One of the highlight events for The College of Biblical Studies is the Annual Scholarship Banquet. Each year, God uses this banquet to raise priceless scholarship money that helps CBS to “Develop Multi-Ethnic Christian Leaders.” The keynote speakers are always great, but the best part has consistently been the opportunity to hear heartfelt testimony from students and graduates about how God has used CBS in their lives.
While i’ve attended for several years, at the 2009 Scholarship Banquet, I had the priviledge of being the Photographer as well. As I have been building the website for this years Scholarship Banquet, I was digging through stuff from last year’s event, and thought I would put a few of my favorite shots up here. What a joy it was to capture these precious moments in the history of the College.
For me, one of the best parts this time around was hearing from the “Dynamic Duo” of Pastor William Lindsey and his wife, Shawn (image below). With each of them addressing a packed out crowd and sharing their heart, it was massively encouraging to hear how God has used CBS to equip them for ministry together in their church as husband and wife. Having already known William and Shawn previously, it was my joy not just to hear their testimony, but to know that it came from two people who have a genuine passion to see their church grown in the knowledge of God. Not only that, but William – you guys look sharp bro!
The tables are always set perfectly, with every little excellent detail in it’s place. Speaking of excellent details, check out those chocolate mousse cakes!
The River Oaks Country Club is a beautiful location, inside and out. Here’s a few shots I snagged outside just before things got going inside.
I also got to shoot the video’s for the event, which we’re really just simple one-camera shots to document the student testimonies and keynote speaker. So here’s the view from behind the camera.
Bruce Munsterman of KHCB Radio Houston was there, as always, to welcome everyone, and to function as the DJ for the night.
