New Students

We have had our first two applicants today. The first classes we will offer will be Greek and Apologetics. We plan on having Syllabi up within the next few days. For those interested in applying, the application link on the website is currently linked to a first draft of the application. The final draft is here. These classes will probably be offered over the Spring of 2008 with a full roster of classes opening in the fall. We have not yet found a place to have the class, so please pray for guidance as we look at our options.

RTP

Tonight Revival Theology Promotion had a board meeting where they officially voted to move the headquarters out here to Idaho. We discussed different ways that ACC and RTP can partner together. We also discussed what works of revival we want to do, including a reprint of Gordon Olson's Manual.

Revival Theology Promotions

Randall Davis recently went on a trip to pick up books owned by Revival Theology Promotions (RTP). This week, RTP is moving its headquarters from Minnesota to southern Idaho. RTP is an organization which produces and reproduces works on revival, for the use of those in ministry. Over the next two days we plan on getting RTP's website up and running. We also plan on opening lines of communication with both donors and recipients of the works by RTP when it was based in Minnesota. RTP will be independent of ACC, with its own board, and with volunteer staff provided by ACC. All the money received for RTP will be used to produce the works of Gordon Olson, Charles Finney and others.

We are continuing to gather pledges for ACC. A West Point Cadet has pledged to support the college on a monthly basis. We have been talking to a Public School teacher ready to retire who desires to work with the college and to do Spanish ministry with us and with Revival Theology Promotions. We want to have 70 more people committed to pray and donate $1000 on a monthly basis in the next few weeks. We are also working on dad's theological writings, on mom's dissertation, and on paperwork for ACC. Diane Davis has received a go ahead for chapter 1 of her dissertation and has handed in chapter 2. She is now working on chapter 3.

Prayer

We spent some time in prayer today, seeking God's guidance as we work towards His goal for education in southern Idaho. We commit to continuing prayer and a renewing of our minds as we lean on Him, trusting Him to provide our daily needs and the daily needs of the college. We seek to honor Him, bringing a renewed passion for knowing Him to this area.

Merry Christmas

Mom and I played at a Christmas Eve service tonight. One of the pastors, a Godly man named Peter recommitted to pray and support us regularly as we work on the college. Then we went to another service with the rest of the family. God is doing little miracles each day, giving us the strength to continue. Here is a recipe for a stir fry, a family Christmas Eve tradition:


Peanut chicken pasta

Sauce and marinade
8 Tbsp. Lime juice
4 Tbsp. Reduced sodium soy sauce

2 teas. Sesame oil
12 Tbsp. Peanut butter
5 teas. Minced fresh gingerroot
5 teas. Grated lime peel
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teas. Salt
½ teas. Pepper

Combine ingredients together in a blender. Cover and process until blended. Slice 1 breast for 2 people. Reserve the marinade.

Heat wok. Put 1 Tbsp. Oil in wok, place chicken in wok. Fry until no longer pink.

16 ounces linguine
(or some other long noodle such as
fettucine, spaghetti, etc.)
4 cups chopped fresh broccoli
In a large saucepan, cook noodles according to package directions, adding broccoli during the last 5 minutes. Cook until tender, drain.

2 medium sweet red peppers, thinly sliced

Christmas Letter

Mom and Dad have almost finished sending out a personal letter to people who have supported them in the past. As soon as I figure out how to load a letter onto the internet I will post a link. There is some tension here as we realize that there is alot of work to be done to start Albion Christian College. Please continue to pray for us.

Dad and I are continuing to work on getting out Christmas letters and newsletters to various people. We are also looking at different ministries which we are moving from Minneapolis and Chicago areas here to Idaho.

My mom received an $1,000 check for the college today as well. We are excited as God keeps confirming His guiding hand as we work on the college.

Please continue to pray for us as we move forward with the burden God has lain on our hearts for a center of Christian learning here in Southern Idaho.

Christmas

I am freshly arrived from Canada where I have finished my schooling.
We are currently doing a campaign to raise pledges for money and for prayer for the college. This entails alot of emailing and writing and calling. Dad and I are both working full time on getting the college off the ground. There is alot of work to do: if you have not yet, please pledge here.
My mom called a local pastor to offer our musical talents for a Christmas eve service, he pledged to pray and he asked us to come give a presentation for the church on the college in January. God is moving and people are excited to see what He is doing!
