This is the final week of preparation for the new class beginning in Denver. The last few students will be arriving this week as orientation will be held on Friday. Watching the faces of incoming freshman as they wonder in anticipation to what the following week will bring is exciting. Somehow, no matter what is said, there is just no way to adequately prepare for the intensity of the course work they will be involved with over the next two years.
The Extension news is also exciting as students continue their studies in preparation for work in the kingdom on a global level. One report this week shares how some students are only two months away from graduation. Another report speaks of the work graduates are involved with in their country. Others report about the way God has given the increase to their efforts while they are in school and reaching out through evangelistic efforts to bring souls to Christ.
When it is all said and done, the work of Bear Valley in Denver, and the brethren we are privileged to participate with in Extension Training, is an awesome program. We are so blessed to serve a great God, and we are thankful for the opportunity to work side by side with the greatest people on earth.
Now on to the other reports...
