Ecclesiastes 3:2 “…a time to
be born…” As the ninth of fourteen children to Elloise and the late LaSalle
Hankins little Al was born November 19th. Growing up on a big farm has taught
him many lessons that benefit him today. He took care of chickens like David
took care of sheep. Having five sisters and eight brothers, little Al learned as
a boy to love, to share and to make the best of what one has. Far from being
spoiled as a child, he learned to be grateful and to say yes ma’am and no ma’am,
yes sir and no sir.
Ecclesiastes 3:7 “…a time to
speak…” Elder Alcindor Hankins is most noted as a teacher of the Word. He speaks

still and know that he is God. Elder Hankins preached his first sermon in
November 1993. Since then, the Lord as opened many doors near and far. By the
grace of God, Elder Hankins has victoriously crossed over several denominations.

blessings.

all age groups. He is able to combine a spiritual lesson within humor that does
not debase either. “Pastor Lenwood V. Long Sr., New Bethel Baptist Church,
