Today, Wilberforce University welcomes many of America's poorest and most underserved populations and transforms their educational dreams into realities.

Do not try to make the Bible relevant. Its relevance is axiomatic. Do not defend God's word, but testify to it. Trust to the Word. It is a ship loaded to the very limits of its capacity. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer

It was not apathy or passiveness. For him, prayer was a display of the strongest possible activity.
