As we approach August, we think of kids going back to school. Please pray for North Park University, North Park Seminary, and Tim Sales with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship.
“North Park University’s history and heritage reach back to a Minneapolis church basement in 1891, where classes in language and business gave Swedish immigrants, the skills needed to prosper in America. Now North Park University is Chicago’s city-centered Christian university. It serves nearly 3200 undergraduate and graduate students from around the country and world. Within a diverse, close-knit community, it offers a value-based education to students through more than 40 undergraduate majors.” For more information see www.northpark.edu.
“North Park Seminary is the denominational seminary for the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC). They are rooted in the affirmations of the ECC but welcoming to students from a variety of denominations. They believe theological education is more than coursework. In addition to classes, Bible, theology, history and ministry, they give their students the tools and understanding needed to be competent across cultural, eco-nomic, geographic and gender boundaries.” For more information see www.northpark.edu.
“For over 75 years Intervarsity Christian Fellowship has had a vital presence on hundreds of college cam-puses, courageously proclaiming Jesus as Lord and Savior, engaging in discipleship around scripture, and lov-ing people of every ethnicity and culture. Their ministry focuses on Evangelism, Discipleship, Multiethnicity and Missions.” Tim Sales is the Northwest Illinois Area Ministry Director. For more information see inter-varsity.org.
