Houses Remodeled for North Portland Bible College
Pounding Of Hammers, Saws To
Make Way For Spiritual Center
The pounding of hammers and
high scream of an electric saw may
have been noisy to other people but it
was music in the ears of staff and
friends of North Portland Bible Col­
lege. It meant that the long-delayed
remodeling of two old houses to make
facilities for the college had begun at
last. Thanks to the generous dona­
tions of local businesses and the work
and sacrifice of many friends the
dream was becoming a reality. Two
decrepit houses which had been eye­
sores for a long time, the dumping
ground for trash and the hiding place
of drug deals, were about to be con­
verted into a training center for spiri­
tual leadership for the community.
New signs went upon Saturday,
November 6th, listing several of the
companies that were making the
transformation possible: W.G. Moe
and Sons, Western Partitions, Friburg
Electric,Total Mechanical, Kingsley
Lum ber, M arkman M echanical,
Northwest Natural Gas, Mercer In­
dustries.. Dan QuatierofBaughCon-
struction and Bill Moe of W.G. Moe
had coordinated the recruitment.
There was a basic consensus that the
remodeled buildings would not only
look better, but they would house
programs that would make the last­
ing changes in people’s lives “from
the inside out.”
North Portland Bible College is
a unique institution in that it is an
interchurch, NE community-based
center for Biblical studies, devel­
oped with the needs of N/NE Port­
land particularly in mind. It has
been housed in borrow ed facili­
ties, first at M aranatha C hurch,
now at Berean B aptist Church,
but possibly this spring will be in
a hom e of its own. Its goal is to
help train leadership for the kind
of com m unity renew al that will
really last. Its students can be
found in many different churches.
Ken Ruble of “Hard Hats for
Christ” has been working for several
weeks as Building Superintendent.
Looking like a Santa in work clothes,
Ken has quietly and efficiently
worked to prepare the structures for
the various skilled crews that are
coming. Sometimes he has had some
volunteers to help; more often he has
worked by himself. Volunteers have
included NPBC Board members, stu­
dents, faculty, friends. Ken has had
wide experience putting volunteer
crews to work, and would like to do
it again.
There will be much to celebrate
when the college and friends gather
at O ’Callahan’s on Friday, Novem­
ber 1 1th for the A nnual B anquet.
Board C hair, Rev. Fred W ilson,
will introduce some o f the key
persons on the construction team,
and funds will be raise for the
ex p e n se o f m a te ria ls .
D ean
M ichael Lindsey is scheduled to
address the gathering on the sig­
nificant subject, "Welcome to the
Next Level”. Rev. James Coleman
will present the annual “Student of
the Year” and Christian Leadership
awards.
