In the Business of Life Change

Again and again you will hear Multnomah faculty and staff members say "Alumni are our greatest recruiters," and they are proven correct as we listen to the stories. Incoming students often tell us about that special youth leader, pastor, speaker, or summer camp worker that changed their lives forever.

Bob and Cindi Norsworthy - BS 1983, Wives Certificate 1983

It’s been thirty-three years since I first felt the passion and the intercession behind those words, delivered in that thick Scottish brogue.

Dr. Luis Palau (Grad Cert ’61),  our 75th anniversary commencement speaker, encouraged this year’s graduates, faculty, and staff alike, as he considered his Multnomah experience and shared how God had used his time at Multnomah to prepare him for the ministry of evangelism he is involved in today.
