Rare copy of his most popular commentary of 5 pulbished volumes on books of the New Testament Acts II Hebrews 1 Corinthians Revelation Rev M. D. Treece Born: Jan. 1, 1935 Passed: Jan. 1, 2011 Inducted: 2017 In the small community church in Crawford, Texas, a record book holds a simple notation: “One small boy received the Holy Ghost.” This boy, Marvin Dale Treece, had lost his father, a Baptist minister, when he was at only eighteen months old. The youngest of five siblings, Marvin possessed musical abilities which prompted an invitation to furnish music at a Pentecostal church service. While attending those services, he experienced the saving power of the Holy Ghost. Soon after that initial experience, Marvin began to feel his calling to the ministry. His mother and step-father would not accept his call for the kingdom, expelling him from home at twelve years of age. The ensuing years were filled with lessons involving faith, love, and trust. His marriage to Betty Osborne founded a shared ministry of music, evangelism, and eventual pastorship. Early pastorates included Vivian and Monroe, Louisiana, but Marvin and Betty, along with their two young children, Paula and Ricky, found their permanent pastoral field in Lake Charles, Louisiana at the Apostolic Temple church. It was there that Marvin began a ministry marked by passion for God’s Word and compassionate dedication to his flock. Marvin served as the Louisiana District Youth President (1962–1968), founded the Louisiana Bible Quizzing program (1966), and served as an Executive Presbyter on the UPCI General Board (1979–1981). Additionally, Brother Treece was a founding member of the Conqueror’s Quartet, organized to support the Louisiana District’s Sheaves for Christ fundraising initiative. Marvin Treece’s ministry was characterized by an intense dedication to God’s Word. Early forays into the study and teaching of prophecy led to his realization of the benefits of reading Scripture in its original languages. In 1981 he began manuscript correspondence with the British Library. On June 30, 1983, Brother Treece earned his Doctorate of Theology and Divinity from the International Bible Institute and continued his studies at Cambridge, Oxford, and Trinity Universities in Europe. These studies resulted in the authorship of the “Literal Word” Bible commentaries, which include Acts 1, Acts 2, I Corinthians, Revelation, and Hebrews. The “Literal Word” is a testament to Brother Treece’s love of the Lord and His Word. From 1989 to 2002, Brother Treece preached meetings and conferences across the United States. He was honored to preach at General Conference in 1976, 1998, 1999 and 2000. Marvin also endured the pain of a degenerative back condition for nearly thirty years, yet he found solace in continued prayer and study. Perhaps his greatest source of peace was the knowledge that his son had taken the pastorate of Apostolic Temple and continued the legacy of devotion to God’s Word and Truth. At the end of his life shaped by prayer and the Word of God, it would only be fitting for his life’s last moments to be accentuated by both. Though pain and sickness had run its course, Brother Treece lifted his eyes to his Lord and Savior and uttered the eternal words, “Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come…” And so the man who had started his journey as “one small boy” receiving the Holy Ghost in Crawford, Texas, ended his journey as the preacher, pastor, scholar, loving father, and grandfather–walking into the Kingdom of God he had served for so long. He passed from this life on January 1, 2011.
