My family and I just got in from driving all night after a youth camp in Alabama. Many saved, great time. But I am whipped! We do want to make it a requirement that all our students go on a mission trip. We need a really rich person to give us an endowment for the many students who are truly financially strapped and need the help. But the good news is until then we have such momentum for these trips that the vast majority of our students have been or will go overseas short term before they graduate. I am grateful!

God does have His ways of strengthening and encouragingly us. From a former college student of yours (one of the old men in your class fall 2007) who needed to hear its God's agenda and not my own. I hope to start seminary this fall and I look forward to taking class with you (not the test but the class:-) By the way my wife and oldest daughter (15) both just returned from their first mission trip to Mexico. It has to be one of the best things to happen in their lives. My daughter now is considering being a missionary. WOW! After my first mission trip to Nigeria I have encouraged our church to be more active in missions. Our youth pastor, Nathan Redinger, took me up on the challenge and carried 4 from our church to World Changers in Mexico. As you know God has forever impressed upon them the need for the gospel to be shared and given them all a great heart for missions. I think SEBTS should consider making it a requirement to go on at least one mission trip to graduate. Its that important! I didn't mean to ramble on you I just mainly wanted to thank you for the post and to let you know God brings to my mind often the evangelism class I took with you and He burdens my heart for lost people everywhere. God Bless you and your family Keep on fighting the good fight!!!! Larry Whichard Dr. Reid,
