New Semester Begins - New Students Recruited

This semester began on September 21 and many new students arrived on campus. The most encouraging were two couples we met last year at the National Missionary Convention. They were both interested in working among the Chinese. We told them about  the new Harvesters International program we were then developing at Central and about the full-tuition scholarship program. And, now, they are enrolled and preparing to go the mission field upon graduation. That is fulfilling to us as we continue now in our 6th year of recruiting among the students of Central Christian College and area churches. 

We are busy preparing for the year's activities with a Harvester's Retreat September 5 & 6, Missions Emphasis Week in October, and the National Missionary Convention in November. We are expecting record attendance in all three events this semester. We are also attempting a big mission trip next spring already. One trip, for the entire school, to Taiwan with a goal of at least 100 students and 10 faculty participating. It is a big endeavor, not just for us, but also for the missionaries on the field there. We hope that the is can be God blessed and great things come from a unifying trip for our school and future laborers for His harvest!
