Junior Archer

About the Musicians

Born in the Island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, Junior Archer obtained his higher education in the field of business from Caribbean Union College (now University of the Southern Caribbean) and Andrews University in Michigan. He recalls that at an early age his father sentenced him to sing in the church choir, which he did not appreciate. But as he grew up singing became his great pleasure. In 1967, along with a younger brother and two cousins, the Archers Quartette was born with Junior being a steady anchor as they responded to demand to sing throughout the island for church services and meetings led by local and renowned American evangelists. The quality of his solo pieces was of such that he was urged to enter the biennial National Music Festivals of Trinidad and Tobago in 1970 and, beginning in 1972, his successes at those festival resulted in his being widely recognized as one of the leading vocalists in the small nation. Between 1972 and his last solo performances in 2004 he captured over a dozen championship trophies in several classes including Oratorio, Lieder, Opera, and the Open Class. After entering Andrews University for advanced studies in 1977, though not a music major, his talent was instantly recognized. He was asked to do all the tenor solo parts for all the choral works performed by the University Singers a role he held throughout the five years of his association with the university choir from 1977 to 1982. Though now a senior role model, his enthusiasm for music has not diminished. One of his avocations is to assist choirs and soloists in their preparation to participate in the National Music Festivals. Another source of pleasure and privilege is the opportunity to present suitable music for worship services and other sacred occasions. He also leads Le Voix, a chorale group specializing in worship music that, with his new bride Genevieve, he helped establish in 2007. HANDS International is pleased to join with other sponsors and with the audience in welcoming to Loma Linda and the Inland Empire Mr. Junior Archer, brother, friend, colleague and gifted musical artist, to serve as the feature presenter in this sacred concert to the glory, not of himself or ourselves, but of our Divine Redeemer.

Santo Tomas University in Manila, completed his BM degree at Lynn University in Florida, and pursued advanced degrees at the Eastman School of Music and University of Rochester in New York. He is also a performing artist, having performed in voice and piano in Europe, America, several countries in Asia, as well as in his Philippines homeland where he now resides. He has been associate professor at Philippine Womens University and now serves on the faculty of both St. Paul University and Ateneo de Manila University. His father is one of the early founders of HANDS international. Welcome, Professor Coo.

Bridges Chorale

This chorale is a vocal ensemble that seeks to serve as a medium through which the redemptive calling of Christ can be conveyed, their passion being to sing to the theme of Gods unconditional love and amazing grace. The chorale seeks to open avenues of friendship and unity through the diversity of its repertoire, and it is this goal that inspired the creation of the name Bridges. Now in the twelfth year since its founding, the chorale has performed and been warmly received in churches from the south to the north of California. Members are from very diverse disciplines medicine, dental hygiene, medical technology, nursing, management, photography, computer technology and information systems, and many more. But they share a common calling to fostering the healing of persons and honor the giver of all good gifts through sacred music. We are pleased that this group of Filipino singers can join with our sponsors to demonstrate that the richness of individual cultures is given to share, that diversity of tradition can be truly bridged by grace, thereby creating a new all-inclusive community solidly built on faith in the name and for the honor of our Divine Redeemer.

Jonathan Arevalo Coo

Jonathan Arevalo Coo, who accompanies our featured soloist for the evening, cannot recall any time he was not surrounded by and infused with music. Along with his two siblings, all highly educated and skilled musicians, he probably inherited and imbibed it in utero through his mother who has lived and taught music all her life both in Asia and the United States. Jonathan is now an international educator, having graduated from Philippine High School for the Arts, studied voice at the distinguished

David Dudley

Dr. David Dudley, tenor singer, has sung extensively throughout Southern California. His oratorio performances are increasingly in demand. He has been featured with numerous chorale societies and regional symphonies, including the Southeast Symphony orchestra, the Riverside Master chorale, the Inland Arts Society, and the Bello Canto Chorale. One of the most versatile musician in the Inland Empire, Dr. Dudley is also an award-winning violinist. Like the other artists, he is a man of authentic faith who uses his gifts to the honor and glory of our Divine Redeemer.

A Special Tribute
Our mother left us two years ago with a great deal of joy through our grief. She was everything to us and to thousands throughout Central America:

Selfless Educator of the haves and of the have-nots. Mentor to the slow learner as well as to the brilliant. Reliable hostess of dignitaries and homeless wayfarer alike. She lived in a house by the side of the road and was a friend to all who passed by. Mammy of three good girls and mother to scores of others who ate at her table and slept under her roof. Forty years as principal of a vibrant mission school earned her national award. A model of consistency, dedication, competence and generosity.

THOUSANDS STILL RISE UP AND CALL HER BLESSED

ARTHUR GRAHAM MAXWELL

A Tribute of Gratitude
Distinguished gentleman of dignity and integrity Creative scholar and transformative theologian Author and teacher par excellence Mentor extraordinary of thousands in this community and world-wide Christian educator whose seminal words of wisdom shine a gentle light that dispel dark shadows along our journey of faith.
On Faith: Faith in God confidence that he exists, belief in the truthfulness of his word, and acceptance of his authority is not a leap in the dark. It is an intelligent and trusting response to enlightening evidence that appeals to the reason. And God never asks the intelligent members of his family to place the weight of their trust in him and fulfill his will above all else without providing solid evidence on which to base such supreme confidence. If we so choose, we will find hooks on which to hang our doubts; but enlightening evidence for intelligent faith is available in abundance. On the Bible: The Bible is not a code book of deeds to be done and sins to be shunned. As Jesus explained, the purpose of scripture is to bear witness to him, to reveal the truth about God, that men may be won to Him in faith. On Sin: The essence of sin is irresponsible and rebellious thinking. To persist in such perversion of the marvelous powers of the human mind is to ruin our ability to think at all. To persist in the careless handling of truth, in the dishonest manipulation of evidence, is to invite the eternal loss of our powers of discrimination. On the Good News: God is not the kind of person his enemies have made him out to be arbitrary, unforgiving and severe. . . Though infinite in majesty and power, our Creator is an equally gracious Person who values nothing higher than the freedom, dignity, and individuality of his intelligent creatures that their love, their faith, their willingness to listen and obey, may be freely given. He even prefers to regard us not as servants but as friends. . . This is the everlasting Good News that wins the trust and admiration of Gods loyal children throughout the university.

THANK YOU, DR. MAXWELL, FOR SPEAKING SO WELL AND SO TRULY ABOUT THE GOD WE ARE INVITED TO WORSHIP. YOU HAVE LED YOUR STUDENTS TOWARD A CLEARER PICTURE OF HIM, PROVIDING A BASIS FOR A FAITH THAT IS WELL-FOUNDED, RESILIENT, AND SECURE.
