Deutoronomy 30:19,20 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have

set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that

both you and your descendants may live; 20 that you may love the Lord your God, that

you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him for He is your life and the length

of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers,

to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.

Wow! What a promise! What a vision! What a God! And, what a CHOICE! God gave His people a choice, just as he does for each and every one of us today. That choice is life or death, very simple. Some of us just ignore it, some of us run from it, some of us coast with the culture, and some of us embrace life no matter what the cost. Louisiana College has chosen LIFE, and at all costs!

Most recently, God gave Louisiana College another opportunity to put Him first before the World. The Obamacare legislation would require us to fund abortion causing practices to all of our employees and potentially to our students as well. We filed suit against the President’s murderous mandate and are prepared to take it to whatever lengths God leads. The scripture is true and clear, “. . . choose LIFE!”, and we have.

The comparison is a duality. Louisiana College not only chooses LIFE from conception, but we choose to support Louisiana College forever, for LIFE! And with that choice, goes all that the Bible calls for. One hundred percent of ourselves filled by the Holy Spirit, one hundred percent of the time – for LIFE!

Vision 20-20

Dear Friends


Louisiana College, your College, has made a “no turning back” choice for LIFE and if you haven’t yet, we are asking you to do so as well. The College has come to the edge of the Promised Land and we are moving in. God has imparted His vision to us, “to change the world for Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.” We have chosen to follow without fear and He has rewarded us with blessings, protection, and LIFE. Just in the first five years since 2005 we have grown 89% in enrollment. Our budget has grown over 70% since 2005. We became a graduate school, began LC Pressler School of Law with the first class to begin in 2013, started the Caskey School of Divinity with 57 students with growth to over 100 and 162 souls saved through its witnessing practicum, founded Louisiana College Tanzania on 433 acres of donated land in Africa, founded a Nurse Led Outpatient Clinic, and this year, in March the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education approved LC to begin the Louisiana Collegiate International Academy, which is a high school/middle college for local and international students to pursue a high school diploma while concurrently enrolling in College classes at Louisiana College. Students will graduate with a diploma from LCIA and can begin their traditional college years with up to fifty college credits already earned. In the very near future, we will assume the old Huey P. Long Hospital where we will move our Nurse led Outpatient Clinic and where we will found our graduate medical education programs including the Louisiana College School

of Medicine.

Do we serve a big God or what! Every day on our campus is a miraculous experience. Students are finding God’s will for their lives, faculty are sharing their personal faith in Jesus Christ, athletic teams are playing for Christ, academic minds are dedicating every thought captive for Him, and

literally hundreds of lost souls are coming to Christ through both on and off-campus ministries of Louisiana College.

My question is, will you choose to be an exciting part of Louisiana College for LIFE? In the last three years alumni and friends have given Louisiana College $13.5 million to operate and grow LC. In August of this year, we will move into a brand new 45 bed apartment style dormitory. We will begin construction of a second and third dormitory as soon as this one is finished. We have run out of room for our on campus students and God is providing quality housing for our future. If you choose LC for LIFE, you can help, you can be a part of a Divine Vision that God is bringing to fruition.

How?

First, Choose to Pray every day for Louisiana College. Bind Satan from his attacks in Jesus name.

Second, Choose to Get involved in recruiting students to LC, visit events on the campus, and spread the good news of what God is miraculously doing at your College.

Third, Choose to Give to the mission of Louisiana College. You can’t out-give God. If every Louisiana Baptist and alum gave a mere $10 per month, our entire mobilization of strategic planning would catapult forward and the structure for our exponential growth would be reinforced. Furthermore, students could be scholar-shipped allowing them to stay in school and graduate, and faculty and staff could be paid as they should be. In short, your support can make the difference in how Louisiana College will “change the World for Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit!” It’s a CHOICE. Will you choose to support Louisiana College for LIFE?

In Christ,Joe W. AguillardPresident

Landmark Court DecisionLouisiana College, Biblical Truth Prevail

After almost seven years, the suit filed by four former faculty members of Louisiana College, has been decided by the court and in full favor of Louisiana College, its President, Dr. Joe Aguillard, and four other named Board of Trustees’ defendants, Dr. Leon Hyatt, Alan Shoemaker, Amy Russell, and H. Kent Aguillard, Esq. Judge Doggett of the Ninth Judicial District Court signed her decision in ruling in favor of Louisiana College on March 28, 2012, and ordered that the lawsuit be dismissed.

The case is a landmark decision for Louisiana College, religious institutions everywhere who stand upon Biblical truth, and for Louisiana Baptists who have proudly supported their only Biblically based higher education institution.

The court’s ruling derives from the establishment clause of the First Amendment that Congress is prohibited from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.” The court’s decision would require the court to choose sides in a dispute over Baptist Theology which violates the establishment clause. The court has said that it does not have the power to choose which Baptist view is correct.

To “delve deeply into Baptist theology . . . is precisely what is prohibited.” Slip. Op. at p. 8. The four professors testified that they held an “. . . errant view of the Bible . . .” Slip. Op. at p. 10

The dispute centered around whether or not the Bible is the inerrant Word of God Himself. Louisiana College, a Southern Baptist institution, proudly operates in accordance with the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 which articulates the Bible’s truths and supports Biblical inerrancy. The mission of Louisiana College is to provide liberal arts, professional, and graduate programs characterized by devotion to the preeminence of the Lord Jesus, allegiance to the authority of the Holy Scriptures, dedication to academic excellence for the glory of God, and commitment to change the world for Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.

“This is an extraordinarily important religious liberties case. It is historic,” said attorney Frederic Theodore (“Ted”) Le Clercq who represented the College during the years of litigation.

President Joe Aguillard, who served on the faculty for years with the four plaintiffs before they filed suit said, “God’s Word is true, and Louisiana College will never move from its position on Biblical inerrancy, regardless of attacks from any and all directions. The Victory is the Lord’s!” Aguillard said.


Louisiana College sophomore, Kara Parikh enjoys sharing her story about how she came to know about LC. Not only is she from Chicago, Illinois, but she is at LC on a full ride scholarship.

Kara is the Smith’s scholar of her class.

“God just led me here. Humanly speaking, it was an accident. But it was definitely a Divine Intervention. Definitely a God thing,” said Kara.

Knowing her course of study was to be pre-med Kara had her heart set on attending a four year university in Florida, one she wanted to attend since her freshman year of high school. The cost of tuition was important for the Parikh family and the school in Florida was willing to offer Kara a very generous amount in scholarships, so Florida seemed to be the best option. But one day, Kara was talking with a family friend who is a Tioga High School alumni and he suggested that she look into LC.

“I thought ‘this is pointless, I don’t want to go there. I know where I want to go.’ But I looked into it a little anyway, just to be nice,” said Kara.

After several phone calls and visits to the LC website, Kara found herself submitting an application. Kara, still very reluctant to come to LC, spoke with her admissions officer, Mary Evelyn Cesar. Eventually, Kara ended up at LC for a visit.

“While I was out here, I met a lot of faculty and they were all really nice, really personable and they really cared,” said Kara. However, Kara could not have predicted just how life changing this visit would be.

While visiting LC, Kara competed in the Top 30 competition.After an extensive process of interviews Kara left everything in God’s hands. When it was announced at the Top 30 banquet that Kara won the scholarship, at first she did not believe that they actually said her name.

“I thought that maybe because I wanted it so bad I’d just thought they said my name. So, I kind of started sitting back down but I looked over at Mary Evelyn and she said ‘no that’s you.’ I just started crying because it really came out of nowhere,” said Kara.

Once Kara told her parents the news, they wanted her to really understand how big of a deal this was for their family.

“After I won my mom said ‘I know you understand how big of a deal this is but just so you really understand, if you didn’t win this scholarship, you really weren’t going to go to Florida.’ We just didn’t have any money to put towards my tuition and I wouldn’t have been able to go anywhere,” said Kara.

But all throughout the application process, the Parikh family kept praying for God to provide a way for Kara to get an education.“God just provided, out of nowhere, at the last minute. It’s really humbling and it really grew my faith,” said Kara.

Now that Kara is a sophomore, she knows that God has immense plans for her at LC. Aside from the relationships she has built with friends and professors, Kara knows that there is a greater reason she is at LC, even if God has not totally revealed it to her yet.

“I was just amazed at what God had done. It was seemingly so random how he brought me from Chicago to Louisiana. I didn’t know anybody here and it was completely out of the blue. It was definitely a God thing.” Despite Kara’s wishes, she has not had the opportunity to meet the donors who made God’s plan for her life achievable.

“My donors were an elderly couple who both lived in Texas.The husband passed away my freshman year, I believe, and I haven’t had the chance to meet the widow or her family,” said Kara. Looking back on her journey thus far, Kara is amazed at how God has shown Himself and His plans for Kara’s future.

“I remember the day I flew out for the Top 30 Competition and I remember praying and telling God ‘I am so confused right now God, you’re going to have to make it very clear to me what you want me to do’ and He did.

“It’s just so amazing to see how God provides for His will. If He calls you to do something, He will provide the means for you to do it. I felt God calling me to be a medical missionary and you can’t do that without going to school…but God always provides for His will,” said Kara.

Kara knows that God’s plan for her merely begins at LC. Full of joy and comfort in the Lord, she prays that the He will continue to show His will for her life everyday as she knows He always has.

“He is faithful.”

Student SpotlightKara Parikh


Louisiana College has had the long tradition of premiere classical and church music training. Walk through Weathersby Fine Arts Building and you can hear music floating through the halls, from piano sonatas to vocal exercises.

This is what drew Ray Ford to Louisiana College in the late ‘60s. He not only received training in preparation for a church music career but he found his life partner, Diane and the beautiful duet began. She was a music education major and he a church music major. They married and began their journey leading church music. Ray and Diane had three children who are Louisiana College graduates. Ray Ford believes that the music department at Louisiana College was integral in preparing him for music ministry. The instruction of traditional music education folded into and applied to church ministry was invaluable. The call to lead congregations in worship has been his life’s dream. Ray is still singing, and leading worship.

As with many faithful ministry couples, Ray’s wife became ill and fought a long battle with cancer. She lost that battle in 1988. Ray sought to keep her memory alive in a way that would benefit other church musicians. It was decided that a scholarship would be set up in her name. This has been such blessing for many music students.

He has continued on his journey having served as a worship leader for 49 years. There is an old hymn that comes to mind when reflecting on Ray’s contribution in his wife’s memory. “Oh Love That Will Not Let Me Go” by George Matheson. Ray’s greatest love is for Christ, His Savior. Second would be the love he has for his wife…

O love that will not let me go,I rest my weary soul in thee;I give thee back the life I owe, That in thine ocean depths its flowMay richer, fuller be.

O joy that sleekest me through pain,I cannot close my heart to thee;I trace the rainbow through the rain,And feel the promise is not vain,That morn shall tearless be.

Louisiana College seeks men and women of faith to consider an investment with eternal returns! Consider sponsoring a scholarship in the name of a deceased loved one.

Thank you, Ray Ford.

Carl & Helen Vogel TrustThe largest single one-time gift in Louisiana College history

Seven years ago, unbeknownst to him at the time, the President of Louisiana College, Dr. Joe Aguillard, would receive one of the most important and unforgettable calls of his presidency. The voice on the other end of the phone introduced himself as Carl Vogel, a100 year old alum of the College. He praised the Board of Trustees for taking the College back to her roots of conservatism and challenged the President to “hold fast to those unchanging values!”

“That was a day that I will never forget”, said Aguillard in reference to his first conversation with LC’s oldest alum, Carl Vogel, a proud graduate of the College and contemporary of well-known and long-time LC Professor Charles Cavanaugh. “After about 90 minutes of answering questions about the state of the College and our endowments, he turned the conversation to the great days he experienced at LC. He talked about how LC had changed his life forever and how as long as the College remained Biblically true, he wanted to give back to the College in repayment for what it had given to him.”

The Carl and Helen Vogel Trust totals approximately $2.5 Million and has been donated to the College as an unrestricted endowment. The $2.5 Million is the largest single one-time gift to be given to Louisiana College in its 106 year history. In the last three and one half years, Louisiana College has received over $13 Million in gifts from alumni and friends of the College. Louisiana College is a private Christian liberal arts College of professional and graduate studies with a mission grounded in the preeminence of Jesus Christ, the authority of the Holy Scriptures, Academic Excellence, and a passion for Changing the World for Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. The College is experiencing exponential growth with enrollment having grown over 89% in President Aguillard’s first five years as President and an Operational Budget growth of 70% during his presidency.

“...hold fast to those unchanging values.” - Carl Vogel, Class of 1931
