The Good & Bad

Today Pastor Jeff and myself went to the District Office to meet with Barb to discuss details about the School of Ministry and partnering with WBC. It appeared to be bad news. Barb had received a letter from another Assemblies of God college that WBC credits were not transferable. So we looked at a few options if this were the case. We figured we could make special arrangements with particular universities to accept WBC credits then let our ESOM students that if they wanted to persue their degree after completing ESOM they would have a certain few schools they could attend that wouldtransfer their credits. We decided to wait on confirmation for a couple weeks and Barb would do some research to see what was the case.

On Jeff's end, he was excited to see Barb's willingness to partner with us. We left feeling positive about he whole thing but a little nervous about the transfer of credits issue.

This was also the week I began a series on for Causes. the theme is: 'As eikons we are created to love in action in truth." This last Wednesday is called, "What's Your Cause". I encouraged students to ask themselves what is there purpose in life and to figure out what is their cause to impact people by meeting their needs. Next week We will be laying out six Causes that we are offering so that kids can sign up for and be a part of. The are all on our youth website here. They are:

• Displaced (Homless)
• iCare (Hospital/Shut in visitation)
• Street Team (Advertising)
• Rush (We go to a park or mall and do pools and questionnaires that lead to conversation about God)
• Campus Resource (Where we partner with schools to offer our help as a resource to them)
• Go Green (Where we pick up trash and clean neighborhoods or parks)
