LIBERTY UNIVERSITY REACHING OUT TO DISPLACED STUDENTS

Liberty University announced last week that it is offering free tuition for the fall 2005 semester to students displaced by Hurricane Katrina who are interested in a distinctively Christian education.

Founded in 1971, Liberty is the home of 8,717 resident students this fall. The university has experienced a 35-year series of miracles that has culminated in it becoming a greatly respected institution, with more than 100,000 alumni now impacting their communities.

Part of the foundation of Liberty has been the call to reach out to our fellow man, especially in times of trouble.

This foundational groundwork of Liberty was very evident over the course of the last several days as students, faculty and staff have donated tens of thousands of dollars to relief efforts in the Gulf. In one recent convocation service, students filled buckets with $17,000. This truly touched my heart.

We have targeted the funds to assist two key efforts: (1) Operation Blue Ridge Thunder — under the auspices of Bedford (Va.) Sheriff Mike Brown — and their rescue efforts in the region and (2) the North American Mission Board, which has sent relief workers throughout the Gulf Coast.

The devastating impact of Katrina continues to dominate the headlines and we at Liberty want to offer our help to students and others in the region. As Christians, we are called to be beacons of light — reflective of Jesus Christ — to all.

Liberty University offers us the perfect capacity to offer unique assistance.

Through our 15,000 Club — an ongoing scholarship committee that I instituted at the time of Liberty’s founding — we are making available the full tuition scholarships to Gulf Coast college students who were displaced by the hurricane and who are faced with inoperable schools.

On Thursday, I welcomed two young ladies from the University of New Orleans who are transferring to our School of Business. Both of them also lost their homes, as well as their school.

In addition, our Liberty Godparent Home for Unwed Mothers and Family Life Services Adoption Agency has been asked by the Virginia Governor’s Office to assist in the temporary placement of itinerant children who need help.

Many babies and children have reportedly been separated from their parents in the Gulf, and we are gladly opening our arms to these innocent victims. The Godparent Home is a beautiful facility and we employee a compassionate band of workers and medical/educational staff who are anxious to help.

At Liberty, we have already heard from many other students who are enrolling in our programs; we expect to hear from many others in the days to come.

These students will not only be able to continue their education, but their spiritual lives will be nurtured and the emotional wounds can begin to heal. God may call a young Billy Graham or Rick Warren from this very group.

Readers wishing to help us provide scholarships to students arriving from the Gulf Coast, assist us financially with displaced infants and/or provide help the NAMB Disaster Relief Team may do so at:

I would truly appreciate any help as we reach out to our needy neighbors from the Gulf Coast in the weeks to come.

5. I think most public and private colleges and universities could...

...match or even better that, thus making sure the displaced NOs people are not exposed to Creationism (aka: racism) and Intelligent Design.

From Morris's The Beginning Of the World, Second Edition (1991), pp. 147-148:

The descendants of Ham were marked especially for secular service to mankind. Indeed they were to be 'servants of servants,' that is 'servants extraordinary!' Although only Canaan is mentioned specifically (possibly because the branch of Ham's family through Canaan would later come into most direct contact with Israel), the whole family of Ham is in view. The prophecy is worldwide in scope and, since Shem and Japheth are covered, all Ham's descendants must be also. These include all nations which are neither Semitic nor Japhetic. Thus, all of the earth's 'colored' races,--yellow, red, brown, and black--essentially the Afro-Asian group of peoples, including the American Indians--are possibly Hamitic in origin and included within the scope of the Canaanitic prophecy, as well as the Egyptians, Sumerians, Hittites, and Phoenicians of antiquity.

The Hamites have been the great 'servants' of mankind in the following ways, among many others: (1) they were the original explorers and settlers of practically all parts of the world, following the dispersion at Babel; (2) they were the first cultivators of most of the basic food staples of the world, such as potatoes, corn, beans, cereals, and others, as well as the first ones to domesticate most animals; (3) they developed most of the basic types of structural forms and building tools and materials; (4) they were the first to develop fabrics for clothing and various sewing and weaving devices; (5) they were the discoverers and inventors of an amazingly wide variety of medicines and surgical practices and instruments; (6) most of the concepts of basic mathematics, including algebra, geometry, and trigonometry were developed by Hamites; (7) the machinery of commerce and trade--money, banks, postal systems, etc.--were invented by them; (8) they developed paper, ink, block printing, movable type, and other accoutrements of writing and communication. It seems that almost no matter what the particular device or principle or system may be, if one traces back far enough, he will find that it originated with the Sumerians or Egyptians or early Chinese or some other Hamitic people. Truly they have been the 'servants' of mankind in a most amazing way.

Yet the prophecy again has its obverse side. Somehow they have only gone so far and no farther. The Japhethites and Semites have, sooner or later, taken over their territories, and their inventions, and then developed them and utilized them for their own enlargement. Often the Hamites, especially the Negroes, have become actual personal servants or even slaves to the others. Possessed of a genetic character concerned mainly with mundane matters, they have eventually been displaced by the intellectual and philosophical acumen of the Japhethites and the religious zeal of the Semites.
