Alvin Bergante is Grande

This is a picture of Laurie and I presenting Dr. Alvin Bergante a bible and bible software I brought to him from the US. He is the president of Southern Baptist College. He was a gracious host during a very difficult political time in that area. A bombing happened just 5 km from here about two hours after this picture was taken. They closed school.

His school has Oklahoma ties. The Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma manages a trust that benefits this school. It is an endowment established by former southern baptist missionaries and former president of the school. It is the kind of thing that more schools need to establish. It is like our Legacy fund at South Lindsay. I was able to encourage the president to seek other donors for the trust to insure future income to the school. It was a good meeting. He was grande.
