NORTHPOINT
Bible College and Graduate School
The first time it happened, I
was caught off guard. I was
teaching theology to college
students when one asked to
see the relevance of Pentecostal teaching and experiences for a world in great
need. Simply put, he asked,
‘Is Pentecostalism simply emotional hype, or does it really make a difference for hurting humanity?’
If young adults are cynical, it is understandable. They
grew up in an era characterized by financial and sexual scandals from the church house to the White House.
Idiosyncratic evangelists filled the world’s television
screens. Divorce rates, even among Christians, skyrocketed during their lifetime. They were educated in
a pluralistic, postmodern, deconstructionist, amoral
matrix. Sadly, they have seen preachers, teachers, and
politicians who were filled with bigotry, avarice, megalomania, and neuroses.
liberating those in bondage (Luke 4:18-19). In the worst homes, in the worst
neighborhoods, in the worst cities, in the worst countries, the Holy Spirit is transforming ‘pathos’ (the emotions of suffering and despair) into hope and wholeness.
He brings joy and peace that transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
In concrete jungles that are filled with gangs, drugs, prostitution, violence, murder, suicide, and suffering, Pentecostal churches are singing songs of joy—the
songs of Zion.
Does Pentecostal spirituality involve emotionalism? Yes, of course. If one understands that emotive responses are normal expressions of an inward joy that flows
from a supernatural, wholistic liberation (through the work of the Holy Spirit) then
tears, laughter, raised hands, and other demonstrations are not bizarre.
I am happy to report that when their questions are answered honestly and with
transparency, young people respond to the love and call of God. When they experience the radical, life-transforming power of the Holy Spirit, their cynicism
evaporates. They fall in love with God and feel love and compassion for their
dysfunctional families, friends, communities, and world. They begin praying for
Holy Spirit filling, anointing, gifts, and fruit. They beg for opportunities to make a
real difference in the world.
That’s why I’m at Northpoint Bible College--to help young adults experience Pentecostal power and help equip them to change the world.

DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
At Northpoint Bible College there are so many wonderful young men and women who have the call of God on their
lives. We want to do everything we can to help them succeed. One of the challenges these young people face is to
keep school bills low so they are able to enter ministry as soon as they graduate.
One way to help them is to provide scholarships. Most of the Zion/Northpoint Alumni had help along the way from
someone. A great way to invest in your school, as well as in the next generation, is to provide scholarships. If you
would like to establish a new scholarship of at least $500 (or more) contact me at [email protected] or call
978-478-3402.
This year we have some wonderful international students who are in desperate need of financial help to return to
Northpoint this fall. International students cannot receive federal aid and cannot work while they are in the U.S. These restrictions make it difficult
for them to secure enough funds to continue their studies. Please consider giving to the “Making a Difference Scholarship,” to help these young
people continue their preparation for ministry!
We have three scholarship funds that accept gifts of any size.
Please prayerfully consider helping.
M A K ING A DIF F ER ENCE S CHOL A R SHIP
This is a fund that allows Northpoint Bible College to financially assist students who are facing
extraordinary challenges in life. Without this help these students may not be able to continue
preparing for ministry. Both American and International students may receive this scholarship.
A L UMNI S CHOL A R SHIP
The Alumni Scholarship is generally funded by Alumni to help students offset the cost of
tuition. This scholarship is awarded to students who demonstrate financial need and who clearly
articulate a call to ministry.
P R E SIDEN T I A L S CHOL A R SHIP
Northpoint Bible College receives applications from prospective students who cannot afford to attend the college. They apply in faith that God will
provide. The Presidential Scholarship was established to help that student who would not otherwise be able to afford to attend Bible college.
T O GI V E please mail your check to Northpoint Bible College, 320 S. Main St., Haverhill, MA 01835, and include the name of the scholarship on
the memo line. You can also give online at https://northpoint.edu/donations
Here are a few words of thanks from our students for previously awarded scholarships:
“To say that I am grateful just seems to fall short of my true feelings. It is with great humility and honor that I accept and will use this scholarship to the glory of God. Thank you again, and God bless.” ~ Paul
“I write this letter to express the joy of my heart that now I am able to attend Northpoint Bible College. As a matter of fact, it was not possible for me to come here if not for this amazing scholarship.” ~ Thiery
“With your donation I have peace while learning and being inspired by God. I thank you not only on behalf of myself, but because of your
support for the kingdom of God.” ~ Samuel

TRANSITIONS
RUTH CHRISTOPHER
In February, Sister Ruth Christopher
entered the presence of the Lord at
the age of 88 following a brief hospital stay. She went peacefully in her
sleep not long after a young Alumnus stopped in to see her. She would
have been very pleased to know that,
having given nearly 50 years of her life serving the Lord and
students at Zion, first in East Providence and later in Barrington.
Up until this past year, Sister Ruthie was a faithful attendee at
special events like Homecoming and graduation, and students
and Alumni were always happy to see her and to shower her
with love. Dr. Patrick Gallagher looked after Sister Ruthie over the
years, making sure she was well taken care of. Alumni Charles
and Rhoda Pierce (both Class of 1972) and their daughter Jenny
embraced her as a part of their family. Sister Ruthie also
appreciated the loving care of her pastor, Rev. Randal Ackland
of South Attleboro Assembly of God. She will be missed!
After 25 years of service as Dean of Academics, and 33 years at Northpoint, Dr. Patrick G.
Gallagher (’80) returns to the classroom full-time beginning in the fall. Dr. Dan Howell was
named Chief Academic Officer and will be formally installed during the fall convocation which
will take place on August 24, 2016 at 10:30 AM.
Left to Right: Amy Maranville was named Registrar. Dr. Paul Conway (‘92) has accepted a position as lead pastor at Lowell Assembly of God in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. David Hodge
(’95/’96) and Ben Phillips (’04) transitioned from Adjunct to full-time Faculty.

MISSIONARY NEWS
Northpoint continues to be the
“Joy of the Whole Earth!”
Kevin Ross (‘82) has been privileged to lead over 92,000 people to Christ in the past 24 years,
ministering in the churches and
streets of Ethiopia, Jamaica, Mexico, England, Wales, France, Germany, Canada, South Africa,
Zimbabwe, and Malawi. This unique evangelistic missionary
endeavor features Kevin in full clown regalia. Kevin also conducts seminars teaching others how to minister to children in
particular, though the fruit of his ministry has included the salvation of people of all ages. The vision of Ross Family Ministries, which
Kevin founded with his wife Elaine,
is to “reach the little lambs before
they become lost sheep.”
The following alumni have been commissioned as fulltime
missionaries with Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM):
Brittany (Vajda ’09) and Doug Favuzza, Enghe (’06) and Jason
(’06) Fuentes, and Jeff Zito (‘12); those commissioned as Missionary Associates with AGWM include Lauren (Wallace ‘10)
and Max (‘12) Brockmeyer, and Jacqueline Doucette (‘03).
Michelle Stoddard (‘16) has accepted a
position in the Northern Mariana Islands
(Micronesia) where she will be teaching
third and fourth graders in a Christian
school and serving in the local church.
Congratulations to John Paul Mansour (’03) who was named Paramedic of the Year by the New York
City Fire Department! He is pictured
here with his wife, Jowita (Dabrowska ’03), and eldest son, Noah,
following the award ceremony. John Paul serves on the Zion/
Northpoint Alumni Association board.
In 2015, alumnus Joe SantaMaria enjoyed an exhilarating ministry trip to Zimbabwe, Africa, where his host was Titus Murefu ‘96.
“An alumni mailing
prompted me to attend
Homecoming 2014, and
the Lord impressed on my
heart that it would be a
life-changing experience. I was not let down! During a special
communion presentation, when President Arnett asked if everyone had been served, a man stood up in the audience and said,
“We have not been served.” He, along with others representing
other continents and nations, explained that their homelands
had not been adequately served with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Tears streamed down my face. I had
never thought of ministering in Africa; after all, I’m from Brooklyn, New
York, and we have the United Nations
of ethnicity right in our own backyard.
After the service, I was greeted by Bro. Titus Murefu. We had
never met before, but in the Lord’s providence, he invited me
to Zimbabwe to minister with him. By the summer I was in
Harare, Zimbabwe where I had the privilege of ministering for
five straight days. I am so thankful to Titus and his lovely wife,
Winnie, and especially to the Lord, for this opportunity. Once a
Zionian, always a Zionian!”
Tina (’15) and Lucas (’16) Oliveira have been appointed as
Missionary Associates to the Netherlands. Both Tina and Lucas
were excellent students and much appreciated for their work in
the offices of the Academic Dean and the Alumni Office.
Following their itineration, they plan
to join other Zion/Northpoint Alumni
who are currently serving in that nation: Jan (’97) and Alla (Azarova ’96)
Barendse, Stephan Barendse (‘04),
Eric (’02) and Reina (van den Hoed ’05) Cappelli, Adrian La Torre
Pastorkamp, Rebecca (Loiacono) and Chris Green (both Class of
2008), and Judy Mensch (’78).
The light of the gospel is so desperately needed in what was
once a devout nation. Today, sadly, atheists outnumber Christians. Fittingly, as the Oliveiras begin a coffee house ministry,
their theme is, “Sharing the love of Christ one cup at a time.”
BLESSED EVENTS!

GREETINGS ALUMNI AND FRIENDS,
It has been an exciting first year serving as Alumni president. I again want
to thank Brother Pat Gallagher (’80), Dean Gallagher, for his years of hard
work and passion on behalf of the Alumni Association. It was wonderful to
have the opportunity to honor him at the banquet during last year’s Homecoming. He has left his mark on each of our lives; we love you, Brother Pat!
Brother Nat Saginario (‘63) and Brother Joe Ford (’78) have stepped down
from the Alumni Board. We are thankful for the years of service and wisdom
that they gave to the Association.
I have a deep love for Northpoint as it has deposited some valuable lessons of faith in my own life.
One part of the Association’s vision is to reconnect
Alumni from all over the world to the school and
to each other. I am asking each Alumnus/Alumna to
play a small part in reaching this goal. Northpoint
has always been about relationships. Let’s network together to ensure that
no one is “MIA.” I have connected with several of my classmates over the
past year. I am asking for your partnership in doing some work to strengthen the Alumni link by reconnecting with those in your sphere of influence.
I appreciate the dedication of our Association’s
vice president, Joseph Arnold ’00. Please join me
in congratulating him on his graduation from the
Northpoint Master’s Degree program! Joseph and
his wife, Jessica (Tyrrell ’01), pastor in Proctorsville,
Vermont. Their faithfulness to Northpoint and to
our Association has been consistent since graduating more than 15 years ago.
This past year we again had a great time in Lakeland, Florida; York, Pennsylvania; and in the church I am privileged to pastor, North Providence Assembly
of God in Rhode Island. Stay tuned, and please make every effort to join us
when we are in your area.
I am looking forward to connecting with you at this year’s Homecoming.
Please pen the dates in your calendar, and get ready for an inspirational weekend as we make “An Appeal to Heaven” and reconnect with each other. I appreciate social media, but what I appreciate more is seeing your face in person. I
can’t wait to experience God’s presence together. If you are having a class reunion, be sure to connect with your classmates and make plans. Check out the
bios of our guest speaker and worshippers. You will be tremendously blessed!
Just a reminder - special reunion classes this year are the “1s” and the “6s”:
1941, 1946, 1951, 1956, 1961, 1966 (50th Reunion!), 1971, 1976, 1981, 1986, 1991,
1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, and celebrating their one year reunion, the Class of 2015.
See you soon,
Tony Palow (‘92), Alumni President
