Dr. Frederick K.C. Price Founder VISION FOR THE SCHOOL The Crenshaw Christian Center School of Min- istry- is the result of my desire to see minorities take advantage of the covenant benefits of Christ ' s redemptive work. When I heard Kenneth Hagin speak in 1975 about starting a Bible Training School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I en%-isioned a similar facility in Lc» Angeles. We opened o ' jt doors Vj the first group of stu- dents in September, 1985. Chir Student Body con- siste of thoBe men and women who genuinely are called hv God to minister the Gospel. The cTjrriculom is deigned to ftilly train and eqtdp these ministers to go forth with power and authority. While the School accepts students of all colors, races and nationalities, there is a thrust to attract minorities, particularly Blacks. As a Black man with firsthand knowledge of the Black experience in America, I feel I can relate to them on a more personal level. Mv desire for all people, but especially minor- ities ' and Blacks, is the same as that of the Apc le Paul as recorded in Romans 10:1-2: Brethren, my heart ' s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. -, , u Paul was the Apostle to the Gentiles, but he never lost sight of the needs of the Jewish people. Neither have I lost sight of the needs of my Black brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.
