The reports this week are plentiful and they are rich with God’s hand giving the increase around the world. There is a great level of excitement in reading about the mission of God as it is being fulfilled week after week. The activities of the staff and students in various locations around the world continually demonstrates the presence of God in all places at the same time. Our God is active in providing the growth of the church through the proclamation of the gospel.
This week in Denver students are focusing on a time of research. They are given an opportunity to dig deeper into the assignments and prepare for the final thrust of the quarter leading up to graduation. Witnessing the excitement of the Seniors who are approaching the finish line of their training is such a blessing. We look forward to reporting more about their work in the future.
Since there are a number of reports this week, I encourage you to read about the work for yourself. I appreciate the time you take each week to read through the various works being done through Extension Training. Without your hand to provide what is needed for each of these areas, the work would not be possible. Thank you.
Now on to the other reports...
