In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a village in Galilee, to a virgin name Mary . . . Gabriel appeared to her and said, "Greetings, favored woman!The Lord is with you!" (Luke 1:26-28 NLT)
Today's meditation:
- Isaiah prophesied about an obscure virgin. To us, she has a name - Mary. But the purpose of it all was to bring God close so he could be with us, really with us, up close and personal, living in us. Hallelujah! The Lord is come! Emmanuel - our God with us!
- For the leadership of Emmanuel College, the Board of Trustees and administration, to draw close to our God who is with us, to understand his every wish and desire for the College, and to follow him precisely and obey him completely.
- 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!
