Dear Prayer Partners,
We are finishing Romans 5 today in our class on Romans. We are thinking of the reign of grace. Sin and death ruled as dictator over the entire human race until God brought salvation to mankind in Jesus Christ. Because of that work, our Father is now able to act in His grace towards us. The grace of God now reigns in a superabundant way. The kingdom of God is now powerfully coming to pass on this earth.
We are grateful to have a small part in God’s vast work. We are also thankful for all of you who have included EI in your work for the kingdom through prayer.
We appreciate your prayers as we moved our program to a semester teaching system. While the classes remain the same, this change makes it simpler for students to transfer credits for their EI classes. The new system is working well. Thank you.
We would ask you to pray at this time for three specific matters. The first has to do with students for next year. We do not want to get ahead of ourselves, but many young people are already beginning to consider studies for next year. Pray that our recruiting efforts will reach the right people. This month, we will have Teen Training Days to allow high schoolers an opportunity to experience EI. Please pray as we host these prospective students.
Second, this is the cold and flu season. Pray for all of us, staff and students. Pray particularly that the inevitable bouts of illness will not become disruptive to the schedule.
Third, and most importantly, pray for the students who are being saturated with the Word. Only the Spirit of God can make this a permanent part of their beings. Pray for teachers and staff to be daily filled with the Spirit. And then, pray that students will see clearly what God has said and be enabled by the Spirit to work out truth in faith and love.
Thank you for all those who have been praying for Michael Garreau as he has taught on Monday nights concerning the role of suffering in the Christian life. If you have not been following this series, I strongly urge you to listen to these most helpful messages.
Now, may the Lord bless you in every way as you seek to serve Him. In these confused days, may His peace and joy flood your hearts.
In Our Lord,
Art Nuernberg
