Fasting and Praying

There was a very old prophet, a widow named Anna . . . She never left the Temple; day and night she worshiped God, fasting and praying. That very same hour she arrived and gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were waiting for God to set Jerusalem free. (Luke 2:36-37 GNB)

Today's meditation:
  • How often shall we pray in 2019? Without ceasing, of course. And how often shall we fast? As long as there are chains to break, oppression to dispel, evil to overcome.
Pray today:
  • For much praying and fasting in 2019 for Emmanuel College - praying and fasting for more of our students to be committed to Christ, for more of them to lead a life of service, for more of them to be called to full-time Christian ministry.
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.
  • Successful recruiting at Accelerant in Gatlinburg, TN, January 31-February 3, 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!
