Dear Alumni,
The color of spring has bloomed to its fullest
marking the end of another school year at The King's
College. We pray that you’re enjoying the beauty of
each day and are rejoicing in the fact that you no
longer have to move a school year’s worth of dust
out of resident housing. ElisaBeth Yoder, your new
Alumni Representative, has enjoyed learning about
the rich history of both King's and NBC. She is very
excited to be taking up where Jordan left off and
hopes she can serve you well.
In this edition, we’ll discover all that went on
during graduation, pay tribute to someone who was
very special to NBC alumni, learn about what
students will be doing in Albania, and hear from
Diane Ott ‘81 NBC. Homecoming is coming closer so
remember to visit us at
www.tkc.edu/alumni for news as well as bulletin
board submissions and photo galleries!

Graduation
Dear Fellow Alumni,
It was my pleasure to be able to attend the 2006
Commencement ceremony at King’s the week-end of the
13th. I am happy to report that we have added 22
wonderful young people to the ranks of the alumni of the
college. I would encourage any and all to join us next
year in NYC for Commencement which is a time of true
connection with your Alma Mater. There is nothing that
can replace actually putting a face to these new
graduates that are now King’s alums. During commencement
we heard from Senator William Armstrong who gave a
moving charge to the graduates to live well and honor
Jesus with their lives. Kristen Redlinger, Valedictorian
of the 2006 class, told all her fellow classmates, “I
can’t believe we made it, we weathered the rigorous
academics, and at the same time grew spiritually,
emotionally and mentally.” It was evident that everyone
from the administration and staff had great joy in
seeing these students finish their studies well.
Every year for the past 4 years we have scheduled an
Alumni Committee meeting for the morning of graduation
so we can work through issues that pertain to the
Alumni. We spent this session meeting with
administration strategizing on how we can bring the most
value to you, our Alumni. I want you to know, I am
extremely encouraged by the progress we are making, and
by the commitment this administration has made to the
Alumni of both King's and Northeastern.
I came away from Commencement, more convinced than ever
that the vision of Dr. Anderson and Percy Crawford
continues to produce graduates committed to effecting
the world for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Warmly,
Rick MillhamJr. ‘90
President, The King's College Alumni Association |

A Tribute to Nancy
Justnes
By: Susan Czarnecki ‘89 NBC
Nancy (Kristiansen) Justnes
NBC ‘60 & ‘69 went home to be with the Lord on May
1, 2006 after battling leukemia.
Many Northeastern alumni
remember Nancy as the anchor and glue that held them
together between the time Northeastern closed in
1990 until the merge with King’s in 1999. She was a
wonderful person who made it her mission to inform,
care for and connect with many alumni. |
|
I
enjoyed working with her as she served on the Alumni
Executive Committee as a decade representative.
Nancy kept up with the lives and activities of many
alumni no matter what year they graduated and always
surprised me with her knowledge on the latest news
about each alum.
We will all miss Nancy and admit she can not be
replaced. I know that I owe her a wealth of
gratitude. |

Mission Trip to Albania
King's is sponsoring a summer mission trip to Albania.
While there the team will be conducting worldview
surveys with Albanian college students, using the
results as a means of introducing them to Christ. In
an effort to show collaboration, the King's mission
team will be partnering with the Albanian Campus
Crusade for Christ ministry, International team for
campus outreach efforts.
In line with the College’s
vision, students will be meeting with the nation’s
business, economic, political and Church leaders.
These leaders will be sharing their views with the
team on historical and cultural issues shaping
Albania. Other |
Albanian mission team along with Mr. Dilja |
|
opportunities the King's team
will have include interviews on a nationally
broadcasted youth radio program. By participating in
this national dialog, King's students hope to
understand and influence the relevant issues
confronting Albania – as well as the spiritual,
political and economic solutions.
In preparation for their
journey, Lublin Dilja, of the Permanent Mission of
the Republic of Albania to the United Nations,
addressed The King’s College. Mr. Dilja, who has
served as a member of Albanian Parliament and as the
Ambassador from Albania to Washington, D.C., spoke
to students, faculty and staff. He talked about the
political history and cultural development of
Albania.
The Albania mission trip represents the realization
of a long-term goal of the College – to interact
with the spiritual, political and economic needs of
a nation. This holistic approach is expected to
introduce a new and effective approach for
Christians toward global missions. |

Lord I
Choose To Keep My Eyes on You
By: Diane Ott ‘81 NBC
Lord, I choose to keep my eyes on You;
You’ll give me Your Grace to pull me through!
Though storms arise and distractions come,
Lord I thank you for all You have done!
You are the Lord---Your grace sustains me;
It puts my worries at ease!
Your Word makes my mountains fall;
It gives me strength to stand up sturdy
and tall.
Lord, I come to Your altar now;
At Your feet I humbly bow.
I ask You Lord to fill my cup to overflowing;
Let Your character in me be Radiant and Glowing!
Fill my cup Lord with Your Grace and Mercy;
Lord come now, for I am thirsty!
Oh Lord I give You thanks for everything
You’ve done;
With You always by my side, the VICTORY
has been Won!
*Diane is now serving as a missionary in Brazil* |
