For the Future

It was by faith that Isaac promised blessings for the future to his sons, Jacob and Esau. (Hebrews 11:20 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• Our faith secures the promised blessings for the future, especially for the next generations to come who need to develop their faith for their future and for the kingdom of God.

Pray today:

• For the prospective students who are gathering this weekend on campus for Founders Preview, for them to seek God's will regarding their college choice, for many of them to sense their place at Emmanuel.
• For our recruiting staff to manage well the events of the weekend, for them to answer questions, lead in programs, guide worship events, and pray for these potential students.

Our prayers make a difference in our outcomes. Please continue to pray over the list below that focuses on key needs at Emmanuel College.
