Today's meditation:
- "He told me, coming home, that he hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember upon Christmas Day, who made lame beggars walk, and blind men see." (Bob Cratchit quoting Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens).
- For the ministries of Emmanuel College to be empowered by the Holy Spirit in the New Year, for us to be effective in reaching those who are bound, blind, and oppressed but do not know it, for us to successfully proclaim good news to those who rarely hear any.
- For 2019, the College's Centennial Year, to be a year when we, students and employees of Emmanuel College, both share and receive the Lord's favor.
- 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!
