A large set of books on prayer has become part of the growing number of resources offered at North Greenville University’s Hester Memorial Library.


NGU’s dear friends Dr. Charles “Buddy” Freeman and his wife, Dr. Gayla Freeman, have donated over 1,000 books that focus on the topic of prayer to the library at NGU’s Tigerville Campus.


Authors in the donated collection — which Buddy began in the 1980s — include Dr. Henry Blackaby, Dr. Ken Hemphill, and Dr. Jack Taylor, among others.


Buddy believes that the appropriate place for this prayer library is NGU, where the books are available for students, faculty and staff, and others who use the university library to check out.


As he continues to collect books on prayer, Buddy plans to continue donating them to the university. His desire is that others would learn about the importance of prayer, just as he has over the years, by reading the books in his collection.


“I’m so happy to present this collection to North Greenville University, because I love this school,” Buddy said at the dedication ceremony for the new prayer section in NGU’s library, held on Nov. 28, 2017.


Buddy first came to North Greenville in 1997 as executive director for admissions and financial planning. During his tenure, he organized the Christian Ministry Scholarship Fund (CMSF), a scholarship endowment that benefits needy and deserving NGU students called to be pastors, missionaries, ministers, or teachers.

After his retirement in 2007, he returned to NGU in 2011 for two years, working to further advance the CMSF.


“Te 10 or 11 years I was here, [NGU] helped me to become a better person,” Buddy says.


Te new prayer collection he donated to NGU last fall is located at the front entrance of Hester Memorial Library, next to the Miller Bible Museum.


“I’m really excited about having this [collection] in our location as a reminder to pray with expectation,” NGU President Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr., said at the dedication ceremony. “[I] look forward to seeing how it can influence our students and faculty for the next generation.”
