Today, we had the chance to meet with Troy and Lisa Tabor! Troy and Lisa are full-time missionaries to Cambodia who specialize in spreading the gospel to Buddhists. They spoke to us about how we must be aware of the rise in Buddhism around us and how we should partner with to begin to reserve this rise! It was amazing to hear about their passions and their ministry!

Today, we met with Tyler Tufte after he preached in our Chapel service. Tyler is the District Youth Director of South Dakota with years of experience in various roles in the church. In our meeting, Tyler spoke about how to lead our churches by being vulnerable and building trust. He also talked about how we must release shame and fear; otherwise, they will keep us from being vulnerable with our churches. What wisdom!

Last night, we had our March Event: Cereal and AdLib Night. However, there was a silly twist! Everyone had to bring an object to eat out of that was not a bowl. Our students brought some crazy, unique, and creative items, including shoes, Tupperware, mugs, building blocks, army helmets, and homemade wooden bowls!

This past Sunday, our students went on our yearly Model Church Trip. This trip entails our students visiting one to two churches and gaining first-hand experience on how a church functions on Sundays from start time to finish time of the services. The two churches we visited were Harvest Valley Church in Horace, ND, and All Nations Church in Fargo, ND. It was an eye-opening and exciting experience that our students will never forget!

Yesterday and today, our students had the chance to meet with the chapel speakers! Yesterday’s speaker was children’s pastor Mary Ann Adams who challenged us with making us ask ourselves the question: “What if God asks?” Today’s speaker was pastor Randy Hahne who spoke about the importance of abiding with God in every season of our lives.

These two speakers shared invaluable wisdom with us about ministry and how we can be best equipped for it!!

Last week, our students had their first Mentoring Pastor Meeting of the new year! Pastors Jeremy and Mandy Harris mentored the undergraduate students, while Pastor Ed Kvaale mentored the juniors and seniors. These meetings help our students to learn, ask questions, and glean wisdom from experienced pastors to help prepare them for their future ministry.

The Accelerate Program had its first activity for this year! We ate dinner together, went on a hayride in the beautiful weather, and then relaxed and enjoyed s’mores by the fire back on campus. We had wonderful fellowship with one another with many laughs too!
