                                    Give me a helping hand, for I have chosen to follow your commandments. (Psalm 119:173 NLT)

                                    Pray today for more resources to repair and improve campus facilities. This spring we have had more than our usual share of breakdowns and equipment failures.

                                                      Confidently Trust

                                                      They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. (Psalm 112:7 NLT)

                                                      Give thanks for answered prayers: 
                                                      We prayed for Jacob Saulnier, the student battling cancer, and yesterday he walked across the stage during Commencement and received his bachelor's degree despite extreme challenges these last few months. Thank God.

                                                      Pray for Jacob to be healed and cancer free. Psalm 112:7 is a perfect description of Jacob's response to his illness. His confident trust in God is evident to all who are around him and his positive attitude in the face of great adversity is a powerful testimony.

For the last two weeks, he has made remarkable progress in rehab. He is walking and improving his strength and is exhibiting excellent brain function. This is miraculous progress. Thank you for praying.
