Look out world...here they come

At the end of this week CTS students will embark on an adventure in ministry.  Every spring CTS dismisses classes for a week of intensive practical church ministry.  This year, students are going to Romania, Czech Republic, England, Belgium, Morocco, Sweden, Germany, Finland, and France!  Look out world...here come our CTS students. 

During Student Ministry Week, students will partner with local churches and missions agencies to get a first hand look at ministry.  Some are working with their own church and pastors back in their home countries.  Others are embarking on an adventure to a new nation.  Still others will be working in a second or third language to meet the felt needs of the city.  Several students are leading teams for the first time.  All are hoping to use their gifts, see God's hand at work, and to share the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Thanks for praying for these students as they leave this Friday.  Immediately after Student Ministry Week, CTS will be closed for Easter Vacation, and a much needed break from studies for our students.  My colleagues and I will still be working hard to make preparations for their return.  The end of the year will come faster than we can imagine after the return from Easter.  

Continue to pray for CTS in the next few months.  After 13 years of ministry at CTS, Missionary President Roland Q. Dudley has announced his resignation.  A new president will be announced in June and a search is currently underway.  Pray for all of us during this transitional period, and for the wisdom of the Board of Trustees as they make the selection of the new president.
