A “GIFT” FOR PRESIDENT CARTER

BGU Doctor of Ministry Student, Lauren Speeth with President Jimmy CarterAs this photo was about to be taken, BGU Doctor of Ministry Student, Lauren Speeth (CEO – The Elfenworks Foundation), handed former President Jimmy Carter her copy of Ray Bakke’s book THE URBAN CHRISTIAN: EFFECTIVE MINISTRY IN TODAY’S URBAN WORLD, thinking that he would enjoy reading it. According to Lauren, “An aide was about to take it and put it aside with other things, but President Carter held onto it.” Perhaps that book is now on President Carter’s nightstand or among a stack of books he intends to get to. Lauren has ordered another copy for herself.
