Staff Prayer Time Moved Prayer time today, Monday, February 7, is moved to the Dining Room. We will regather in Faculty Dining Room on Tuesday. |
| February Day of Prayer and Fasting Dr. Levendusky is calling for our monthly day of prayer and fasting on February 8. He emphasized our need to join together and seek the Lord.
And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting (Mark 9:28–29).
And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments… (Daniel 9:3–5)

Not only do the SOWERs provide diligent and skilled help for projects, but these couples consistently reach out with the love of Christ to the students and staff of this ministry.

| Battalion Update ALERT's 28th anniversary is on Saturday, February 12. In celebration, the battalion plans to make a polar plunge in the lake at midnight (first minutes of the 12th) and have a bonfire with hot drinks afterwards. The men wrote their peer evaluations this past weekend, and the battalion leadership team will be compiling those through the first part of this week. Intermediate Training and L&C are both scheduled to leave on Saturday morning; Intermediate Training to Miami for two weeks of dive training, and L&C to Washington DC for their leadership field trip. L&C public speeches will be in the Dining Room on Friday afternoon. Please continue to pray for pre-dive trip details to come together before Saturday. |
| Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden Often we can struggle to maintain the proper limits and boundaries within our workplaces. Below is a helpful guide to help remind us what we are responsible for and what we are not.
This is Your Job
To fulfill the commitments I made
To make sacrifices with other staff
To go the extra mile on my work
To add value that complements the team
To see and act in light of the big picture
To be responsible to teammates.
This is Not Your Job
To fix others who fail to keep their commitments
To maintain boundaries that are "fair"
To go seven extra miles out of guilt
To make up for everyone’s weaknesses
To own every mistake made by others
To be responsible for teammates.
May God grant you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, courage to change the things you can, and wisdom to know the difference.
