Our founder, Bishop W.E. Fuller, Jr., deliberated for years about this addition to
our church, and finally, it became a reality. The Jr. Missionary Department was organized on June 8, 1974, during the 21st Quadrennial General Council. They helped build the Headquarters in Jamaica West Indies, and continue to support and take care of the building there. Two National Directresses were
appointed, Sis. Pelma Elliott was assigned to the Northern Diocese and Sis. Cleve Mack was assigned to the Southern Diocese.

The Jr. Missionary Department is to the Fire Baptized Holiness Church what basic training is to the armed forces. We prepare young people for the battlefield of life. Our only weapon is our sword, the Word of God.

In 1978 three National Directresses were appointed. Sis. Cleve Mack, Chairlady, assigned to the First Episcopal Diocese, Sis. Pelma Elliott was assigned to the Second Episcopal Diocese, and Sis. Demetri Braxton was assigned to the Third Episcopal Diocese. During the annual convention of
1979, District Directresses of the Jr. Missionary Department were appointed to each District and this has really been a blessing to our church. During the interim of the General Council, in 1983, Sis. Brenda O. Conley was assigned National Directress of the Second Episcopal Diocese.
 

We are the only organization in our church not required to report to conventions or District officers, except for special projects. Our first project was to build a headquarters in Jamaica West Indies. In 1976 we carried $500.00 to Jamaica to start a Building Fund. In 1977, we had $1,100.00 which we used to erect a small building for worship since the church had been destroyed. In January 1988, we dedicated the W.E. Fuller, Jr. Headquarters and Mission Home in Jamaica, West Indies.
 

Our Senior Bishop permitted us to hold our first Jr. Missionary Day service at
the Sisters of Charity Convention in 1976.
 

The second Saturday in February has been instituted as our National Prayer Day since 1981 by our Senior Bishop and has been observed each year since that time.
