A Great Turnout for NOBTS Alumni and Friends Luncheon

Over 300 Alumni and Friends gathered in Indianapolis for our National Luncheon. In addition to Dr. Kelley's message, participants were blessed with instrumental music from Dr. Mike Wetzel (alum, pastor from Florida) and Dr. Becky Lombard, Associate Professor of Music Theory and Organ, and exciting information on MissionLab, Mission Quest, and future conferences.  Dr. Charles Harvey, Vice President for Development, shared a great report on the end of New Horizons Campaign, phase one.

Dr. John Marshall and Rev. Bill Ichter Honored as Distinguished Alums 

Dr. John Marshall (M.Div. '74, D.Min. '75) is pastor of Second Baptist Church of Springfield, Missouri, and Rev. Bill Ichter (MSM '55) is a retired IMB Missionary who served in several capacities in Brazil using his gifts and training in the field of music. 

Thank You to our National Alumni Officers and others who helped put the meeting together. And Thank You to all our alums who attended!
