Great Things

"For the Mighty One has done great things for me - holy is his name." (Luke 1:49 NIV)

Today's meditation:

• Count your blessings this Christmas! Regardless of your personal circumstances, the greatest blessing is to know Jesus and to submit to his plan. Mary did. Despite the challenges she faced, the world became a better place because of her obedience.

Pray today:

• For all who love Emmanuel College to rejoice this Christmas over the great things God has done for us this year, for us to joyfully submit to his plan for Emmanuel in the year to come and the ones that follow, for the world to become a better place because of our obedience.

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.
• 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.
