26 November 2013 Prayer Update

Dear Prayer Partner,

BOT Meeting
The SPNTC Board of Trustees meeting held last week was a success in every way. We arrived home yesterday very tired and went to bed early.  Our meeting with the IBOE was very encouraging.  The IBOE members complemented our school and we also have some areas where we need to improve.  Working through the self study was very good as we could reflect on the things we do well and also on those items that need more attention.  One of the very positive things from this BOT is that we are becoming more unified, as one college, instead of being a loose affiliation of four independent campuses under one umbrella.  Before it seemed like we were each doing our own thing, but now their is a tremendous cooperation and the tremendous energy that generates.  Continue to pray for the South Pacific Nazarene Theological College.

District Assembly (DA)
Please Join me in prayer for the DA and training meetings coming up (Nov 29 - Dec 7).  We are in a spiritual warfare.  I really need you to bathe this in prayer.  We had this BOT meeting which was awesome but now I am not ready for the DA.  I did some work on my lessons while in Nadi but not nearly enough.  There have been many interruptions and things affecting our preparation for assembly.  We need a spiritual breakthrough, which will come as a result of your prayers.  PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!  Pray for DS Gabriel Kaula from PNG, Rev. Mark Louw, Regional Director, and Rev. Harmon Schmelzenbach, Field Strategy Coordinator, as they attend and this assembly.

Honiara Zion Church:
Pray for the Zion Church as they are having a pastoral vote on Sunday.

Bible College Class:
Looking ahead to 2014 please be in prayer for our February Block Classes.  I, George, will be teaching Theology 3 [The Holy Spirit and the Church] an intensive class from 5-11 February.  Then we have a guest teacher, Herb Ireland will teach two classes from Feb 12-28.  His two courses will be New Testament Survey and Doctrine of Holiness.  You will hear more about this as time approaches.
