During the final moments of the 2018 state Evangelism Conference Jan. 23 at First Pineville, Louisiana College President Rick Brewer surprised Wayne Jenkins, who is retiring Jan 31 as evangelism director, with a humbling honor. The school has formed the “Dr. Wayne and Martha Jenkins Center for Evangelism and Missions.”
According to LC public relations director Norm Miller, the center will be a resource of information and inspiration for Louisiana College students and Louisiana Baptist churches interested in training and mobilizing people for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ at home and abroad. The center will sponsor events and activities directly related to evangelism and missions, including evangelism endeavors and mission trips undertaken by students and faculty, and will forge and enhance an ongoing partnership with the Louisiana Baptist Convention’s evangelism and missions initiatives.
