KCM Partners continue to enrich the lives of freshmen at Wiley College in Marshall, Texas. For the third year we have donated 450 Bibles to these students who are just beginning their college careers. Wiley College, founded in 1873, is a historically black, baccalaureate degree-granting institution affiliated with the United Methodist Church.
Founded by Bishop Isaac T. Wiley, a well-known minister, missionary and educator, Wiley College is distinguished as one of the oldest black colleges west of the Mississippi. The college is noted for its high academic standards and its historic debate team, portrayed in the highly acclaimed 2008 film “The Great Debaters.”
Karen L. Bright, Director of Church Relations, says,
“Thank you for assisting Wiley College in fulfilling its mission as an institution of the United Methodist Church. It is with great respect and admiration that the Wiley College Family sends our warmest appreciation to the Kenneth Copeland Ministries for the Bibles that were delivered for the Julius S. Scott, Sr. Chapel [service] on Tuesday, September 13, 2011.”
With this year’s contribution, KCM has now blessed more than 1400 students of Wiley College. The tradition goes on at the college that “the first book that freshmen receive at Wiley will be the Bible.” Thank you, Partners and Friends…you have helped these young leaders take an important step in their path to their bright future!
