Consecrated to the Lord

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord"). (Luke 2:22-23 NIV)

Today's meditation:
  • One hundred years ago, Emmanuel College was birthed as Franklin Springs Institute and was consecrated to the Lord. Generations of students have been educated and inspired by hundreds of dedicated staff and faculty. Our students and graduates have contributed to the world through a myriad of careers and ministries. And today, with God's help, we continue.
Pray today:
  • For the expansion of the mission and ministry of Emmanuel College in 2019, for greater effectiveness in teaching and mentoring our students, for increasing support and resources to meet the challenges of delivering Christian higher education in the 21st Century.
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 2019 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:.
  • Spring Semester enrollment in January 2019 to exceed expectations because of better retention and larger numbers of new students, and for a total enrollment of 900 or more.
  • New Beginnings Spiritual Emphasis, January 10-13, 2019.
  • Scholars' Day recruiting events on campus in February 2019.
  • Spring Preview recruiting event on campus, March 22-24, 2019.
  • 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, construction of the Collins agricultural teaching/lab building, obtaining lead gifts to expand the dining hall and improve academic facilities, and for wisdom in fundraising, planning, and implementation. 
Pray First! Pray Through!
