Be Encouraged, by Alan Allmen

This week is a testimony to God's power! I have been encouraged so much to pray in thanks to God for what He has done - and what He has yet to do - through IV at NU. The boldness, creativity, urgency, and fervor which I see demonstrated through EngageNU gives me confidence in knowing that God's triumph over the devil is absolute. As I think back to when I was in MEIV, I remember how easy it is to be discouraged from such "risky" actions by school work, fear, doubt, and disunity - so I am overwhelmed in seeing so many of those destructive forces tossed aside in beautiful obedience to God.

This is what God wants His people to do. Take joy in knowing - despite the hardships, long days, and whatever else comes along the way - that God will reward the faithfulness of His people. I will be praying in earnest for IV and for God's reign to come upon NU.

All blessings in Christ,
Alan Allmen
MEIV '05
