We pray that you will take time as a ministry to celebrate all that the Lord has accomplished in you and through you over these last several months. Its also not too late to finish the semester well with hosting a celebration for your ministry and thanking those that help make your ministry possible.
We also pray that you take some time this advent season to seek Jesus, to reflect upon Emmanuel - God with us. Let's seek him like the Magi:
"After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him."" (Matthew 2:1-2)
During this Christmas season we have the privilege of being able to seek and find the same Jesus that the Magi met 2000 years ago. Praise God!
"After they heard the king, they went on their way and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh." Matthew 2:9-11
I thank God for the example he gave us of the wise men 2000 years ago who took the time and energy to earnestly seek the Christ child then to worship him and give him gifts from their treasures. Let us all take the time to seek Jesus and worship him this Christmas season. It would also be great for us to follow the example of the magi and worship through giving him a gift from among our treasures.
Thank you for all you do to serve the Lord on your campus, and have a Merry Christmas!
P.S. Also, keep in mind the importance of registering for the Boston Winter Conference and for promoting it as well. The early pre-reg discount deadline is before noon December 15th. Once classes come to an end, it will be much tougher to get students to register. The next few days are very important. Please click on this website to register: http://www.bwc2009.com/
