Pam Jaymes

Church: Howell Church of the Nazarene

Nominated by Rhonda of Pinckney
In December of 2008 Pam Jaymes, wife of Pastor Jon Jaymes at Howell Church of the Nazarene, donned her basketball jersey, shades and bling and performed a Rap music special in our church’s annual Dinner Theater. Two weeks ago, when Pam was out of town and unbeknownst to her, a picture of her face was taped to a cardboard cutout of Elvis’ body and she was placed on the stage to “accompany” the youth director as she delivered the church announcements. Pam perpetuated the joke the following week by giving the announcements with a picture of Elvis’ face held firmly in front of her own. While her humor and good-natured attitude abounds, Pam’s compassion for the lost and the women of the church shines through just as strongly. The women of HNC attended the Free to Be Real Women’s Conference this past fall and I realized what an appropriate conference that is for our ladies, because every week Pam shows us what it means to be a Christian woman who is free to be real. Under Pam’s leadership, the women at Howell Nazarene are confident to step out and be ourselves, fully embracing the women God has created us to be. We love you Pam, our Rapper, our Elvis (nicknamed Pamvis), our champion of the family, our beloved pastor’s wife.
