Week of Prayer-Anna Deckert

For the second meeting of Week of Prayer, a senior, Anna Deckert, spook about the changes Mary Magdelene went through in her life and how when you’re the furthest from God is when you realize you need Him the most!  Mary had demons, but she was washed clean of her sins by Jesus, we can be clean too.

Week of Prayer - Jared Glendrange

Jared kicked off this student Week of Prayer with a great talk about Samson. He shared his testimony with us and giving examples through his testimony on how God would not give up on him no matter how far he was away from Him, God still wanted him. With God, all things are possible. Like the story of Samson, God will give us strength.

Food Distribution

On January 10, 2011, several students went out to help with the MAC-NAPS program. MAC-NAPS means, "Mother and Children Program" and "Nutrition Assistance Program for Seniors." Our students mainly just work on the Nutrition Assistance Program for Seniors. It happens every second Monday of the month. Students enjoy helping these people by delivering food to their door-step and are glad to be able to do this ministry for them.

Operation Global Rain

Every night at 7:00 pm from January 5-15, our students will be gathering together for prayer as a part of Operation Global Rain.  This program comes out of the General Conference and is a ten-day worldwide prayer for revival and reformation.  Each night our students and fellow Christians around the world are praying for specific topics such as a forgiving spirit, victory in sin in our lives, a deep devotional life and for a boldness to act for Jesus Christ.  Imagine thousands of churches and schools in every conference, union, and division praying at the same time for the same thing.  This is a great way to lead the way for next week's Student Week of Prayer!
