After graduation, he told feliow studen!s he had a vision From God to start a church in St. Paul, Buckner said. The congregation was founded in 19:9, and a church building con- structed in 1960 at 247 N, Grotto St. Battle paid o:f the church mortgage bn his 69th birthday in 1990. "This is the happiest day Pve lived," he said at the time. "I've never seen a happier day." In 1989, $attle fasted to bring attention to the problem of crime and drugs among poung people and to raise money for the Insti- tute of Learning, which he founded in St. Paul to provide youths an alternative to street life and drugs. .`'I just cadt stand it anymore," he said. "I'm not going to eat until I raise an alarm. 1Ve've been fight- ing drugs five , yezrs, and it's w'orse today. �Ge can't have any rnore shooting;.
