Inspire, Fall/Winter 2011

I remember when Steve Saint came and read from Da Jesus Book , the Bible translated into Pidgin. Between the simplicity of the Gospel to reach all tribes and nations and his story of going back to minister to a people who killed his father — it was hard not to tear up. Kimberly Bowen ’10, West Palm Beach, Florida My freshman year, Scott Lehr ’00 sang, “My God is so big, so strong and so mighty, there’s nothing my God cannot do.” His wife had been diagnosed with HIV, but through a miracle, she was found not to have HIV. I remember his story and his faith, and I pray that God will give me the faith to believe there is nothing my God cannot do. Lisa (Gray) Linder ’10, Powell, Ohio One of the most memorable chapel days for me was the day that the women’s dress code changed from skirts to pants. When the announcement was made from the podium, there was the loudest, longest scream that ever went up in a Cedarville chapel. My roommate and I were against the dress code change, and I think we were the only girls not screaming in the whole auditorium. That was certainly a historical day in Cedarville’s history! Emily (Plate) Williams ’04, Clinton, Mississippi My friend, Michael Clutz ’05, was asked to pray in chapel. Our group of friends agreed to pray for him because he was nervous about praying in front of 3,000 people. We bowed our heads as the worship team moved into place. As Michael began to pray, we heard a loud racket coming from the stage. I opened my eyes just in time to see the guitarist and his stool fall off the back of the riser, feet in the air and all. Michael was no longer the center of attention! Mark McDaniel ’05, Cedarville, Ohio I remember Mike DiCuirci leading Lion of Judah during fall Bible conferences and streams of students going forward to give money for the 2005 Katrina relief offering. One year, a spring break MIS team came back with scabies. We kept getting emails from health services about the outbreak. During an SGA chapel skit, Chris Harmon ’09 dressed up like a scabie ... which was just a giant lobster costume. Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner and World War II POW, had an amazing chapel with Dr. Brown. Students later joked that Louis Zamperini could beat up Chuck Norris.
