IN MEMORY OF PASTOR STEPHNIE HESTER LANE

Two of our leaders, Pastor Magda Grobbelaar-Sampson and Pastor Mike Sampson, lost a very close friend and pastor, Stephnie Hester Lane. Stephnie would have been part of this ministry, but she passed away on March 9, 2020 from pneumonia...

Stephnie Hester Lane as we would like to remember her

They met in 1994 while she was running a care center for destitute people and Pastor Magda and Pastor Mike were destitute at that stage. Shortly after joining the care center all three of them enrolled for the Diploma in Theology offered by Elim Theological College that closed down about a year after they graduated.
