Please join me in praying for one another and for our unity in the Spirit! I'm prayerful for each of you individually as well as for us as a group of Directors seeking to serve in Christ's name this upcoming year. Let's pray for unity in Christ as we embark on discipling families and students this year! What are essential ingredients in our lives for this work to be accomplished? Our unity is essential because it is one of the great evidences to a watching world that we are followers of our victorious, risen Lord!

We are doing ministry together as we serve families, and we beseech Christ to be at the center of what we do and for us to be communities which are united in the essentials of our faith. We are excited to celebrate our nation's Independence Day! I'm thankful for our many freedoms, fought and paid with the lives of our predecessors who fought in the war for independence. May and June have been a whirlwind of wrapping up our academic year, looking back and reflecting on the past year, and preparing for our upcoming year! I'm hopeful that July will be a month of restful preparation for you and your family!
