Today's meditation:
- Many people travel during the Christmas season. Some jet across the country. Others drive a few miles. Joseph and Mary were the first to do Christmas travel. Their 90-mile journey by foot and by donkey would be like driving from coast to coast today, at least 3 days. Why do we do it? To be with family. Joseph with his father's family of David. Others of us gather with our mother's family. But no one has ever traveled farther at Christmas to be with family than Jesus.
- For safe travels for our students, some of whom will jet across the world to other continents.
- For our faculty and staff who travel during Christmas.
- For the Emmanuel family to enjoy the Christmas season, safe and peaceful, and to gather again in January for a New Year filled with hope and opportunities.
- 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!
