A few months ago when we mentioned that EBS was in trouble with not enough visiting professors, NorthRidge wrote right away and said, "How about Chris?" So Pastor Chris, along with Jason and Jess, is on the way today, prepared to start teaching tomorrow! What an answer to prayer...
Matt also started a new first year course today, and like always, was concerned about how much work teaching a new course is all the past week, and then had a blast today! "I love teaching!" he announced bounding through the door at noon today, and I thanked the Lord again that He matches calling with passion.
Meanwhile, Don, alongside of a Maxi, Abel, Augustin and Magloire, is finishing the big sidewalk project this afternoon, though the sun is boiling! (or maybe that's just "gigantically pregnant" speaking).
The only damper on the weekend was an increasingly critical and heart-breaking struggle within the Saccanville church. We'd like to continue to ask for your prayers for this very divided and dwindling group of believers, for wisdom and His great help in knowing what to do and how as a Seminary and as Saccanvillians and as part of His body, and for revival.
When we arrived in the service yesterday, we truly questioned whether the church was aware of the fact that it was Easter! Discouraging weeks of power-struggle, changes in leadership and hurt-feelings resulted in a service that felt a lot like a funeral, void of any genuine praise, celebration, joy or Biblical study...
Please be praying with us.
