April 2010
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you all enjoyed a meaningful time of celebration. He has risen indeed!
Things at TWU are quite exciting as the year-end approaches. We are continually relying on the Lord to provide, which is an awesome place to be. It assures us that He is truly in control. This is why I have put the call out for 300 alumni to pray. (If you haven’t received the March issue of the TW Magazine, you can read my article, and the whole magazine online here). I am simply looking for 300 alumni who will join with me in praying for Trinity Western for 1 hour a week for 1 year. The premise is that God can show His strength and power through us. By joining together and praying for TWU, and its alumni, we allow the Lord to show His might and give us direction. I trust this is what will happen.
So, if you feel called to be one of the 300, please email me at dave.swan@twu.ca.
With only 300, watch what the Lord will do!
Blessings,
