Centenary In the Know

Three missionaries from First United Methodist Church of Shreveport announce their plans to continue their help for those in Haiti.

The group is launching the “City of Hope” at Centenary College’s Gold Dome. Starting Wednesday at 3:00 p.m., the group will build a tent city and sleep there for a week with hopes of raising $1 million to help orphanages in Haiti.

The three missionaries, Nycki Sorensen, 2009 Centenary graduate Britney Winn and Hu Debow, returned to the US Saturday evening from Port-au-Prince on a military cargo plane.

More than 200 students, faulty, staff and volunteers from the community took part in the 2nd Annual MLK Day of Service. The event was the kick-off of Dream Week 2010: Keeping the Dream Alive celebrating the life of Martin Luther King with activities designed to capture the spirit of his message, and provide the opportunity to reflect on the past while seeking hope, determination and an opportunity to act upon the promise of the future.

Rick Rowe from KTBS Channel 3 in Shreveport visited Centenary College and highlighted the success of the College in this segment that originally aired Dec. 3, 2009.
