Hello from Hanover! As many of you know, the Dartmouth academic calendar is different than most schools. Winter term classes began on January 4th so we are well underway with life and ministry. The start of a new year and a new term always bring renewed energy and enthusiasm. It’s always a delight to have the campus filled with students and bursting with activity. The rhythms of Bible courses, daily prayer, social events, Leadership Lecture Series, and one-on-one mentorship are well established and are serving to challenge and encourage the students this term. Join me in praying for these items:
Pray for a continued ability to be flexible. We are still navigating changing Covid policies and practices which create logistical difficulties for meetings and gatherings. Pray that our patience would abound as we juggle our events and adjust our calendars.
Pray for a greater heart for evangelism. There is no other solution to sin and broken relationships than the gospel and it's the message our campus needs to hear. Pray that our hearts would be grieved for the lost and that would spur us to action.
Pray for our Bible courses that they would be rich times of both fellowship and instruction. It’s a blessing to have volunteer leaders, Margo Brown ’17 and India Perdue ’19, helping with the teaching load this term. My hope is that students will take what they are learning and seeing in Scripture and fully apply it to their lives here on campus.
May the God that we love and serve fill you with hope this new year. Thank you for your partnership in the gospel here at Dartmouth. I am encouraged by your faithfulness, generosity, and prayers.
