Ambassador Choir Sings Christmas Carols
As I watched choir members sing Christmas Carols in chapel – their postures at attention, eyes trained on Professor Stan Campbell – and felt the concentration of each singer, I was taken back to my own choir days as a student here at Multnomah. I enjoyed remembering the friends I made while singing, touring, and falling asleep on the bus as we traveled from church to church. Despite being a group of very diverse peoples, there was a special kinship we all felt in using the musical giftings that God gave us to bring encouragement to men and women along the West coast.

"I came across a quote the other day that said, 'We had the experience, but we missed the meaning'. Today I want to share with you the most difficult experience I have ever had. But I want to share with you the meaning... God has a way of turning tragedy into victory. Our story is a story of loss and of pain, but also a story of great gain."

Eternity in the Hearts of Mankind
On the edge of my seat, I listened as Don Richardson spoke in our chapel about his and other missionaries' experiences in the field. Blood-thirsty tribes in the deep jungle of Indonesia.

Today is Good Friday, and Easter is this coming Sunday. How blessed we are to have both written into our calendar! Both generate a deepening of appreciation and praise to God for His provision of our salvation. We experience Christ’s love, which deepens our love for Him. Because of the cross and resurrection, we are able to experience His grace and know true forgiveness. What freedom! What joy! “We love Him because He first loved us.” It is His love that enables us to reach out to others. Read the rest of this entry »

"Happiness is not joy. In trials happiness leaves us, but joy is of the spirit."
At the tender age of 11, Meadowlark Lemon heard about the Harlem Globetrotters and a passion for their ministry was kindled in his heart. Taking a wire hanger, an onion sack, and empty milk carton, Lemon started practicing what would someday become a globally renown half-court hook shot. Combining his impressive basketball skills with slapstick comedy, families from miles around would come to see the "Clown Prince of Basketball" play. Read the rest of this entry »
