Terrell pastor receives honor from Southern Bible Institute

Published: Friday, April 17, 2009 12:35 PM CDT
The Rev. Allarry Daniels of Shiloh Baptist Church in Terrell will be among more than 30 pastors who will be honored at the Southern Bible Institute Gala Banquet on May 1 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas.

The banquet celebrates the Institute’s 82 years of building foundations for hundreds of churches and ministries. The celebration also will include a student graduation on May 3 at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, 301 W. Sanford St. in Arlington.

The Reverend C.B.T. Smith, pastor Emeritus to Golden Gate Missionary Baptist Church in Dallas, will be the keynote speaker at the gala. Smith, who served as the church’s pastor for more than 44 years, and held offices in district, state and national religious organizations, will speak on the theme “The Power of One.”

“These pastors have supported the legacy of Southern Bible over the years while working 24/7 for their church and community,” said Dr. Martin Hawkins, President of Southern Bible Institute. “They have seen the value of not only supporting SBI financially but also sending hundreds of men and women who have been called into ministry to study the bible at SBI.”

Beverly Crawford is the guest psalmist for the evening. She is the First Lady of the Gainesville Family Worship Center in Gainesville, Florida.

Dr. Haddon Robinson is the guest speaker for the graduation ceremony on May 3. Dr. Robinson is the Senior Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program at the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Charlotte, N.C. A Baylor University poll named him one of the “12 Most Effective Preachers in the English Speaking World.”

Southern Bible Institute is not only a legacy in the religious community it has become a tradition in some religious families. Five members the Reverend George W. Pryor family are graduates of Southern Bible Institute. Rev. Pryor was attending SBI in 1964 when he started New Birth Baptist Church in Dallas.

“I have sent 120 sons in the ministry to Southern Bible over the years,” said Rev. Pryor. “It has a legacy for raising up preachers and ministry leaders by providing excellent biblical truth and interpretation of the Bible.”


Rev. Pryor’s two sons graduated from SBI; Rev. Darrell W. Pryor, pastor of the New Covenant Baptist Church in DeSoto and Rev. Michael D. Pryor, pastor of the Third Avenue Missionary Baptist Church in Dallas; as well as George’s wife, Alma Jewell Pryor who built the children’s ministry at New Birth and his daughter Pamela Pryor Myers who is the musician for the JI and Angels choirs at New Birth. “Southern Bible Institute gave me the biblical training I needed to counsel, teach and shepherd the flock in my church so our church could continue to grow numerically, financially and spiritually,” Pryor said.
