What wonderful, genuinely beautiful people!!  You were and are beautiful role models to me!!  I am SO blessed to have known you!!

So sorry for your loss.  I have many wonderful memories from my childhood in the Philippines at Clarkview A/G 1969-71.  He is now up in heaven with my daddy Eugene Chason enjoying the rewards that heaven can give.

Thank you Lord for letting us work with Uncle Jim and Aunt Velma in ministry in the Philippines.  Having some family there was so great for our sons.  We learned so much about the Long family in the early years of dad's life that we never knew.  They were both such a Godly example of hearts for ministry and love for the lost.  To Jim & Bonnie, Janet & Rich, and Gary & Kathryn and all the grandchildren, we pray God is with you during these days giving you peace and greatful hearts for the heritage God has given you.  Steve & Linda Long

We were saddened to hear of the loss of your dear father and grandfather - our deepest sympathies to Jim, Janet, Gary and families. It has been many years since I saw your father but I enjoyed a visit with him on the phone a few months ago. He was a special man and I know you will miss him! What a blessing to have such a godly father.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Long family.  Love to you all!

To the Family of Rev. James W. Long, Sr.,

We want you to know how much Pastor Long had been a blessing to us here in the Philippines.
He has lived a fulfilled life, serving the Lord all those long years of stay here with his wife, Velma,
and his children Jim, Janet, and Gary. Now he has received his reward and he is happily worshiping
Jesus, the Lover of his soul, in a place where there are no more tears, pain, and sorrow. Bless his heart.

One of these days we will join him around God's throne singing songs of praise and worship to the
Father and the Son, our Savior. Meanwhile, we will pray that the comfort of the Holy Spirit be your
portion as you grieve his loss. He is faithful that promised. We love you and we pray for you all.

Love from,

Pastor Eli, Sis. Esther, John Wesley, Malou, and Baby John Matthew Javier

Condolence to the family of Pastor James Long. We are blessed through your ministry. We will never forget Pastor Jim and Sister Velma.

Our sincerest and deepest condolences to the Longs family. Bro. and Sis. Long we loved dearly. Bro.Long officiated our wedding in APTS Baguio City in 1988. We were blessed by their lives and ministry. We will missed Bro. Long so much.

My husband, Harold Nickerson, owned a carpet cleaning company in Ft. Collins, and whenever we were scheduled to go to the Long's home, I allowed extra time because Bro. Jim and Harold loved to talk about the Lord all day!  We love the Longs very much. Luella Nickerson

Our sincerest and deep condolence to the Long clan. Ptr Jim Long taught my family the goodness of the Lord, and he used to carry in his arms my eldest son, Matthew, when he pastored International Charismatic Service, with beloved Sis Velma Long. My son is now 30 years old.
Noel, Josie, Matthew and Andrew Aleta (Philippines)

Our deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences to the family and loved ones of our spiritual father, Pastor James Long! Both he and Sis. Velma will forever be in our memories. They brought us to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; they nurtured us both in milk and solid food about the Word of God; and they patiently guided us toward the Godly path. Without them, we, the whole family, my wife Angie and 2 children Marianne and Jerichoe, could have been lost along the way. Thank you very much, Pastor Long and Sister Velma! Your faces have never faded in our minds! God bless your family and loved ones who are left behind! - Lt Gen AFP(Ret) Pedrito & Mrs Angeli Cadungog and children with our 5 grandchildren.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Ptr. Jim and Sis. Velma Long.  May the Lord's  unfailing love be your comfort in your time of grief.  Ptr. Long will surely be missed but he will always live in our memories.
Sincerely,
Efren and Gigi Gastrock-Aguilar

Pastor Jim,   What a wonderful privilege it was for our paths to cross!!  It was SO comfortable passing the mantle of ICS to you and Velma!  No one could have filled that position better than you two!!  I feel the loss of the family and the MANY friends!  You have left a LEGACY!!   I am proud to have known you!!

Many a childhood summer was spent in Mt. Morris, PA, and it was always a special treat when Uncle Jim and Aunt Velma would be in from the missions field. We would always get together to play music and Uncle Jim always found the greatest harmony part on his trumpet. The years we played at the Falling Waters Campground as well as the services we were blessed to be in when Uncle Jim would speak are very fond memories. He was truly a Soldier of the Cross and has finally attained his well deserved reward.
May God's peace and comfort be with the family during this time.

We are thankful for the life and ministry of Rev. James Long.  We will always remember him singing and leading songs in the Philippines.  The one that impacted us most was:  "Trust in the Lord and don't despair, He is a friend so true; No matter what your troubles are, Jesus will see you through.  Sing when the day is bright, sing in the darkness night - all the way, every day, I will sing, sing, sing."  Heaven will now resound with athems of praise from our Dear Brother Long.  With love and appreciation, Curtis and Ruth Butler, Retired A/G Missionaries.

We praise & thank God for the life & legacy of Pastor Long. My salute to a great soldier of God. Finally, you are home.  We love you. Elmer & Marah Fuentes

Our heartfelt condolence to the family.  Pastor Long, you will always be remembered.  My two kids grew up and were dedicated at ICS during Pastor Long's and his late wife's leadership.  Praying for comfort for his family as well.

Marie Bonifacio and kids Angelo and Faye Cusipag

Our deepest condolences to the family of our dearly beloved Ptr. Jim and Sis. Velma. They were our spiritual parents, ushering our family into God's kingdom in 1981 and teaching us everything we needed to know about this wonderful life in Christ. We shall never forget these 2 giants of faith and dedication, the greatest influence in our Christian life. : Chippy & Anne, Mia & Chuck Grey, ICS Manila

We will see you in your mansion someday our dear Pastor for you taught us that Earth is just our temporary abode. It is not goodbye but so long for now.
Love,
 Sandy and Tess Mombay

Pastor and Sister Long is very much loved by us....Rivera Tiu family.

Praying for God's comfort to the family of Pastor Long.  He and Sis. Long were loved by the people of ICS. I will always remember him.

Thank you for your love for God, your lifetime of service, and your effervescent smile.  You have touched more lives that you will ever know and you will be missed.

To the Long Family: Our most heartfelt condolences with the passing of Ptr. Long. I'll never forget, when as a young boy, gazing up into his warm, kind and smiling face and giving him a big hug at ICS Sunday services. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. From the Cordero family - Ptr. Tony, Dexter, Ivy and Archie

We love you Pastor Long. Thank you so much for your ministry at ICS.  We will never forget you.  From the Clavecillas family.

Our deepest condolences to Dr.Jim, Jr., Janet, and Dr. Gary at the demise of their dear father.  We are saddened by Pastor Jim's demise, but we are confident that he is now enjoying the presence of the Master he loved and served for so long, in fellowship with his beloved wife, Sis. Velma.  This wonderful couple pastored our church, ICS, for some 12 years, and they encouraged us to grow in the Lord and know His Word through their teaching, preaching and living.  We will never forget Pastor Jim's story of how he and Sis. Velma got together.  Pastor Jim asked Sis. Velma if she wanted to be along if he became a missionary to India, and if she wanted to be a Long, too.  We are fortunate to have been under the spiritual care of the Longs.  Surely, they will be able to offer to our beloved Master gifts of gold, silver and precious stones for all the good they did on earth and the great harvest of souls they brought into the Kingdom.  May the Holy Spirit comfort us all as we mourn the loss of our dear Pastor Long.

Our family is so blessed having been ministered by Ptrs. James and Velma Long in the Philippines thru the ICS Ministry.  To all the bereaved family of Ptr. Long, we are so sorry for your loss.  But indeed, it was a life well served for the glory of God!

Grandpa Long...how you see me grew up. I was 4 yrs old then. How you and grandma Velma molded me in the image of God. Will surely miss you. Praying for those you left behind. From Ken Rodriguez (ICS- Phils)

To the Long's Family, our heartfelt condolence. We love and surely miss Ptr. Long. Praying for you all. From the Rodriguezes Family-Ariel, Noi, Ken and claudine (Phils)

We will surely miss our beloved Pastor James W. Long. He and Sis. Long have been an inspiration to us. We are who we are today because of their untiring dedication to mentor us with the Word of God. The lives they lived greatly spoke of what they preached. They have blessed us in many ways. 
We will never forget them. They are so precious to us. No enough words to fully express our love to both of them. 

To Jim, Bonnie, Janet, Gary & Kathryn and to all the grandchildren, thank you for giving them to us. We love them so dearly!. We are praying for you all that the comfort of the Holy Spirit will embrace you and surround you in this most difficult time. 

WE LOVE YOU ALL !

From the Balista's: Gunder, Merci, Jiru & Jannie

Dearest Long Clan,  Oh, how we would love to be with you at this time.  To share in your grief at the graveside service.  Our love and prayers are with you and all the family who will gather together.  How thankful we are that Jim has won the race and is with the Lord and a host of family and friends.  He was indeed loved by so many and was such a blessing to all those who had the opportunity to know him.  He blessed us all with the pure way he ministered in love.  Praying and loving you all.
