Bittersweet Event … Again

May 24, 2022

It’s that time of year … again … to say, “good-bye” to our students who are seniors. We are happy for them but sad for us. We are thankful for the “season” that God has allowed us to have with these students. It’s definitely a worthwhile journey … and … one that is not over. […]

Thank you for praying! Ned made it home and it felt like a miracle! He actually tested positive AGAIN for COVID before his first international trip coming home.

Is It Spring Yet?

March 19, 2022

Did someone say “Spring”? The temperature has dropped twenty degrees, we have rain and horrible winds, and sleet and snow are predicted this weekend. Could this really be “Spring? Maybe! Many students and staff have already left for “break” but for those of us who stay on campus there will be some ministries that need […]
