James P. Mellis Jr.

JP was just in not to long ago for some work on his car, it was always a pleasure to see him and speak with him, he always brightened my day. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family. He will be greatly missed.

J.P. and Cathy were on staff with First Alliance Church. I was a member of that church and cherished their friendship. I always felt they both had such a special gift for ministry. Miss them both. God give you precious memories of your Dad. You will see him soon. Pamela Griffin, Toccoa, Georgia

We pray for God's peace and comfort to family and friends in knowing that JP led a rich and memorable Christian life; and that he made a difference in the world. He will be sorely missed in Christian love as a member of the body of our Lord Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. We on earth mourn but Heaven is now rejoicing.

My last visit with JP was Christmastime in 2007...he was enjoying his family, laughing and dancing in his sock feet. This is the JP I will remember. I am praying for the entire family for peace. Love you all. --Kim C. Hurley, Greensboro, NC

I am sorry for your loss. The last time I saw JP was at the CMA Council in Nashville. He always had a smile and was ready to encourage! He was a big influence on me as I worked with him at Nyack. He will be missed. Darla Miller Nyack College '79-'83

Haven't seen JP in a long time, but what I remember about him was his joy. And what joy he is experiencing right now. What a reunion. What a joy to see his Savior face to face at last!
