Wonderful Counselor

For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor. . . (Isaiah 9:6 NIV)

Today's meditation:

• If the evidence is stacked against us, good legal counsel is needed if we hope to be exonerated. However, the human race is guilty, that is, until the Wonderful Counselor came along offering to expunge our records with his own blood. Too wonderful for words!

Pray today:

• For the words of Jesus to advise and lead us in everything we do:
• love God and love your neighbor
• have everlasting life and life more abundant
• give and forgive
• go and sin no more
• go and do likewise; serve the least of these
• go into all the world and share the Gospel.

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.
