As the first quarter comes to a close in Denver, we are setting our sites on the next quarter and the classes needed to help develop students in preparation for preaching the gospel. There is always an eager anticipation of the future, both in and out of the classroom. Students will leave later this week for campaigns in several locations around the country. We will share reports about their activities and the impending results in the weeks ahead.
The next quarter will also be the final quarter of studies for two men and their families. Brad and Gretchen Toy (Sarah and Katie), along with Chris and Alicia Krotz (Ava, Angelina, Gabriel, Sophia) will finish their studies in December and enter the ministry. Please be praying for them as they complete their studies these next few months and begin full-time ministry.
The Extension Program continues to show the blessing of God as students are changing lives for the Lord’s kingdom. The reports emphasize God’s providential care and increase as students in Cameroon traveled on campaign to 25 locations. Students in Ghana returned for their second quarter of studies and Tony Johnson has been involved in extensive evangelism in several countries of West Africa. The second group of students graduated in Nepal, the need for the gospel grows in Chimala, a lectureship in Nigeria continues to strengthen the church, and graduates from Arusha are influencing the kingdom in Tanzania and into Congo.
This information is so exciting, I hope you will dig into the reports and envision in your mind’s eye the glorious ways God is working through His people around the world. You are making a difference globally. How awesome is that?
