🛡️ Warrior of Prayer on the Wall 🛡️
“I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night…” — Isaiah 62:6
Yesterday, True Holiness Church had the honor of celebrating our beloved Associate Pastor, Elder Bernice Andrews—a woman whose life has become a living testimony of unwavering faith, sacrificial love, and steadfast prayer.
Elder Bernice is more than an intercessor. She is a watchman on the wall, faithfully standing in the gap for families, the church, our community, and generations yet to come. She embodies what it means to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18), not because circumstances are easy, but because obedience is her lifestyle.
She has taught us that prayer isn’t based on emotion—it’s based on faith. Whether in joy or in hardship, she continues to seek God’s face, trusting that He hears every prayer.
Her life reflects service in every season:
🌿 Caring for her late parents, Bishop John Andrews and Mother Katherine Andrews, with honor and love.
❤️ Faithfully caring for her late sister, Lynn.
📖 Teaching and living God’s Word with sincerity and humility.
🙌 Leading God’s people in praise and worship.
🌸 Using her gifts in sewing, gardening, and floral arranging to bless others.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Planting seeds of faith into the lives of her nieces, nephews, and everyone God places in her path.
🏛️ Serving as a pillar in both the church and the community.
Elder Bernice reminds us that intercession is one of the highest expressions of love. Prayer warriors understand that the battle isn’t over until God says it’s over. Like the watchman described in Ezekiel 22:30, she has faithfully stood in the gap for countless people, often carrying burdens that others never see.
Yesterday was also a reminder that while she faithfully prays for others, the church must pray for the intercessor.
Our prayer for you, Elder Bernice, is this:
“Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee…” — Isaiah 43:1-3
May the Lord continue to strengthen you, refresh your spirit, and reward your faithfulness. May He keep your heart encouraged, your hands strengthened, and your voice lifted in prayer. God hears you. Heaven knows your name.
Thank you for standing on the wall. Thank you for fighting the good fight of faith. Thank you for loving God’s people so well.
We love you Associate Pastor, Elder Bernice Andrews! ❤️
