Joseph Abraham Blevins,
died while preaching a three-part evangelistic series for the Methodist Church in
Jamestown Tuesday evening, October 9, 2007. As a young man he moved to New York City and was invited to join a youth group of Seventh-day Adventists. Because of this friendship, Blevins decided to become an Adventist and was baptized. His parents disowned him and he lived with the local Adventist pastor until enrolling in college. He earned an associate’s degree (Bible Worker) from Newbold College in 1967 and went on to complete a bachelor’s degree from the London School of Economics in 1969. |
| He served the Seventh-day Adventist Church
for over 28 years working as a Literature Evangelist for the Kentucky-Tennessee
Conference, District Publishing Director for the Southern Union, and Publishing Director
for the Gulf States Conference. A pastor in the Georgia-Cumberland Conference of
Seventh-day Adventists for 22 years, Blevins worked in the Summerville/Center Grove (Rock
Spring), Ga., Churches, the Lakeland, Ga., Church, the Andrews/Murphy, N.C., Churches, the
McMinnville/Spencer/Sparta, Tenn., Churches, and the Deer Lodge/Jamestown, Tenn.,
Churches. He was ordained to gospel ministry in 1987. “Joe loved the Lord more than anyone I know,” says Tim
Leffew, Publishing Director for the Georgia-Cumberland Conference. “I don’t know
if I would be in the ministry without him.” by Tamara Fisher (Borrowed from the Seventh-Day Adventist Church Website) |
| Joe Blevins was my friend. When Joe walked
into a room I wanted to stand... simply out of respect. He was a man of prayer and a Kingdom Builder. I liked that about him! He loved the Word and was always looking for an opportunity to share it with |
someone. Joe wanted to be
a blessing everywhere he went. I am certain he has not changed his behavior but
simply changed locations. The Sojourner
