Today we observe the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, honoring the man who steered a civil-rights movement that pushed America toward a more just and equal society.  King and his followers were opposed to racial discrimination and fought courageously to promote tolerance.  His birthday has become day of service across the country, to recognize the many ways that he gave back to his community throughout his life. Celebrate his memory by attending one of the many events all around the country.  Click here to find out more.

Meet Savanna, Our Honorary Doctor of the Month

From all of us at Los Angeles Development Church & Institute, may the miracle of Christmas find you safe in the Peace of God and warm in the Light of Christ.  

Always give thanks with a grateful heart...

Thanksgiving is a great opportunity to stop for a moment and reflect upon our blessings with family and friends.  Your business, partnership, support, and friendship mean the world to us, and we would like to express our gratitude with a special offer.  

Many of you who hold honorary degrees from our institute are involved in humanitarian and volunteer work.  Whether it's helping out at-risk youth in your neighborhood, or travelling to Nepal to assist people affected by the earthquake, or even helping a friend or family member through a difficult time--your compassion and dedication does not go unnoticed, and deserves recognition and honor. 

Or you may have been on the receiving end of help this year.  Was there someone in your life--a parent, a teacher, a mentor, a friend, or another individual who supported you with their time and encouragement?  Show them your gratitude with a unique token of appreciation--an honorary doctoral degree.  

And because you enable us to do what we love every day, this Thanksgiving holiday we are giving you a chance to receive TWO HONORARY DEGREES WHEN YOU DONATE FOR ONE!  Receive one for yourself and one for somebody special in your life.  Or get them both for yourself in different disciplines, or both for people you would like to thank.  It's up to you!
