Louisiana College names evangelism center after Wayne Jenkins

January 25, 2018

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.”
