Christian History

St. Patrick's Day

Patrick isn't really a Saint with a capital S, having never been officially canonized by Rome. And he couldn't have driven the snakes out of Ireland because there were never any snakes there to begin with. He wasn't even the first evangelist to Ireland (Palladius had been sent in 431,about five years before Patrick went). Patrick isn't even Irish. He's from what's now Dumbarton, Scotland.

Patrick was 16 years old in about the year 405, when he was captured in a raid and became a slave in Ireland. Far from home, he clung to the religion he had ignored as a teenager. But forced to tend his master's sheep, he spent his six years of bondage mainly in prayer. He escaped at the suggestion of a dream and returned home. Patrick was in his mid-40s when he returned to Ireland. His strategy was to convert chiefs first, who would then convert their clans through their influence.

Though he was not solely responsible for converting the island, Patrick was quite successful. He made missionary journeys all over Ireland, and it soon became known as one of Europe's Christian centers. This, of course, was very important to fifth-century Christians, for whom Ireland was one of the "ends of the earth."

United Methodist

Ladies Circle

Many thanks to Debbie Wike for inviting NCBA to share in their ladies circle in Conover.

Pastor John took two students and a Project Timothy 222 student to share their testimonies with these precious women.

It was a wonderful morning together!

We are so thankful for their prayers,

financial support and love.

What a special treat that was for our students.

They're Back!

Calvary Assembly

We are so thankful for the team of men from Calvary Assembly of God who came on campus this weekend to work on our bridge/dock.

These were the same men who worked tirelessly last April on our main dock. They did such a fabulous job then...and now!

The team pulled in on Friday morning, set up shop and went straight to work. By Saturday afternoon, the work was complete...and it is one solid structure!

This bridge will be used for the Mad Dash in May. It is part of the 5K course.

Thank you, Greensboro guys! We are grateful for your labor of love. You have left your mark of excellence on our campus.
