Jones, Campbellsville, KY; and Micah Spicer, Wingo, KY By Elena Groholske News from Campbellsville University CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - For the ninth year in a row, Campbellsville University has awarded the prestigious Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award. "Sullivan was a lawyer, devout Christian, mediator, powerful and appealing orator, a courageous citizen during perilous times, a noted philanthropist and a devoted family man," Dr. Michael V.

He has been awarded the honor of Campbellsville-Taylor County Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year twice. "Dr. Jones has a pastor's heart, a servant's humility and the passion of an evangelist and missionary," said Carter. "He is one of the fine pulpiteers of Southern Baptist life today. He has demonstrated servant leadership all of his life and continues to do so to this very day as he gives of himself in service to his Lord, his family and his community." He and his wife, Martha, have three children: Angela, Darlene and Byron, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
