Give

Give in proportion to what you have. Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you don't have. (2 Corinthians 8:11b-12 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• May we offer our earthly resources to the Lord and give to his work as he directs.

Pray today:

• For success in securing lead gifts to improve academic facilities especially for the kinesiology and music departments, for increases in revenue and funding to provide additional faculty in critical areas.
• For success in aligning the interests of benefactors with the needs of Emmanuel College, for increased knowledge and skills in donor relationships and development, for guidance by the Holy Spirit in discerning direction and decision-making.

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.
• Fall Preview recruiting event, November 2-4.
• Spring Semester enrollment in January 2019 to exceed expectations because of better retention, larger numbers of new students, and a total enrollment of 900 or more.
• EC Serve trips for 2019 in the planning stages to Alaska, Appalachia, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Myanmar, and Panama.
• For special projects to begin in 2019 to construct and remodel facilities debt-free including improvements to Wellons Residence Hall, constructing the Collins agricultural teaching/lab building, and securing a lead gift to expand the dining hall, for wisdom in fundraising, planning and implementation. 

Pray First! Pray Through!
