Run to Win

Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. (1 Corinthians 9:24-25 NLT)

Day 15 of 21 days of prayer

Today's prayer topics:

• Pray for Nate Moorman, Director of Athletics, and his coaches and staff who manage our athletic programs and support our athletes.
• Pray for our coaches to provide Godly examples of Christian living in their actions and to inspire their players to strive more for the eternal prize than earthly ones.
• Pray for our athletes to discipline themselves physically to become exceptional athletes and to discipline themselves spiritually to become exceptional people.
• Pray for revival to sweep through our athletes such that they become emissaries for Jesus on every field, court, track and place of competition, to be winners on the field of play, but more importantly, to be winners of souls.

Thank you for praying.

Answered prayers:

• After a difficult start, we prayed to pass the first year of the NCAA membership process. God helped us and we successfully moved to year two. Pray for Emmanuel College to complete year two successfully this summer and to move to the third and final year. Pray the entire process is completed in the summer of 2017 with full membership in NCAA Division 2.

Never give up unless its praise we give up to God; never give in except to give in to him.
