Mollie Lee

As well as being a beneficiary of sister Mollie's direct contact and care, I feel compelled to share that there were so many more she prayed for and cared for, even if she wasn't led by the Lord to directly contact them.

One specific example I have is the trainees who entered into the FTTL every term. Sister Mollie knew I took notes of the testimonies and on the occasions she was not able to be there on testimony evening, she would ask me if I had notes I could share with her, because she was always so encouraged by what the Lord had done in each one to bring them to the training. I believe she prayed for each one also. This is just one example of sister Mollie's interest in people and in their going on in the Lord.

I joined FTTL between 2014–2016 and moved to the locality where Sister Mollie was. Many may remember her for her love and labour in raising up the next generation in the church life. Yet she never gave me the impression that her focus was on any particular work. Rather, she had a deep and sweet relationship with the Lord Himself.

Here are some small but meaningful moments I’m grateful to have shared with her:

• Once, she walked beside me during a short walk and gently said, “Let’s not walk on the grass.” Her tone was soft and gentle—it reflected her sensitivity and character.

• During a conference lunch, she noticed some speaking brothers were still in fellowship and might miss out on food. She gently asked me to set some aside and bring it to them. In this, she quietly trained me—I saw how she made others useful.

• During a term break, she shared how the Lord had touched her about visiting the saints. Though she felt she had been “lazy,” she asked if I could go with her to visit a sister who lived over an hour away and had just given birth. Her humility and obedience deeply impressed me.

• At my graduation, I received a handwritten card from her. I believe she did this for many. The words were simple, yet weighty, carrying the fragrance of her prayers.

In a world focused on outward matters—even good ones like Christian work in children, campus, and community—through Sister Mollie, I was not drawn to the outward works, but to know the wonderful Lord Himself, the worthy One. In this way, I was brought into something that bears fruit.

"Remember the ones leading you, who have spoken to you the word of God; and considering the issue of their manner of life, imitate their faith." (Hebrews 13:7)

Sister Mollie was a sister in resurrection and ascension, full of the maturity of the divine life. Her presence uplifted any meeting she was in. She was a beamer!

Here is one of many memories I have of sister Mollie. During one conference she came out of the meeting and said, "I could sit in a meeting and hear about shepherding or I could shepherd these children!"

Thank You Lord we could remember sister Mollie today. May we imitate her faith, pressing on with You and in the Body until the end! We love You.

ML - I clearly recall being the beneficiary of sister Mollie's shepherding recently. I was hospitalized for surgery, and had given out all the Bibles I had. She visited me in the hospital and brought me more Bibles to distribute. A nurse from another ward came to ask for a Bible but I had none left. Thanks to sister Mollie I was able to send her the link to receive a free Bible and to this day I am still in contact with her. Shortly after being discharged from hospital sister Mollie heard I was still in excruciating pain, she prayed with me and was so concerned that she approached a brother doctor who then called me and put me on the right track to get the proper, effective treatment. It was such a great relief. What fine care our sister had!

WL - sister Mollie had a heart for the saints and the new ones. She would not give up on anyone.

I miss our dear sister Mollie, and I still can’t quite believe she is no longer with us..

From the very beginning, when I came into the church life, she was always there—faithfully serving and shepherding. I remember how much I enjoyed her singing of the Bible verses. I would often follow her singing to help me remember the Word. Even in such a simple way, she was ministering Christ to me.

During the full-time training, she shepherded us with such care. After I graduated, she gave me a small card saying that “the gold has increased” in me—reminding me that as the divine life grows within us, the law of life shapes us into the image of Christ. That word has stayed with me and continues to strengthen me.

Even in later years, when I was not attending meetings regularly, she did not forget me. From time to time she would visit me, and we would have sweet times together reading the Bible and ministry books in cafés. She always carried gospel brochures with her, ready to give to people wherever she went. She truly had a heart for others to know the Lord.

She also cared for my family. Even when my husband was not open, she still came to visit our home and even left him a note. Her shepherding was quiet, persistent, and full of love and faith.

What I especially treasure are the personal fellowship times I had with her. She listened to me with such care. When something was troubling me, I could open to her, and she would shepherd me with wisdom and tenderness. She helped me to see that the Christian life has its ups and downs—that going “down” is not a failure, but often the Lord’s way to bring us higher. This word has remained with me.

She also encouraged me in very practical ways: to stay connected with the saints when they come to my heart, to turn to the Lord when I am hurt, and to let my experiences with Him become something real that can one day help others. Through her, I saw what it means to live in fellowship with the Lord and with the saints.

Even in her later days in the care home, she continued to minister life. There was a sweetness and a peace about her. Simply being with her was a supply—she seemed so much at rest in the Lord’s presence.

Sister Mollie was truly a shepherd to me. She cared, she listened, she prayed, and again and again she pointed me back to the Lord. Her living has left a deep impression on me, and I am so thankful for her portion in my life.

She is deeply missed, but I treasure these memories and the life she imparted to me. May her pattern continue to live on in us.

It was 1998. I had started to study theology on Surrey university Roehampton site. In a class studying hebrew language I was introduced to the first batch of FTTL trainees. They in turn took me to Cortis Rd training centre where I met Sis Mollie. A few weeks later, I saw her on campus working as a librarian. In September 1998 when I started theology, over 50 of graduates were Christians. By the end of May 99 there were less than 6-7. I got to understand studying Systematic theology, church history, and all the philosophical modules had wiped out their faith. I was preserved. I put that down to the truth/inoculation from the trainees ( even though I didn’t get it but I did enjoy it ), and sis mollie. In my time in that 1st term she was 1 John 5:16. She once told me that as long as I have a seeking heart, Jesus would keep present Himself. After graduation during my time in FTTL in Cortis rd she would often tell me turn to my spirit. She made me realise that there’s more to God than just theology and that “turning” cause me to love and appreciate Christ and the bros more. The last time we saw one another was Euston seminar/ Lord’s table. The last thing she said as she hugged, was that I reminded her of a seal who disappeared taking deep dives but that I should come for air in the church life. We both laughed.

In my experience, my observation she was someone to shepherd the young ones, the weak ones, and the backsliding ones according to God’s nature, His way, His preference, and His feeling.

Sister Mollie's shepherding has been a blessing to every member of our family. The first time Phoebe heard of sister Mollie was before she moved to England. Her sister was on the FTTA gospel trip and when she got ill, Mollie gave her medication and took care of her practically. When Phoebe moved and got to know Mollie, she was impressed by her pattern of steadfastness and absoluteness. Mollie lived for the Lord and His purpose. It was a privilege of a lifetime to coordinate with Mollie and Brenda for Family Zoom Time (and much more related to the children's service) during and after Covid and to sense the depth and breadth of their burden for the next generation. May her heart be reproduced in us. We're also so grateful that Mollie was a spiritual grandma to our children, Sammy and Bethany. Sammy can be quite shy with adults, but at the first London international conference after Covid, he specifically wanted to greet Mollie. And at every conference after that, he always wanted to talk to Mollie. She had a special way to speak to children. She could always engage their interest and speak of the Lord at their level. Jason noticed that during the LIBC, Mollie was very focused in shepherding children one by one. She carried all the children on her heart. Sammy remembers the FZT stories -- FZT was an integral part of his and Bethany's early years -- and we're deeply grateful for Mollie and Brenda's diligent labour in compiling and developing children's materials. Mollie was a visionary and, like Noah, she laboured to carry out the vision, that the next generation could enter into Christ as their salvation, and turn the age.

We are both very grateful for the time we spent working with sister Molly on the children’s meetings. Molly was always full of grace and welcomed us and encouraged us to share stories from different adventures in the Lord, which was a great privilege. We’re so glad that she was part of our life and journey– Sister Moly impacted so many lives with her grace filled, gentle way. Our prayers are with the family in this time of loss. Surely she is resting in the peace of our dear Lord. Until we meet again in glory….

Life study 40 of Philippians, page 353:

“Colossians 3:16 says, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God."
Here Paul says that the word of Christ should dwell in us, inhabit us.”

Mollie and the sisters in Ipswich responded to Paul’s charge and Brother Lee’s burden for the saints to sing the Word with much exercise of their spirit and really ran with that burden from the Lord.They did not cease until they put to music and sang whole books of the Bible and recorded them for the saints.This was a tremendous shepherding to me and many others and a true ministry of the Spirit.
We sang the heart of the Bible spontaneously in the meetings ,at the dinner table,while we drove and waited at the traffic lights,changing nappies…..everywhere and wore out the tapes.
Jenny Higgins testifes she danced round the ironing table while singing to the recording of the dance of two armies in Song of Songs.Often we were brought into victorious joy (exultation) in the Lord and wonderfully the black and white letters of the Bible became intrinsically part of us.Small,sung phrases would come to us in many situations in our daily life and the Lord would save and supply us with Himself richly in all wisdom.

Thank you Father for our dear sister Mollie Lee.
I will sing with her in the New Jerusalem.

Sister Mollie was a wonderful pattern to me in many ways. I would like to share in particular about two framed quotes of hers that impressed me very much and that show us something about what kind of spirit she had.
The first quote hung on the wall in front of the room where she worked at Cortis Road. It was taken from Psalm 68 and read something like this:
„Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; And let those who hate Him flee before Him, As smoke is driven away, As wax melts before fire”.
The second quote stood on a small shelf in front of the door to her flat, where I stood many times. It read:
„In the New Jerusalem there will be no dust of the old humanity.“
I read those quotes over twenty years ago, but they continue to be a living and strengthening supply today. How wonderful these two statements are! Arise, O God and let Your enemies be scattered! Let those who hate Him flee before Him! In the New Jerusalem there will be no dust of the old humanity! Hallelujah!
Thank you, Lord, for our sister's pattern.

Mollie was a real gift to the Body. She was a talented Artist, Singer, Musician Storyteller and Teacher, yet she chose to deny herself and invest all that she had in the church for the fulfillment of her precious Lord's heart's desire. She had a clear vision and became a faithful steward of the Lord's riches. Especially faithful firstly in prayer. A true shepherd caring for all of her fellow members in the Body. She loved to chat to people about the Lord and knew how to cherish and nourish those whom she met.
In all her service she was matched...never serving independently .
I am so grateful that through Mollie (and Heather)so much of God's Word and the precious footnotes have now been put to music and for many of us, have , over the years been indelibly forever etched into our hearts and memories. What a treasure this is.
Mollie was a precious, faithful sister and true companion who is and will be forever missed. I thank the Lord for such a pattern and such a co- runner!

Mollie was a very dear sister to all of us here in London from the very beginning of the Church in London, and it was always a pleasure to listen to her speak in every meeting. It was so full of light love and encouragement. Mollie was so dedicated to the Ministry and also for the children and all the saints. She was a great encouragement to all of us here in London . Dear Timothy and family, Be strong and stand firm in The Lord as your mother. The Lord Jesus Christ be with your family and your spirit Amen

Thank you for the means to share some memories of dear sister-aunty Mollie. She is very much missed by me. This is a list of some of my favourite memories, in no particular order.
- I was blessed to be on aunty Mollie’s radar, her genuine care was a factor to keep me in the church life
- “Never give up on anyone”
- BB’s cafe Monday morning sisters time
- her pattern of a prophesying life and also helping others to prophesy in the meetings
- Her numerous personal letters, cards and texts - they remind me of the verses deep calls unto deep, and that I should know how to sustain the weary with a word
- a Shepherd according to God - a sense that the Lord was adjusting her, her constant fellowship with Him, her ability to stick like glue to all kinds of us to shepherd us, her broad heart
- Her simple life, few worldly possessions, she gave me a gift to prepare for my wedding
- Her heart for all the children and her service in coordination
- I often wanted to confide in aunty Mollie when I was going through a hard time or struggling, in my heart I was longing to tell her because I knew she cared and would pray for me. Not that I always did, but she was a person that loved me.
- Her enthusiasm and excitement for the things of the Lord and His move
- Singing with aunty Mollie, her singing & guitar playing
- Her rare rebuking - she told me to never do that again, when I missed a video training, not because she would put a law on me but because she so valued the present speaking and ministry of the word that she hated for me to miss it.
- She also had needs, sufferings, struggles and was under the Lord’s dealings
- Her fellowship with the Lord and being on the line of life
- Auntie Mollie tucked away in the recesses of Bower House in the church office

Dear saints,

We are very grateful for the opportunities the Lord gave us, as a couple and as a family to coordinate and be with sister Mollie. We feel we got to know her even more after we got married and moved to Chelmsford. She spent quite sometime shepherding and visiting the new ones with us. Especially because of her burden for the families there, she made herself available to pray and contact them with us. At bower house, we sometimes went out together to distribute the recovery version bibles. She had such a burden for the Lord to gain the families. Her burden for the children was to the extent that she not only shepherded the parents but perfected us in the care for the children. It has been a joy to coordinate with her and be perfected by her in the service for the Children's zoom time. It was not apparent that she was perfecting us then. She always prayed and was concerned for the family situations. She followed up and was always good at clearing up any misunderstandings. One of our favourite children's songs she recorded was (A Cat has silky fur'), and indeed whenever she felt she stepped on your toe, she would say sorry.

We really miss her function, not only on the zoom time but as a mom who calls to check on us to see how we are doing. We are short of words but we can testify that she was a spiritual mother, a shepherd and a teacher. She really poured out on the Body of Christ. May the Lord be her reward for all her labour on the children and on His Body.

We Love you sister Mollie!

I came to know sister Mollie around the time leading up to my wedding in 2016. What stood out to me from the beginning was her godly expression.

It didn't take many words - just a quick hug, a card with a short sharing, or a simple text message - yet her gesture carried so much care and shepherding. Especially during the first year of my marriage, though we didn’t meet often and she may not have known me well, she still took the time to reach out. That meant a lot and truly encouraged me. Her sharing had stirred up my desire to know and experience Christ even more.

I am touched by her love for the children. I really appreciate the children's resources she provided: her drawings, song recordings, and the family Zoom time stories, which have been so useful as we prepare materials for children's meetings and conference workbooks. There was once we ran out of craft ideas for a particular children's meeting, she responded with a simple suggestion that became so helpful, and the children enjoyed it very much.

Her expression of Christ was so attractive. Thank the Lord for her pattern of shepherding with love and caring for the children with such a genuine heart. We thank the Lord for her portion in the Body to perfect us, and her impact will remain with us.

I am truly grateful to have known Mollie, and it deeply saddens me that she has left us so soon. The memories we created together will remain in my heart for a long time. I find myself bringing her up in conversations with the saints, as she taught me so much during our time together. Mollie was a vibrant spirit, and her presence was a joy to be around.

One of the most impactful moments I'll cherish is how the Lord used her to help me get baptized. I had been longing to take that step for quite a while but never seemed to find the opportunity. I praise the Lord for the way Mollie made it happen so swiftly; her commitment to the saints was truly inspiring.

As I write this, I feel the tears welling up, but I take comfort in knowing that she is now at peace with the Lord. We will all miss her dearly, but her spirit will live on in the lives she touched.

I have so many sweet little notes and cards of encouragement from her. She was the one who arranged for me to be baptised in the garden at FTTL Putney! Oh what a joy, oh what a peace. So we press on to run the race that is set before us until we reach the goal.

I visited Sisters Molly and Brenda with the Ofsthun family in February 2024. It was a very sweet tea time.

Sister Mollie was truly like a mother and grandmother to so many in the body. During the pandemic, we joined family Zoom gatherings and showed such genuine care for all the children and families. She always encouraged us with letters and stickers.
To our family—especially to Caleb—she was a loving companion. When Caleb returned to school after being homeschooled and felt sad and lonely without friends, she would check in on him over call or zoom. She talked with him about the animals he loves, and because he enjoyed her stories so much, she would make time just to tell him stories.
Up until before her heart attack, she kept in close touch, and Caleb looked forward each week with great joy to his story time with her. During our last visit when she was in the care home, she spoke with Caleb about birds and flowers and gave him a calendar with pictures of birds as a gift. Caleb treasures that calendar and says he wants to keep it on his desk even after the year ends, as a reminder of her. He misses her dearly.
We will never forget her love, her prayers, and her encouragement.
We really love you sister Mollie.

Sister Mollie was one of the saints who warmly welcomed me into her home and shared meals with me when I first came to the life.
She played a special role in bringing my late husband into church life, and the support she gave us was truly incredible. In his final moments, she was there with me at the hospital, offering comfort and strength when it was needed most.
I am deeply grateful for her love, kindness, and unwavering care.
May she rest peacefully in the bosom of our dear Father

I’ll always remember Mollie’s absolute consecration and commitment to the Lord’s interest. She was filled with His life and was a straight shooter when it came to the truth, yet she was so Jesusly human. I particularly enjoyed hearing her strong released spirit during the coordination meetings and the prayer meetings.

Dear Sister Mollie,

You are so deeply missed by our family. You have been like a dear grandmother to our children, especially through your faithful labor of love during the family Zoom times over these past five years since Pandemic time started. Through you and other serving sisters, our children have been blessed to listen to stories, enjoy crafts from your thoughtful challenges, and sing songs with actions together. Each moment has been so precious to us and surely a sweet savor in God’s eyes.

Your care and prayers for us have been immeasurable—far beyond what we can fully express—yet so tender and touching. Thank you for so many personal cards you sent from your home to ours. Every handmade card, with your own handwriting and carefully chosen stickers for the children, has meant so much to us, bringing warmth and joy to our hearts.

We feel sorrowful in missing you so dearly. At the same time, we are so thankful to have had you in our lives. We are grateful that we can continue to enjoy so many wonderful children’s resources you and other faithful ones labored on through the website, and to be encouraged by your portion in the Lord through all these years.

Thank you for being such a loving and caring pattern to us, a shepherding sister and a spiritual mother who cares for the children, the one who truly loves and enjoys the Lord in His Word. We believe that we will see you again with big smiles in the New Jerusalem, where we will sing new songs together.
Glory to God. Hallelujah!

I love Mollie. I was in their home for home meetings for 3 terms during the training in London 2024-2025. Mollie was always very joyful and encouraging. I really appreciated how she loved the Lord and her heart for people, especially the new ones and children. She always asked me “how was gospel? Who did you speak to today?” and she would just carefully listen and glow up as I would share how people were saved and open to our dear Lord. Many times she would share things in our home meeting and inwardly I knew “she knows what she’s talking about, it’s real to her”. One of the many I still remember is that she was sharing about healing of the blind man in Luke chapter 18. She said, that we just need to tell the Lord directly what we need, be very specific. This touched me so much. I also loved when she made us to “write” a song, well, it was more trying on our end, but she knew what she was doing. We ended up adding melody to one of the footnotes, and it was so refreshing and supplying for me. I loved it.
Her presence always added joy and and riches to the environment. I loved singing and praying with her in our home meeting. I enjoyed when she prophesied at church and appreciated how she always looked out for people. I think she was praying a lot behind the scenes.
She taught me how to make proper English tea (especially for Brenda) and allowed me to feel at home in their house. She also allowed me to hug her every time I saw her, she knew I love hugs - it made me so happy.

I was very grateful I could visit her at the care home, right before I left in December and see her. Even then she still expressed Christ to me. I’m so so grateful I could meet Mollie and share life with her for little while. What a pattern and gift from our dear Lord she was. Thank you Lord Jesus, love youuuu Mollie.

Growing up in the church life as a child in the early 90’s meant that you went to the Ipswich children’s time and you were in the children’s meetings for conferences at Putney - Auntie Mollie was always there.

In Ipswich, Auntie Mollie and the other sisters would teach us how to bake bread and in Putney we marched the streets of the local neighbourhood with our flags, singing “Marching on, marching on, we’re the young ones marching on, we were chosen by God in His plan, in us you’ll see we’ll have the victory and we will give our lives to Him. We’ll learn the word, we’ll pray and prophesy”. It wasn’t until recently (30 years later) that I reflected on the words of this song, I was amazed at how from a young age we were singing these precious words.

And, let’s not forget Auntie Mollie’s drawings too! We never had any fancy materials, all we needed was to colour in some sketches of Noah’s ark!

All the activities and teaching was to sow the seed, which only as I have progressed in life have I released was a deposit of the kingdom. Even when I went to the training, Auntie Mollie was still around from time to time serving, she was consistent.

I am thankful to the Lord that we had such faithful and consistent ‘Aunties’ in the church, who not only cared for us like mothers but who have became pattern’s in life.

These are stories I have told my wife and will tell my children, so that it too would be a pattern to them. Her pattern has not only perfected us but will continue to do so every time I reflect on her life.

Thank you, Lord and thank you, Tim and Lizzy, and to all the Lee family

With love,

Elliot and Ivet Ewing

Sister Molly shepherded me before I joined the church life. She visited me at my home with different sisters for a year and half. She taught the simple enjoyment of reading and praying. I remember the Thursday meetings at her home and also the many 1-on-1 times had with her. We also bumped into each other at Hilldene Shopping Centre and had lovely spontaneous fellowship. I was very shepherded by the Monday morning calls with all the sisters. She would scan through the morning revival and glean some nuggets that would keep me for the whole week.

We really loved our sister Molly , who was always practical and real .
Remembering our sister with love ❤️.
Always in our hearts .
It’s really difficult to write this message but I can say that our sister demonstrated a love for the little lambs , in phone calls and text messages , in calling on The Lord even for a couple of minutes on the phone . May we all remember to feed the little lambs following this example, not forgetting the quiet ones , the invisible ones , the ones that we think are strong .
May The Lord cause this to work out to salvation for many
Amen 🙏
We love and miss our sister .
May The Lord’s name be glorified for her life and service , indeed a service of giving up many things for the comfort of others .
Amen
🙏 thank you Lord for our sister .
May grace abound

I have never forgotten when Molly came to see me when I lived in Croydon. She knew I was alone with 2 young children. I was also attempting to homeschool Nelson and care for baby Ruth. She encouraged me so much by coming to visit me and by letting me know that spending just 2 hours a day learning time with him would far surpass the learning time he would experience in school so “take it easy” (he was just 4.5 years at that time). She came only that 1 time and I never forgot it.
I didn’t see her often in the last 20 years, only at conferences. The last time I saw her was in hall 6 in September last year, we didn’t speak but she reached out her hand and touched mine. Oh what a pattern she was to us! What a shepherd! Until we meet again dear sister…

Even when She was in distress, Sister Mollie never stopped praying for us and our new baby as we spent some time in the neonatal intensive care unit. She did not look at her situation but continued to intercede for us even in her pain. She would encourage the Saints to pray and visit us. In such trying moment, we knew that the prayers of the Saints and Sister Mollie's prayers to God on our behalf, were our source of comfort and strength.

She is such an encouragement to us and now we know that she has joined the cloud of witnesses, cheering us on to keep running the race before us.

Our consolation is in our faith of receiving the out-resurrection. Sister Mollie, we miss you already. Rest in the bosom of our Father until we meet again in the New Jerusalem.

Antipas, Deborah & Eliana-Bethel.
