Inspire, Winter 1995

From The Director's Chair A t the beginning ofthe school year,Dr.Warren Wiersbe challenged the Cedarville College family to pray. And we have prayed through many circumstances already. Karen Hamilton Cale'69 lost her husband in the fatal air accident near Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania in early September; Homecoming events were a great success with a record number ofover 1,500 alumni and family members in attendance;and Ben and I are praising God for a healthy baby boy—Nicholas Kinsman Smith— born November 1, 1994. I trust this issue of Inspire will help you remember Cedarville College daily in prayer.The back cover is meant to prod your memory regularly to pray specifically for events and people at Cedarville College.In the alumni survey conducted last year, wefound that many alumni contribute financially,and many contribute their time and talent volunteering on behalfofthe College. Butone resource we all can give is prayer! Join in this partnership to pray fervently for Cedarville College, won't you? Jane AdamsSmith'84 Director of Alumni Relations Your AlumniCouncil!
