It has been 110 years since the doors of PBTS were opened to students. Granted it was over a store on the corner of Main and Arch Streets in Lestershire (Johnson City) not on the current campus. It has been 99 years since the first students walked onto "God's chosen place" that is located "on the banks of Susquehanna." In a little over a week the campus will be filled with activity as new students and transfer students walk onto the campus of Davis preparing for their future in serving God. Keep them in prayer as they begin this new journey as many of you can remember your first days on the campus of PBTS/PBC/Davis. Classes begin on Monday, August 30, 2010.

Yesterday (Saturday, December 12, 2009) was the 3rd annual Andrew's Good News Christmas party. This was the 2nd year it was held at Davis College and it was a wonderful event. This year the event was divided into two separate parties to help with the congestion that was an issue last year. There were still a lot of people that attended and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. The kids were entertained in Lowe Hall by Clowns and Puppets, while Adults could enjoy a cup of coffee in the Broadway cafe. Games and Family pictures were taken in the Klee Dining room in the basement of Chatlos-Davis and food was served in the Robb Gymnasium. Several students, Alumni, local groups, and local churches provided a wide range of music in the Gym and Cafe. Most importantly and the reason for the whole event the Gospel message was shared. It was shared by Dr. Dino Pedrone and several students. Several people got saved last night and several seeds were planted, which makes it worth it all. It was a great event. If you were not able to make it this year we encourage you to come next year.

I was given a treasure trove of History yesterday related to the History of PBTS. I had a great time going through the items last night and tonight. They were donated from Richie Robb (son of Ken and Esther Robb). The all the items are great, but my favorite are the 35mm slides. So many great pictures I have never seen. The images above are just a taste of what I have been taking in. I have a device for scanning these to digital form. These images show the work to build the current Main Building on the campus of Davis College, Chatlos-Davis.

Thank you Richie!

The 2009-2010 semester of Davis College is about to begin. Today, (Saturday, August 22, 2009) I went over to the campus to get some pictures of the campus and to see some friends that are doing RA training. Today was the CPR/First Aid Training for the RAs. Thankfully the rain held off so I was able to get some pictures outside and more importantly on the roof of Chatlos. I was hoping to get some good pictures of the campus from a higher point of view. A few above are from the roof of Chatlos-Davis. As you can see from the first image, Davis College has been blessed by receiving two new vans to replace the older vans. Continue to keep the college in your prayers as a new semester is about to begin.

I put together a Photosynth of my images from the roof of Chatlos (you will need Microsoft SilverLight)--to download go here.
