Dr. Benny Charles Aker

Such a loving and prayerful man of God and sweet uncle!

Brother Aker was a true man of God that pursued His heart daily. His example was followed by many students at CBC. He was one in a million. He always had time for students. His wife Barbara was an elegant, gracious lady. Her kind words and smile could make your day. He will be greatly missed by many.Until we meet again.

I want to add my voice to all of those who have been inspired and impacted by Dr. Benny Aker.

I arrived on the campus of Central Bible College just weeks after graduating from high school.

From the moment I connected with Dr. Aker, I knew that his presence on campus was a gift. His teaching had a profound impact on me, and his numerous conversations were truly inspiring.

He shaped the lives of many and loved us as his own. His was a life well-lived.

Giving honor to whom honor is due,

I have wonderful memories of Ben. He taught me Greek, homiletics, and theology in the 1970s that I still use today. He was very patient with me and encouraged me when I needed it.

I have good memories of my two years in Welch Hall (fall '68-spring '70) when Dr. Aker was supervisor of the dorm. Firm but soft-spoken, he earned our respect and admiration.
