2018 Ministry Banquet
We are thrilled to announce the details of our annual banquet! This year, our banquet will take on a decidedly “local” flavor as we offer up local testimonies, local talent, and a very well known local speaker to share about the importance of the work that CEF® does at home and abroad.
Dr. Logan Hampton, President of Lane College, will be our keynote speaker for the evening. He has personal experience with CEF from his time as pastor and shares our vision for reaching boys and girls with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Dr. Hampton has a Doctorate of Education from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He is active in the college, community, and church. Dr. Hampton serves on the Board of Directors for National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and the Board of Trustees for West Tennessee Healthcare Foundation in Jackson, TN. He served twenty-four years as a pastor in the Arkansas Region of the First Episcopal District. Along with his impressive professional and spiritual credentials, we are confident that you will enjoy and appreciate his energetic speaking style.
Along with an outstanding local speaker, we will have entertainment by the Kindred Spirits Quartet. They are an outstanding gospel group that has served West Tennessee for well over 30 years. We will also feature testimonies from people who have been touched by our ministry in different West Tennessee communities. Click HERE to see a larger image of Kindred Spirits.
