Update from the President:
I found this passage encouraging in my daily Bible reading and hope it will be to you as well:
“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not go weary; they will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40: 29-31
We are praying for all who are dealing with the storm to be strengthened by His presence, provision, and power.
Speaking of power, once power is on we will be able to bring back students to the campus 48 hours later with full food service. Classes would then start two days later. This is reflected in the previous tentative schedule we sent. It was based on power being restored on Sunday. We will continue to give updates on the power restoration as we receive them.
One question concerning the schedule previously sent was about the Friday meeting of the Monday/Wednesday classes. That would just be a one time occurrence. The following week all would go back to the regular schedule with the exception of a one week extension of semester.
We are seeing great progress on the campus. The roofers are laying felt down to provide protection for damaged roofs in case of rain and to prepare for the shingles to be installed
We are trying to make sure all of our students, faculty, and staff are in a situation where they are safe and have the needed essentials. Please let us know if there is a need that we can try to help meet.
Trusting God with You,
Steve Echols
