In Memory of Bro. Charles L. Manders
May 15, 1928 – March 12, 2005.
Bro. Charles Manders was a long time member of the Georgia District Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ. Bro. Manders was baptized by Bishop G. H. Hammond in February of 1969 and received the Holy Ghost in May of that year.
He was very generous with his time and resources. Bro. Manders was a great help in church building. He was very instrumental in the building of the churches in Winder and Monroe and also helped with the Watkinsville church.
For approximately 10 years Bro. Manders had a tire business at his home. However, he couldn’t seem to charge ministers for tires. He gave countless sets of tires to evangelists and pastors at no charge. He was widely known for his generosity and many ministers came from far and near to get tires.
Bro. Manders was a blessing to many.
