You may be interested in knowing that although I was raised Methodist, I came to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ at Southeastern Bible College.
You see, just after high school in June of 1967, a fellow high school graduate invited me to accompany him to a revival being held on the campus of SEBC.
At the conclusion of the service, the speaker, the National Sunday
School Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, William Kirske, invited
anyone who would to respond to the message of the Gospel. As I kneeled
at the altar, and bowed my head there, an old Dutch immigrant named,
Jerry Treimstra, kneeled down beside me, and led me in the “sinner’s
prayer.”
It so happens that a year later I transferred from a local community college, and enrolled at SEBC. During my first year on campus I worked as a part-time janitor there; in order to pay a portion of my tuition.
A full 40 years passed by, and I found myself on the same campus; once again employed at the same school, bearing the new moniker Southeastern University.
I have often smiled, and quipped,
“The Little Janitor Got Promoted.”
For you see, early in the new millennium I was given the opportunity to assume the role of adjunct professor.
During one semester there I actually taught in a portable classroom which was set immediately next to an old gymnasium that had previously served as the school chapel; that same chapel in which I initially met Jesus Christ as Savior so many years before.
