    Dr. Hank Williams was the featured Spiritual Emphasis Week speaker. He is senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Boiling Springs, S.C., and is also a Southern Wesleyan alumnus. Jamin, who is Dr. Connor’s son, is a senior from Central majoring in business. Dr. Connor coached Williams when he played on the Warriors Soccer Team. Spiritual Emphasis Week took place Jan. 21-26 at Southern Wesleyan University.  

    Williams urged students gathered at Newton Hobson Auditorium to resist temptations found in the popular culture and to become the generation of a new spiritual awakening. The focus of Williams’ ministry is two-fold: reaching young people for Christ and reuniting families in Christ.
