Our September 2019 Prayer Points dispatch is now available in printable-PDF format here.
This document is designed to be a resource to you and your church (for prayer meetings and congregational distribution).
In this edition, we are requesting prayer for:
- Our next president, Dr. Jonathan Master, and his family as they prepare to move to Greenville in the coming months. Dr. Master also asks that we pray for wisdom for him as he prepares to take up the leadership of the Seminary.
- Dr. Pipa’s request that we pray for him as he prepares to step down from the presidency next year, and to continue teaching as a full-time member of the faculty.
- The Seminary’s finances as we are in a difficult time of year for our cash-flow. By the end of September, we are projected to be roughly $100,000 behind where we need to be.
- Our 29 new students and 70 returning students as they continue through our programs.
- Recent Alumni Transitions: Brian McCollough (MDiv ’19), Duncan Hoopes (MDiv ’19), Curt Straeter (MDiv ’19), and David Balzer (MDiv ’03)
