North Portland Bible College has invited Dr. LeRoy Haynes, Jr. Senior
Pastor o f Allen Temple CME Church to be our keynote speaker at our
Annual Banquet on Saturday, November 6. This year s theme is The Power
ofG od.”
Dr. Haynes is a dynamic orator and I am sure you will be blessed by hearing
him. The Reverend Dr. Haynes holds a Doctor o f Ministry from Brite
Theological Seminary, Texas Christian University, and was professor ot
Philosophy and Religion at Southern University in New Orleans, Louisiana,
among many other credits to his scholarship. He was appointed to Allen
Temple at Winter Convocation in November o f 1997.
This banquet marks a significant milestone in NPBC’s history. It celebrates
17 years o f providing affordable college-level Bible training for adults who
previously have had to by-pass expensive formal education. It celebrates
students who have taken the evening classes in addition to family, and
employment and church responsibilities; and instructors who taught with
only nominal remuneration. And it celebrates the partnership o f churches
and contributors and volunteers in many capacities, who made it all
possible.
We invite you to join us as a corporate sponsor. We are asking each o f our
sponsors for $ 150. This would be a great help in reaching our financial goal.
As the Chairman o f the Board o f Directors, I have accepted the challenge
along with others. Can we count on you to be a part of this effort?
The Mighty Coulds of Joy prove their prowess in gospel for the last thirty years with a new release
