Bynum, who has served as an ordained Elder for over forty years, had the following to say about being a Battling Bishop. "I loved the academics, interfaith worship and the family atmosphere."

Jack Bynum has an inspirational story to tell as he shares his successes since he has left NC Wesleyan College. "I am grateful for every success and blessing, but the one that brings me the greatest joy is my family. I have been visually impaired (zero vision) since 2008. In 2007, I graduated from the School of Theology of Virginia Union University (Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology) with a Master of Divinity Degree. I have been privileged to travel in four continents (Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America). After my vision loss, I took training through Vocational Rehabilitation and learned to read braille. Afterwards, I took numerous classes through the Hadley Institute for the Blind. Currently, I am working on three books."
