Education Update

I had the opportunity to meet with an admissions counselor (AC) at MidAmerica Nazarene University (MNU) and found out that I can re-enroll at no cost. So the Lord has already begun making a way! The AC gave me the approved list of classes that I can take at Johnson County Community College. I have complete about 24 credit hours that I think will transfer and there is about 16 credit hours that I can take at JCCC. The beautiful thing about JCCC is that it only cost $63 per credit hour (versus about $500 at MNU) so I the mountain doesn't look as forboding initially! I'm hoping to get started at JCCC with online classes in the fall, complete the 16 credit hours in the 2006-2007 school year, with the goal of entering MNU in the fall of 2007. I will most likely be at MNU 2 years with summer school.

There are still a couple of lower level classes that I will need to take at MNU, but those are very few and I will be able to get into the meat of a ministry degree right away. There are several ministry degree options, although I think I will concentrate on Bible & Theology and a general Ministry track. Please continue to pray with me, believing, that God will provide the necessary funds to complete the education process. I know He won't give it to me until I need it. I want to remain faithful to the call and recognize that I am dependent on Him for the very air I breath!

One final update - I'm filling in as a Sunday School teacher for a few weeks. This has the potential of being permanent, which is a little exciting!
