Jesus said, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." (John 6:35 NLT)
Today's meditation:
- Food is central to Christmas celebrations whether office parties, church dinners, or family gatherings. Turkeys and hams. Cakes and pies. Candies and cookies. Oh, that we would feed on Jesus and his Word as hungrily as we consume a Christmas feast.
- For a hunger for God across our campus in the New Year, for it to begin now and continue throughout the Christmas season as we seek the Bread of Life himself, for the Holy Spirit to lead us in our quest to know Jesus better and to fill our hungry souls with good things.
- 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:.
- 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.
- 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, constructing the Collins agricultural teaching/lab building, securing lead gifts to expand the dining hall and improve academic facilities, and for wisdom in fundraising, planning and implementation.
Pray First! Pray Through!
