''This is my stovy, this is my song pvaising my Sa<iov oil the day long.r — Fanny Cvosby

<

■« ■■

Day after day, we come face to face with unbelievers, whether we are aj^ork, at school, or even at church. So many times we walk around with our Christian mask on, but how many times do we take off the mask and truly walk with God? Being a school of Christian ideals and morals, we hold our standards high.

We are taught daily to strengthen our personal relationship with Christ and to share with others how God has blessed our lives. As each

class is opened in prayer, we are given the

opportunity to share requests and praises with our fellow classmates. However, how many of us

can say that on a daily basis we go out and share those same requests and praises with our friends

"So do not be ashamed to

testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his pris oner".

2 Timothy 1:8

who are unbelievers? God challenges us to not

be ashamed to testify about our Lord, but to join Him in suffering for the gospel, 2 Timothy 1:8. So many times we get scared or think we don't have the right words to say or that our own lives are not good examples. But God calls us to be fishers of men, knowing that He will provide the words and the wisdom we need. This book, as well as this year, is presented to each and every one of you as a challenge; a challenge to stand up for what you believe and to share that with unbelievers. So, what's it going to be...What's Your Story?

10 3avad by Gvace On June the 6th in 1981, I was born In Enterprise, Alabama, and entered the world to a wonderful mother,

I

father and brother. In a year's time or so my family moved to the beautiful state of Washington to a town called Tacoma. It Is here that I called home and where my story kicks off.I lived with a mom and dad that loved my brother

and I In ways Indescribable. They provided for our every need except one, spiritual guidance. My parents were not Christians and did not direct me to the lovely Light of Christ Jesus as I was growing up. They did their best to raise us up morally and ethically but could only do so much with out the Illumination of the Holy Spirit.

When I was about seven years old, my "rose col ored glasses" of Innocence that I wore shattered, and I realized the dysfunction that had always existed In my family. The reality of these things was very disturbing as I witnessed and experienced these problems first hand.

These dysfunctional Issues reached Its climax In August of 1997, as my father and mother went through a horrible

f

IF

...

divorce that left Irremovable scars upon the sinews of my life.

r

As time passed by, emptiness followed me every step [ took as I tried to saturate my parched heart with the evaporating waters that the world had to offer. The pleasure of vain pursuits, materialism, relationships, al cohol, marijuana, and everything else I sought to satisfy me always left me more dehydrated than I was before I had drunk from the wells of sin. On July 28, 1999, the

ÂŤ

summer after I graduated from high school, my life of drought had come to an end In a place called Grace Mis sionary Baptist Church. It was here that I drank of the Liv ing Water and thirsted no more.

That evening as the revival preacher spoke of the

tenth plague of Egypt and the Passover, I realized that s"=i4

the "door post and lintel" of my heart were unmarked by the blood of the Lamb. It was here and then that I surren

dered my life to Chlrst Jesus. It was less than a week later during my first church camp that the Lord Inspired me and filled my being with an overwhelming desire to preach the "gospel of peace." I accepted his call and preached my first message there. On August 8, 1999, I made public my acceptance to bring "glad tidings of good things" to the world, and by God's grace, I have been privileged through Christ Jesus for over three years to do just that...deliver His message to many people! by: WIN Frazler

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it Is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes...."

As someonewho grew up in a Christian home, 1 don't remember a time that I wasn't exposed

to the Gospel and the story of Jesus. Some of my earliest memories are of my father reading to me out of my Picture Bible and showing me the pictures. He made the stories come alive

3how

like no one else could.

At the age fo five, i decided that I wanted to be saved, and my mother showed me the way as we sat on the side of our bathtub. I think

that I loved Jesus more than any other child did, but somewhere over the next few years I lost some of that love. The loss of that relationship

with Christ grieves me immeasurably.

I had a turbulent spring this year that truly chal lenged my beliefs. But as summer began, I made friends who fulfilled Proverbs 27:17, "As iron

sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

By example, they are helping me rekindle my relationship with Christ with a new understand ing of His love, mercy, and grace.

As I have started the school year here at CBC, i have been thrilled to find myself surrounded

by many who will help me strengthen my walk with God. This truly has to be one of the great

est things about the "CBC experience," and i look forward to what God Is going to do in each of our lives throughout this school year.

When I was seven years old, I accepted Christ as my savior. Even at such a young age, I knew with out Jesus Christ, my iife would never be complete.

Growing up in a strong Christian home and being very active in church has provided me with a strong foundation, but that doesn't mean my life has been perfect. There have been many times that I have come to God broken and hurt with tears streaming down my face. Yet, every time I go to Him, He is always loving me just as much as He did before I left Him. I know that many other things will come and cause me to stumble or be hurt, but the one

thing I am aiways abie to stand on is that no matter what.

My God loves me.

dorms of Central Baptist College to get what we call the "home away from home" experience. "You

can't break anything and fire alarms are useless because cinderblocks don't burn, but on the positive side. It's a cozy hide away worth giving thanks to God for," commented Will Frazler.

Living In Bruce and Williams Hall provided students with valuable time to meet new and soon to

V

be lifetime friends. The dorms provided a safe environment, a place to study, a comfortable bed,

laundry facilities and so much more. "It would be a lot better If the dryer wasn't so loud," said Steven Bean.

By being a part of the dorm life experience students gained the basic survival tips for being on their own. From washing their own laundry to sometimes cooking for themselves the men and women of Bruce and Williams Hall learned to be true college students. While some might prefer their moms to wash their clothes or cook their food they soon realized what they had taken for granted while living at home. "As a resident's advisor, dorm life Is great because I get to deal with a lot of guys from differ ent cultures," commented Nicholas Parish.

Being a part of the dorm life experience just adds to the whole CBC experience. The dorm gets

students Involved and allows them to experience life on their own. Welcome to the real world.

to do these things was up to the stu dents, but nobody who participated would disagree that It was a blast and they would do It again If the could.

TWIRP week wasn't just for dressing up, girls were to take on the reverse roles of their dates. Many girls took their dates out to dinner and even to a movie.

Over all TWIRP week was a great way to lead up to harvest party.

I wasn't born into a church like most people are; my parents were not raised in church either, so until I was five we never

went to church. I started going to New Salem Baptist Church with my neighbors who were members there. Soon after, my mother was asked to come on friend day at our church which was a way to bring new people in by everyone bring

and

ing a friend to church. That day she asked the Lord into her heart and was changed enormously. Soon after, my father started coming to church there, and later he was saved too.

When I was about six years old, we had a tent revival at our church, and on the invitation I went forward. Michael Collier, our neighbor, went through the plan of salvation with me, and i prayed the prayer but really didn't understand it. Not until I was about thirteen did I think i think about that and i

started to doubt my salvation and if i had really accepted Christ as my savior. I struggled with that thought for a re

ally long time. I would pray to God and ask him to save me if i wasn't, it tore my heart to pieces not knowing if i was really saved. Not until the summer of 1998 at a church camp in Lynchburg, Virginia, I was talking with my friends one

night after a service and we all agreed that we doubted our salvation and that it was time to make it sure. We went to

my youth pastor's room and told him, and we ail got down on our faces and prayed to God to make our salvation sure.

I knew then that it was real because I felt a peace that I had never felt before. The Bible talks about the peace that passes

You Will Find

all understanding; that time i put my faith in Christ. Since then God has really blessed me, and i have had the chance to

go on many missiion trips, i went to Guadalajara, Mexico, in the summer of 2001 to do sports evangelism, by playing basketball games and teaching kids how to play. You don't realize how a round bail that bounces and you shoot into a hoop through Christ's power can open up doors that would never open otherwise, it's so awesome how God can use everything only if you give him the chance too. Lastly, I urge everyone to become one of Christ children; you won't

ever regret it. Use ail your talents he has given you for His glory. Phiiipians 4:13 says"I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." I encourage you to give all up to God and you can do ail things, when you seek him first.

I was saved at the age of eleven and surrendered to the ininistry during my junior year in college. God has allowed me to pastor four churches, serve in the Ministers' Resource Services Department of the BMA of America, and serve a to tal of twenty-five years in Christian higher education.

I count among my greatest blessings, a wonderful wife of thirty-two years and a great son and daughter-in-law. God has blessed me beyond my wildest expectations, and I praise Him for ail He has done.

Anapsucho is a service organization that is fairly new to CBC. it started in the Spring of 2001 and was designed to provide and encourage practical experience for counseling majors or those who are going into helping services. The word "Anapsucho" comes from the Greeks, it means to cool off, to

revitalize the soul, to refresh the soul again. Anapsucho tried to refresh our community by making a commitment to a certain organization to work in depth with it for a year. This year's organizton was CAPCA. CAPCA has many smaller organizations under it such as Head Start, Family Services, and the Central Arkansas Food Bank. Throughout this year, Anapsucho has worked with this organization to provide all the service that they can in order to learn and make a difference in others lives. Amanda

Meyers states, "i feel like Anapsucho really reaches out to the students and the community off campus.

We try to help where we are needed." Throughout this year, Anapsucho has strived to do their best as they tried to serve God through learning while helping those in need.

T When I w saved th

year old Sunday a thought,

Hello, my name Is April Smither. I am 18 years old and a fresh man here at CBC. Central Baptist Collese has helped me get closer to God

a bunch c m

more than I have ever have been before. The students, the staff, and

everything else about this place has Impacted me In a special, life-chang ing way. Now I want to share with you the story of my life.

When I was 7 years old I was saved at Garrett Memorial Baptist Church In Hope Arkansas, where I was born. I had been raised by a loving Christian family. My parents provided great things for me and loved me.

But the biggest Influence on me was my grandparents, Grover B. Smither

« -

, it jM

many ne>

gift of a!

As[got(

and Myrtle Smither.

Every day when my mom would go to work, she would drop me

from Got

off at my "Memaw" and "Pawpaw's. My pawpaw would set me on his lap and teach about the love of Jesus and my Memaw would add as she was In the kitchen making me treats. I remember them them taking me to church on Sundays when my parents could not. They taught me how to act In "Big Church" at a very early age. We all sat In the same spot as a family. When I was 7 years old, I felt something missing In my life. I wanted to person ally know this Jesus everyone was talking about.

I soon started feeling this nudging In my heart. I knew It was Jesus right away. I felt Him say "Please let me In." So I told my mom and that very next Sunday I was saved. I felt so Joyful.

My "Paw Paw" died soon after that. It hurt me badly but God got me through. All through school, I didn't have many friends. The other kids knew I was different and would pick at me. Through middle school It got worse and my self esteem went downhill. I had no friends at school and nobody seemed to care. But each day It was worth the

I did not

sacrifice. I knew who was with me.

The summer before my 9th grade year I went to a camp called Brookhlll Ranch which taught me alot. The staff taught me that I was wonderful Just the way I was and I even made friends. My self esteem grew year after year after that. I made more friends. God was blessing.

Things were great.

My 11th and 12th grade years I strayed away from God. I put things before him that I should not have. I drew away from everyone that

cared for me. I was so alone and afraid. I got engaged to be married my senior year. Things got hard. I thought this guy was the one and I had It all together. But one day me and my mom went shopping. She talked to me about CBC and we went to see the school. Everyone was so warm and welcoming and I felt drawn right In. I wanted to go. So I decided to. I broke up with my fiance at the time and started to school.

I know I made the right decision because God has been teaching me and Is still teaching me things I've never discovered before. I'm so blessed to have all I have and I'm so thankful. I thank God every day for he Is good. So remember to lean on God no matter where you are at and He will always be there for you.

Th^ GvesiVeeX'Gift When I was eight years old my parents told me when I got saved they would buy me a bunch of new toys. To an eight year old that sounded pretty wonderful. So when the next Sunday arrived I went to the alter and got "saved", or so I thought, and just like my mom and dad promised I received a bunch of brand new shiny toys! They told me that it was my new birthday. In reality, I did It for the toys and not

c?f All

because I understood the reason behind it. Yes, I received

many new gifts that day, but I did not receive the greatest gift of all. I was still lost at the time and I did not realize it.

As I got older I realized what I had done, but I kept running from God. The thought of someone eise taking over my life frightened me. For a long time I felt this tugging on my heart.

I did not know that I was being convicted. It was not until I was 16 years old that I finally surrendered to God and gave my life completely over to him. Finaliy, I could not stand It any more. One afternoon I went down stairs to talk to my mom about what I had been feeling. My mom's eyes filled with tears and her heart filled with joy. That afternoon she ied me to the Lord and right then and there I received the eternal gift of life. The greatest gift of all!

God's Grace I was saved February, 1995, at the age of ten.

My pastor, Bro. Horace Gray, led me to the Lord and I

was baptized the next Sunday becoming a member of Perryville First Baptist Church. One of the main rea

sons for me getting saved was fear of hell, and I knew that Jesus was the only way to go. Life went on, and I began to grow closer to God. I had a great youth minis

.yw ■

ter named Cody Calhoun, who taught me many great things. He moved on, and a new youth minister, Clif Johnson, came. Those two guys piayed an enormous part in my life and my spiritual growth. They taught me through everything they did. I love them both dearly.

I began to realize that God was calling me to do some thing more with my life. I feit a cailing for almost two years before I accepted it in July of 2000. Cody and Clif did their best to talk to me out of it, but it just couldn't be done. I dedicated my life to the ministry when I was 16 and iife was good. Then out of the blue, my parents divorced. My mom and I moved out, and my dad's girlfriend moved in. My mom and I lived in town

iP ■■■III sILt •

for about two months before she found her true love

and moved to Florida with him, straight out of a soap opera. She left right before Christmas, but luckily a friend of mine invited me to stay with him and his folks.

I love those people, the Davis family, Sharon, Oren, Keith and Mandy, so much. They accepted me from the get go, even when I did not accept them. They love me and I them. My dad and his new wife had a baby about two years ago. She is my little sister and I love her. So many things have happened to me,good things and bad things. I have made so many mistakes, but God blesses me so much. I am very thankful and in awe of God's grace on my life. God had everything worked out perfect.

He really did.

"From Parties to Prayers

Growing up I had anything but the perfect family. A relationship with my mother was almost non existent due to a lack of communication and a relationship with my father was never given the opportunity to develop bacause I have never seen or heard from him. However, my two older brothers did an excellent job of stepping in and filling that empty spot in my life. At the age of eleven, my mother married my stepfather. Although he was not my birth father, I felt like I had won a million dollars because I now had a dad just like everyone else.

Entering into my seventh grade year, I had never attended a church service. That was until a friend invited me to go to church with her on a Wednesday night. Service after service, I made sure I was at church because that was where all my friends were. Church camp rolled around and I was assured that this would be an event that I did not want to miss. The last night of camp we watched a video about several teenagers being involved in a car wreck, dying, and going to Hell. This video really scared me. Later that night I went to my youth pastor, repeated a prayer of salvation, and went on about my business. After returning from church camp, things at home began to get real rough. Just like every teenager, I thought I knew everything there was to know, as a result, I began to argue constantly with my parents. Little did I know, but this arguing was causing strain in their marriage.

A few weeks into my sophomore year of high school, my parents got a divorce. I began to fill the absence of a father figure with marijuana, alcohol, and parties.

It was the summer before my junior year of high school and church camp had rolled around again.

The only reason I was interested in going this year was because of all the different athletic competi tions being offered. Throughout the week of camp, the only thing I could think of was how big the championship trophy for basketball and softball would be and how great it would look in my hand.

During the last service of the week, my thoughts shifted from winning a trophy to giving my heart to Christ. God began knocking on the door of my heart, and I wanted nothing more than to let Him in. On a Thursday night, at the age of 16,1 accepted Christ as my Savior. He reached out his hand and picked me up out of the hole that I had been trapped in for so long.

As I was entering into my senior year, my mother decided it ws time to move. Instead of selling the house, my youngest brother agreed to move in and take over all the payments. Not long after my brother moved in, the atmosphere changed from prayer and praise to never-ending parties. Without noticing what was happening, I began to let my guard down and slowly drifted back into a lifestyle of marijuana, alcohol, and parties. Although I was sinning and participating in worldly things,I contin ued to faithfully attend church so that no one would begin to ask questions or get suspicious. I had put God in a box, placed him on the shelf, and told Him that I would bring him back out when I got ready.

College application deadlines were approaching fast, and I had no clue where I wanted to go to school.

Out of the blue, a coach from Central Baptist College called and told me that he had a scholarship waiting for me if I was interested in playing basketball for him. Without hesitation, I accepted the offer.

After the first campus visit, I began to question why I would be coming to a school like this. It was not until after my first semester that I realized why I was here.

The lifestyle of drugs, alcohol, and parties continued into my freshman year of college. Very few people knew about the things I chose to do because I was considered to be the quiet and shy one on the basketball team and around campus. During basketball season, I began to watch some of my teammates and how they acted. I noticed that a few of them were different. This difference came from the fact that they had Christ in their heart. Although I was wrapped up in the things of this world,I would catch myself watching and admiring their Christian characteristics. I was longing for the spiritual relationship that I once had, but at the same time I was not ready to give up the things of this world. After a few months of watching and admiring, God began to break me. He was calling me back home,and I wanted nothing else but to be back in his arms where I would be safe and free from the desires of this world. I rededicated my life to Christ.

A few weeks before my junior year of college, God called me into the ministry. I began praying daily about where He might use me. Within two weeks the doors of opportunity began opening. The children's pastor asked me to help with the children's program. I was also given the privilege of becoming a youth sponsor and working with some terrific kids. These kids mean the world to me and I would do anything for them. This has just been the beginning of God's calling on my life, and

^ V...

'StJ-.: flPi'-l 'dsiiKi-i!.!!' a-iiti

I know that He has much more in store for me.

To me the word "Christian" means someone who portrays the characteristics of Christ. Many of you know that I have not always been that person. For those of you who have witnessed the mistakes I have made, I owe you a sincere apology, and I pray that you would forgive me just as Jesus has forgiven me. Please do notjudge other Christians by the mistakes that I have made. I may not have been blessed with the perfect family life here on earth, but after accepting Christ into my heart, I became apart of the perfect, eternal family of God.

TViink on TViaea Thm0e haV'e l ived for 6 1 years the best life, having been raised by Christian parents

and for fnost of my life working in the greatest of Christian environments.

i|

'was saved when I was 15 at Bethany Baptist Church in St. Louis. Snere was never a time in my l ife when I can remember not going to church. I thank my parents for that.

After my salvation I remained active in church and at about age 251 spoke to

my pastor about feeling the need to work with young people never knowing where that would lead.

Shortly after that I affirmed God's cal l on my life as a preacher and immedi ately decided to leave myjob and enroll In Central Baptist College. So at 26.

I began my college experience. Soon after graduation. Dr. Vvassel Burgess asked me if I would teach part-time at the college.

To do so was l ike a dream come true, 'fork

ing at CBC was something I had always dreamed of doing, even before I had de cided to go to college.

I also worked as the first full time direc

tor of the Association of Baptist Stu dents at both UCA and CBC. So the im

pression I felt to work with young people was coming true not as 1 had planned work ing with them in a church, but working with them on the college level.

I am completing my year at CBC this

year, and while I do think of retiring quite often I would not change a thing as far as my l ife has been l ived. God has been very

good to me allowing me to do the thing I most love to do: teach, guide, and be around young people.

IViy prayer is that in the 30 years I have been a part of CBC I may have In some small â&#x20AC;˘

way helped shape some young lives for His

t

service.

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things, whatever you have learned or received or heard for me, or seen in me-put it into practice. Andthe God of peace will be with you."

A Faithful Servant I enjoy working here at CBC because the people are Christian and friendly. I love the Lord. I feel like this Is the will the Lord

wants for me at CBC. I just want to serve the Lord through CBC and be a blessing to the students who come to CBC. My theme scrip ture Is Psalm 23.

God's Amazing Work .-.I. ...1 S

■lijist-;

When we put our lives in the hands of Jesus, and we let

go of all the things that keep us from being what God wants us to be, we become good clay. For me, coming from an other place and experiencing many different things has been hard for me to be what I know I need to be: good clay. Despite all the mess I have been through, Jesus has

% <

%

still molded me.

The Bible says In Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." This verse has given so much mean ing to my life, because of the power that is exposed. God's promises are not just promises, they are facts. It is up to you to believe, as I would say, that faith is not knowing that God is going to do something in your life, but beiieveing that He will. I just encourage every believer to hang on tight to the word; hang on to Jesus. That is the best thing that can happen to a human being. RememberGod's amazing work will be present in your life only if you let Him mold you.

If God is for us, then who can be against us? Fight a good fight and don't give up the faith.

JV^e'art I hate closings. Should I write something lame, like "It's been a really exciting year"? I can say that yearbook has been great fun this year. The staff has worked extremely hard, and the fruit of their work is in your hands.

I hate closings-we've established that. I especially hate that this particular yearbook staff will never be together again. Terrance, Erin, Jason, Elissa, Leslie, Brittany, Courtney, Matt, Amanda, Cody, Kristen, Mel, Marie, April, Sarah, Kelly-you've made me laugh, you've inspired me, and best of all, you've made me useless as an adviser because of your dedication and good humor.

I hate closings, so ignore this page and enjoy the rest of the book.

Good night and God bless.
