Need Urgent Prayer

This whole semester has been a huge growing process in so many ways. Right now I am wrestling with the possibility of returning home in the middle of the school year because of finances. I am still behind on my payments to the school which will run into about $860 starting in November. Within the next week, I will need to come up with enough money to catch me up on these payments or I may have to return home. I have been blessed to have a job here in Jackson for around 12 hours a week but it’s still not quite enough to cover school payments. Please pray that God will provide what He has promised. Whether that means going back home and continuing on with ministry there in my home community or remaining here at Bible school. One of the biggest struggles is dealing with my own pride. I always want to seem like I am stable and self sufficient and I let it get in the way of depending on God for His awesome provision for every aspect of my life. Please pray for His provision and His humility to be displayed in my life.
-- His, cody

Salvation So Great

Christ came to give life and provide us with freedom; not just freedom from Hell but freedom from the bondage of sin and this world. Watch this video

Greetings from Jackson!!




Life is good here in fast-action-Jackson. Classes are continually showing me God’s Word and it’s chewing up my worldview and transforming my thinking. Some days after class I feel like I’ve gone through a meat grinder and I just sit there as a bloody, mangled pile of spoiled hamburger. Only by grace through faith in Christ do I have any real hope. So that’s classes. School life is great as well. I’m part of the student leadership here at school on the campus life team. It’s been a really neat opportunity to get to know a lot of the other students better and grow along with them. I’m also in the chapel band. This picture is of us playing in the auditorium. We have music in some of our chapels during the week and about once a month we have a music chapel that is completely just worship music. I’m growing in my musical abilities as well as my understanding of what corporate worship really is. It’s so much more than just singing, but a response to God with our whole being for what God has already done and for who He is.
