To The McElveen Family, What a Blessing that you had the privilege of having a Husband and Father that was a great gospel preacher. A Man who lived "A Purpose Driven Life" taught us to be disciples of Christ and to save the lost. Not to gossip about one another or tear down each other, But to build up each other and be there in time of need, Put our arms around each other and give a big hug, show forgiveness and kindness, Thank's to Bro. Mack so many of us now live a Christian lifestyle, Because of his teaching our childrens and grandchildren have obeyed The Gospel Of Jesue Christ. He will be miss by so many, But we can Honor Him by following God's word, Matthew 22:37-40 says Love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and mind and your neighbor as yourself, We know Love is an action word so let us keep this Great man in our memory by showing Love for each other. Thank You Goldie and the rest of the McElveen Family for sharing this Man Of God with us.

Finding strenght in the time of loss is a true test of faith. Goldie and children please know that you have love ones that feel your pain and hurt. It seems like just a short while ago, that Bro. McElveen came to be our minister. First at Hugo Avenue, then Jacksonville Rd. and finally at Azalea Dr. Bro. McElveen was a spiritual gaint, a true Man of God, blameless, caring, giving, encouraging, and a visionary. He was a trailblazer and full of knowledge and wisdom. He lived what he preached. Our preacher, minister, mentor, and friend has gone on to get his reward. The work that he has done, speaks for him. May God continue to bless you all as a family. We love you all dearly.

The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. Isa.61:1-3

As a little girl I look forward to having Bro. McElveen come to Decatur,Ga for our Summer Gospel meetings in the 1970's. My guess is that Sis. Goldie was at home with the children. Our family at that time was 9 strong with parents and children. It was at this time that we learned what it mean't to be hospitable. Our mother would fix a meal for evening before the meeting. All of the sisters that were able would cook dinner and pull out the fine china. How excited we(maybe more me) would be to have a special dinner for our guest come. I really enjoyed when Bro. Mc would come to speak those summers not so long ago. To the McElveen family, thank you for sharing your husband, and your dad all of those years ago. Bro. Mc has molded many christian lives that started from childhood and I for one am truly honored and grateful to have known him. May the Lord wrap his loving arms around the family and give all of you peace. Michael and Norma(Manley)Baker.
