THE VINE
Prayer Requests: Our students have had a
busy summer, from our annual Garage Sale Fund raiser to attending Centrifuge in Glorieta, New
Mexico, to journeying to Johannesburg, South
Africa, to share the Gospel on another continent,
in another culture. We want to thank our FBC
Bryan family for remembering us in your prayers
throughout these endeavors. As we transition
into another school year, our students face new
responsibilities and challenges-some of them
in a brand new school setting! Please pray that
we would remember to whom we belong and
the Gospel we profess, that we would attend to
our responsibilities, and that we would seek to
know our Father more.
