Honors

On Feb. 16 a scholarship was presented to New Orleans Seminary in the name of R.H. Klaudt by the Klaudt Indian Memorial Foundation. The recipient of the scholarship was Juan Sali.

Klaudt was called into the ministry in the mid 1920’s on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, N.D. while in his early teens. He spent the first years of his ministry as an evangelist in and around the northwest area of North Dakota, riding horseback to his revival services.

In 1929, he married Lillian Little Soldier. Together they planted churches in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Colorado, Washington, and Nebraska. During their move south in the late 1940’s they pioneered churches in Louisiana, Illinois and Kentucky. Later Klaudt became the road manager for The Klaudt Indian Gospel Singers.

A fund raising concert for the Foundation was held at North Metro First Baptist Church in Lawrenceville and featured the Florida Boys Quartet and the Jody Brown Indian Family. For more information go to www.klaudtmemorial.com.
