From Labor, To Reward … Celebrating The Life Of Dr. Edna Travis

Celebrating The Life Of Dr. Edna Travis

Dr. Travis co-founded New Covenant Pentecostal Tabernacle in Tacoma, Washington, more than 40 years ago, and she has also initiated numerous outreach ministries. New Covenant’s “Feeding Program” has been serving a hot evening meal every day since March 1985. In addition, Dr. Travis maintains monthly ministries at McNeil Island Correction Center, Orchard Park Health Care Center, and Tacoma Rescue Mission. Her radio ministry, “The Midnight Cry Messenger,” was heard for three years on KBLE and then for two years on KLAY. She was Vice President of the Full Gospel Pentecostal Association, headquartered in Portland, Oregon, for 17 years.

Dr. Travis has also trained many men and women of God in ministry. Although passed at 91 years of age, she remains active visiting people who are sick or shut-in, as well as holding prayer meetings and Bible study sessions until the Lord called her home. Her faith, perseverance, and love of the gospel of Jesus Christ was served as an example to others. Her ultimate objective was to make known to this generation the power of God.

My Heart is hurt but My soul rejoiced to know that a Queen is seating in her throne next to our King, our Lord, and our Savior. Doctor Edna Travis was so much to so many people. She will be more than missed. My heartfelt condolences and praises go out to all of the family, friends, and followers of Pastor Edna Travis.
