Scholarship Needs

We have the opportunity to minister to Bhutanese refugees who have moved to Idaho after spending 18 years in a refugee camp in Nepal. Several of these people want to attend classes at ACC for training in ministry. This is a tremendous opportunity for the school to move forward with our mission, training students from every nation to think critically, examine God's word thoroughly, worship God whole heartedly and serve the church worldwide. Those of the Bhutanese who wish to attend classes and go back out on the mission field are going to be working full time to pay the US government for airfare over from Nepal as well as to live here in the US, so they need financial assistance to attend Albion Christian College. Keep them in your prayers and if God leads you to donate so that Deepac, Binod, Bize, or Moan can come to ACC, please donate on the donation page online and email weston.mccarron@albionchristian.com saying how much you donated and that it is for the refugee scholarship fund, or send a check to Albion Christian College, 146 10th Ave E, Jerome ID, 83338 and write on the memo line Refugee scholarship fund.

God bless each of you greatly with the knowledge of His love.

Doing the job God gives us

It is so easy, in times of economic turmoils and in times of personal revival, to look at others around us and say "Hey! you should change!" But, as my dad was reminding one of our students, we must do the work God has given us. I must take this to heart because it is so easy to want to do more and ending up doing nothing. We are still working, preparing for next semester, recruiting students, speaking to churches, getting classes organized, preparing for the Writing Road to Reading Seminar, but sometimes I think that is not enough.

It is.

So, if you read this, go with God, do His work. Do not complain about the task He has given you, but hold tightly to His hand and walk forward with joy.
