Meal and Meeting Schedule for 2018| Dr. Levendusky
In 2018, we will continue to meet every weekday at noon for prayer in the Faculty Dining Room, finishing at 12:30 p.m. or before for people to take their lunch break.

On Wednesdays at 11:45 a.m. we will have an all-campus meeting for all staff members (IAA and IBLP) and volunteers in the Main Dining Room. Families are invited to the meeting where we all will hear reports and updates from the various departments and/or directors. For the month of January, this meeting will conclude with a prayer time followed by a lunch at no charge for everyone in attendance at the meeting.

We will evaluate the effectiveness of this effort of bringing everyone together and determine if it will continue weekly, or on a less frequent basis.
Billy Graham Rapid Response Training Seminar
Anyone who is interested is invited to join the battalion for a Billy Graham Rapid Response Training Seminar on Saturday, January 13. Topics deal with ministering to those in need from a counseling/spiritual aspect and sharing the gospel. Feel free to invite others! Off campus guests can register with BGA for $45 (includes lunch). Staff are welcome to attend the conference at no cost and arrange for their own meal either at the Dining Room or at home.
