and churches in Zambia, and Liberia, Africa. Her motto is: “ See the human need like Jesus, then go forward… Reaching the Nations for Christ.\" Her Foreign Mission Day theme for 2009 was: \"Connecting the Church to God's Mission Journey.\" Pastor Samuel Dorbor and the Life Community Church family in Brewerville, Liberia, West Africa are building their own church with their own hands. They make their own brick from the dirt straw and water. They also used a chain saw ( that we sent to them), to cut down trees, for construction material to build their church building. Information about AIDS in Africa and how we can help: From www.DiseaseEducation.com (New Hope for AIDS) NEW HOPE FOR AIDS IN AFRICA HIV/AIDS is a pandemic in Africa, particularly in Southern Africa where 70% percent of the world's 42 million people infected with the disease live. There are twenty-six million people living in sub-Saharan Africa who are infected with HIV/AIDS. It is the leading cause of death on the continent. In fact, the number of children with HIV/AIDS is rising in every region of the world at an epidemic rate, and this has gotten the attention of world leaders who are committed to acting now to change these alarming trends. And if this growing problem is not bad enough, a new strain of the AIDS virus has been recently discovered to be resistant to any known drug. The U.S. government is proposing a $15 billion dollar budget to fight AIDS in Africa and in the Caribbean, and the Global Fund located in Switzerland is proposing to match that amount. Fighting the disease has become, without a doubt, the number one health concern in the world. Yet hope for the millions of infected people around the globe has emerged from the most unlikely of place, the field of nutrition. In July of 2004, the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine reported the results of a study of 1,000 HIV infected women in Tanzania. The seven year, double bind study placebo study, demonstrated that simple multi-vitamin supplementation delayed the progression of HIV/AIDS and was an effective and inexpensive means of delaying the initiation of antiretroviral therapy in HIV infected women. Currently, there seems to be even greater optimism in the treatment of HIV/AIDS because of a new complex of vital food supplements called glyconutrients. This newly discovered category of nutrients has significantly improved the quality of life for HIV/AIDS infected people, adults and children in field trials, and medical professionals are excited about their application and their impact. According to government leaders and health officials in East Africa, glyconutrients should play a crucial role in the effort to combat the scourge of HIV/AIDS that is killing off an entire generation, overwhelming health care systems and leaving millions of children without parents or care givers.\" Glyconutrients have proven to be effective in the fight against HIV/AIDS,\" said the Honourable Edith Grace Ssempala, the Ugandan ambassador to the United States. \"They are something that should definitely be used in the fight against the virus. It is my hope that some of the $15 billion allocated

is used to acquire glyconutrients to treat people who are suffering from AIDS. The future of an entire continent is at stake.\" Ambassador Ssempala said that she was excited about the experiences of patients in Kenya who had successfully treated with glyconutrients by a Kenyan physician and saids believed that patients infected with the virus in her country would have similar results as those in Kenya that borders Uganda. \"It has worked in Kenya and I believe that it will work here,\" she said. \"People are suffering and glyconutrients are among the weapons that we should use to combat this dreadful disease that is destroying a generation of people in Uganda, and in countries throughout the world. While Uganda is recognised as a global leader in the fight against AIDS, Ambassador Ssempala says that the infection rate of eight percent is still too high. \"We must do something and we must do something right now,\" she said. \"We can help people who are infected by giving them glyconutrients which protect and boost the immune system. We can give them a better quality of life. The results in Kenya are very promising,\" she added. Recently, a well-respected Kenyan surgeon, Dr. Ben Akenga visited Uganda and shared his experiences using glyconutrients to treat HIV/AIDS patients with Uganda President Yoweri Museveni, leaders in his administration, Ugandan doctors and other health professionals. Dr. Akenga, a graduate of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and former medical director of several hospitals in Southwestern Kenya told the Ugandan officials that glyconutrients were necessary to support the body's normal function of repair. \"The use of glyconutrients is one of the most critical strategies for supporting the body's normal healing functions,\" Dr. Akenga said. \"We have had tremendous success using glyconutrients while treating people infected with HIV/AIDS in Kenya. Dr. Akenga said that the patients that he treated with glyconutrients were in terminal stages with many clinical manifestation of HIV/AIDS along with many of its complications. They were bed-ridden and were brought to the hospital to die while their families made funeral arrangements, he said. \"To my amazement and to the amazement of my colleagues, all of the patients who were treated with glyconutrients were up and walking within two to three weeks,\" he said. \"In the fifteen years that I have been dealing with the virus, I had never seen anything like this. \"They were discharged from the hospital and prescribed anti-retroviral drugs which they had not been given earlier because of their weakened medical conditions.\" Akenga, who is also an expert in tropical diseases, described glyconutrients as eight specific sugars that are essential for proper cellular communication. \"They are so vital to the proper function of every human cell that an entire new science called Glycobiology evolved in the early 1990s to study their biological functions. \"We are just learning about this crucial science in Africa,\" he said. Nyine Bitahwa, a Ugandan economist and scientific researcher trained in Germany and Eastern Europe, said that traditional healers in Africa have long used plant extracts to treat life-challenging diseases such as HIV/AIDS. \"We in africa are excited that this new science of Glycobiology has been identified and that people in the medical community are taking a serious look at it and realising that it is effective,\" said Bitahwa, who directs a government backed herbal medical research institute located five hours by car from Kampala. Bitahwa said that herbal medicine in Africa was centuries old, but that it has been neglected because colonialists outlawed its practice, forcing a change to western, pharmaceutical based medicine. \"We are now seeing a rejuvenation of herbal medicines. We believe that many of the cures to the ailments that plague the human family are in the leaves of the plants that surround us, and in the barks of trees that sustains us,\" Bitahwa said.
