“And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.”

– Ecclesiastes 4:1

I trust this month’s Three Strands Letter finds you well and rejoicing in the Lord! One of the most crucial things you can do as a member of NEBC’s Three Strands Team is to pray with and for us. This month, I would like to invite you to continue in prayer with us by highlighting 3-3-1, that is: Three Praises Reports, Three Prayer Requests, and One Special Item.

Three Praise Reports

1. Earlier this week, I had the privilege of speaking with a group of our NEBC Three Strands Members who were visiting on campus. It was my joy to provide them with updated numbers on professions of faith that our students, staff, and faculty have seen in recent years. As I shared these numbers my heart rejoiced and I want to share that with you today, so you too can praise the Lord with me for all He is doing. We began tracking these numbers on January 1, 2018. (I often wish I would have begun tracking the number of professions of faith from day 1, but we can certainly rejoice in the numbers we do have.)

2. Last month a couple of our students went on a Mission Trip to The Dominican Republic with the church they serve on the weekends. While on the trip they had the opportunity to share the Gospel with over 600 students, several of which professed faith in Jesus!

3. A group of NEBC students and staff are preparing for a mission trip to Williamstown, VT to serve alongside graduates Tyler and Mykayla during our Easter Break. They will be doing several outreach events and sharing the Gospel throughout the region. The Lord is clearly at work in Williamstown and these students are working hard to prepare to be used by the Lord during Easter Week. Praise the Lord with me for this opportunity.

Three Prayer Requests

1. Please join me in asking the Lord to continue to bear much fruit through the students, staff, and faculty of NEBC.

2. Monthly support and special gifts to our Presidential Partners’ Scholarship Fund are crucial to the day-to-day operations of NEBC. These gifts allow us to offer a quality education at an affordable price to our students. These gifts keep the lights on and keep our faculty and staff fed. They are crucial to NEBC’s ability to fulfill the Lord’s call. While the year is off to an amazing start academically and spiritually, the funding from these gifts is off to a slow start. Please join me in asking the Lord to move on the hearts of His people to give and to make the next 30 days the greatest 30-day period of financial support in our history.

3. Please keep our space needs in prayer. We continue to grow numerically and already have more applications for fall than typical at this point in the year. In addition, we need to finish the Dr. Gray Allison Village by October 15, 2026. Please join me in asking the Lord to raise up mission teams to accomplish the work and all the funding needs for the materials. If you have questions about how you can help, please feel free to reach out to me via email or phone.

One Special Item

My one special item this month is a BIG THANK YOU! You are making a significant difference, and I want you to know how grateful I am for you. We could not do what God has called us to do if it were not for your support! Your prayers, your giving, your coming on mission, and you inviting others to get involved are making a significant difference! Thank you for being a Three Strands Partner!
