Praise the Lord for the closing of a wonderful fall term at Dartmouth. We ended the semester with our annual Thanksgiving dinner, which the freshmen (‘21s) did a fantastic job planning and putting on. We enjoyed delicious food and fellowship, but I have to say the highlight of the evening was hearing the testimonies of three ‘21s. They each opened up about a difficulty or sin struggle in their past and how the Lord used it to grow them in their faith. The final testimony included a very clear and powerful gospel presentation, which brought tears to my eyes and thanksgiving to my heart. Join me in praising God for His powerful and intricate work in the students’ lives and for the ways He is using hardship to mature them in the gospel.
We are currently in the middle of our long winter break and the students don’t return till after New Year’s, so please pray that they would continue to grow in their love for the Lord and His Word, even though they are away from their Christian Union community. Please also pray for the staff as we prepare to lead our Winter Conference coming up in the beginning of January. Pray for many students to come, for new relationships to begin, and that they would leave with a deeper desire to know God and make Him known.
Thank you for your prayers! Blessings to you and your family during this joyful season!
Merry Christmas!
