It's been a while since posting a VLOG update. This is a mega update which includes post-conference reflections, comments about THE VAULT project at BJU, Read With Me, and United Prayer. This VLOG is a bit longer than normal, so please be patient!

We're just a few days away from The Foundations Conference. We're praying not for a perfectly executed conference, or for perfectly prepared sermons, but for the FIRE of God's Spirit to fill every heart. Pray with us and come prepared. THE FOUNDATIONS CONFERENCE Dec 16-17, 2021 // Greenville, SC // BJU www.thefoundationsconference.com

The Foundations Conference is fast-approaching. Here are some last-minute conference tips. We hope to see you soon! 1. Make sure you REGISTER. 2. Make sure you COME EARLY. 3. Make sure you COME PREPARED. It's pretty important that you come EARLY so that you give yourself enough time to find parking, locate the Welcome Center, check-in, and not feel rushed. Take a look at the SCHEDULE for both days and give yourself plenty of time. We will have ample refreshments and hot coffee along with a large selection of BOOKS from Banner of Truth. Come early and avoid the rush. It is equally important that you come PREPARED in spirit, mind, and body. This will be a very concentrated two days of preaching and prayer. Please come prepared to attend every session to be an encouragement to the speakers and to find a special blessing for your own soul. You will not want to miss anything. So do come prepared. We will see you shortly! Thank you.

As Christians, we need to be in the business of encouraging one another in the Lord. Here I recount some ways that I received encouragement and how we need to give the same. Registration for the Foundations Conference closes Nov 18.

September 23, 1857 was a very important day in church history. It was the first day of the Fulton Street Prayer Meeting. One of the striking features of those prayer meetings was Christian unity and love. We had a taste of such joyful unity this day as some in our own United Prayer group got to meet in-person.

It's been a while since we last posted any update. But thankfully, we are still moving forward. Covid has created a lot of uncertainties with the cost of commercial construction. As mentioned previously, God has brought to the school a generous donor to help fund a significant amount but not the entire cost. Construction will be contingent on it being fully funded so we will continue to trust the Lord for the rest. The goal is to begin physical construction in May 2022. We will continue to take another step.
