Spiritual Emphasis Days
2019-09-05 10:00 (America/Chicago) | Roland Fine Arts Center, 2800 Palmyra Road, Hannibal, 63401, United States
Hannibal-LaGrange University’s annual campus renewal, Spiritual Emphasis Days, will be held September 4-5, in the Parker Theatre of the Roland Fine Arts Center at 10 am each day. Captain Jose Rondon, chaplain at Fort Leonard Wood, will be the featured speaker. These events are free and open to the public.
“We are thrilled to have Captain Rondon come to campus for our Spiritual Emphasis Days,” says HLGU President Dr. Anthony Allen. “I have known Jose for almost 30 years and am proud of the way God is using him to reach many young men and women for Christ. He also brings an international perspective and he’ll relate well with our students, faculty, and staff.”
Capt. Rondon has served at Fort Leonard Wood since early 2018. Originally from Venezuela, he came to faith in Christ in the 1990s through the witness of an International Mission Board missionary. Later, he immigrated to South Carolina, where he attended North Greenville University and then worked on master’s and doctoral degrees at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He became a United States Citizen in 2010 and later joined the military as a U.S. Army Chaplain.
Beginning March 11, 2018, Rondon and his fellow chaplains witnessed what some have called a “spiritual awakening” among soldiers and trainees on the base. Last March, Rondon reported more than 200 professions of faith. That number rose to 4,750 professions by December 2018 – according to the last report received by The Pathway.
Rondon called Southern Baptists to pray for this movement of God to continue on the Army base. “God’s wonders,” he said in a Facebook post, “will continue to be seen through the prayers of His people.”

As part of our initiatives, we are excited to have Greg Baylor with us to speak on the importance of our constitution and its role in promoting and protecting those principles.”
Gregory S. Baylor serves as senior counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, where he is the director of the Center for Religious Schools and Senior Counsel for Government Affairs.
Since joining ADF in 2009, Baylor has focused on defending and advancing the religious freedom of faith-based educational institutions through advice, education, legislative and public advocacy, and representation in disputes. He has testified about religious liberty issues three times before congressional committees.
Greg regularly comments on religious liberty and higher education issues in television, radio, and print media, including The New York Times, Christianity Today, National Public Radio, and network and cable news programs. Additionally, he serves on the board of directors for the Museum of the Bible.
Greg earned his Juris Doctor in 1990 from Duke University School of Law, where he graduated Order of the Coif, with high honors, and served on the editorial board of the Duke Law Journal. He received his bachelor’s degree in Honors English in 1987 from Dartmouth College. Following graduation from law school, he served as law clerk to the Hon. Jerry E. Smith on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He practiced labor and employment law at two large international law firms for three years before joining the staff of Christian Legal Society’s Center for Law and Religious Freedom, where he served for 15 years prior to joining ADF. He lives in Northern Virginia with his wife (a medical doctor) and two daughters.

Suicide Awareness & Prevention Sessions with Kevin Hines
2019-10-28 | Roland Fine Arts Center, 2800 Palmyra Road, Hannibal, 63401, United States
Kevin Hines is a mental health advocate, global speaker, best-selling author, documentary filmmaker and entrepreneur who reaches audiences around the world with his story of an unlikely survival and his strong will to live.
Two years after Hines was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 19, he attempted to take his own life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. Hines is one of only 34 — less than one percent — to survive the fall, and he is the only Golden Gate Bridge jump survivor who is actively spreading his message around the globe about living mentally healthy.
Event coordinators are tri-state residents, Amanda Hays and Jessica Baker, who are committed to providing insight and assistance about suicide awareness and prevention. Hays was diagnosed with severe postpartum depression which led her to plan her own suicide. She went through treatment and therapy to overcome those struggles.
Hays’ goal is to use her story to help others in the area with similar suicide tendencies. “I don’t think there’s any person anywhere that isn’t somehow effected by mental health or suicide. We have to realize these are life and death situations,” Hays said. Jessica Baker with Preferred Family Healthcare said she hopes this event helps people in the community ask for help when they need it.
Kevin Hines shares his story of hope and celebration of life Monday, October 28, in the Roland Fine Arts Center on the campus of Hannibal-LaGrange University, 2800 Palmyra Road, Hannibal.
There are three free sessions:

9am – Noon
1:30pm – 4:30pm (this session is full/registration is closed)
6 – 9pm

Seating is limited. Register at https://jbaker2019.wufoo.com/forms/z1y7h8ky1s2rvmg/
