Your Gift

If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously . . . And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. (Romans 12:8 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• Spiritual gifts? Yes, we all have at least one or two. The sobering question is: Do we let our gifts decay or do we give them away?

Pray today:

• For our students, staff, and faculty to discover and use their God-given gifts to reach the world for Jesus, for us to focus on others who may be discouraged, helpless, and oppressed, for us to bring the love of Jesus to them through the ministry of the Word and the passion of our hearts to relieve human suffering. 

Pray for the top three needs of Emmanuel College:

• To hear the Word of the Lord regarding life after debt and our vision for an expanded mission for 2018 and beyond.
• To enroll more than 1000 students in August 2019.
• To continue reducing our debt over the next five years with the purpose of becoming debt-free.

Pray for upcoming events and activities:.

• General chapel services on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. and on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. and School of Christian Ministries chapel services on Thursdays at 11 a.m.
• Vision 4 Education Celebration sponsored by Women's Ministries, October 5.
• Board of Trustees Meeting, October 5-6.
• Homecoming Weekend, October 19-21.
• Fall Preview recruiting event, November 2-4.

Pray First! Pray Through!
