Rev J. E. Yonts Passed Away

On December 26, 2014, Jack Edward Yonts went Home to meet his Savior and receive his reward. A Christian above all else, this man's journey spanned..from a humble house in Glendale, Illinois to the headquarters of the United Pentecostal Church International to his final mission in the Chicagoland mission field.

Rev. J.E. Yonts goes on to be reunited with the love of his life Jo Ann Yonts. He made her promise to keep "the mansion next door open for me."

The influence..of this "boy from Glendale"..reaches across the globe. His contributions to the Kingdom of God through North American Missions and the training of young ministers are incalculable.

The Homegoing Celebration for Rev. J.E. Yonts will be held on January 2, 2014 at 7:00 PM. A wake will be held on the same day beginning at 2:00 PM. Both the wake and the Homegoing Celebration will be held at..Bartlett United Pentecostal Church.

The Homegoing Celebration will be streamed live through this website. A link for the stream will be placed on this page when it is available.

The family of Rev. Yonts thanks you for your prayers and kind words.

Re: Rev J. E. Yonts Passed Away

While I did not know Reverend Yonts his name is one that I have heard all of my life and I always heard good things about him. I am at that age where so many of the recognizable ministerial names from my youth in the UPC are heading home to their heavenly rewards.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

Perhaps instead of rewards they might be going to their heavenly reprimands.
