Much news to report!

The mailer is at the printers and should go out in a few days. It will cover almost from Bedford to Rocky Mount (30,000+!)

We have interviews scheduled or pending at The Eagle, The Lake

(Roanoke-Times) and the Franklin News-Post.

The website is growing daily.

The Town Hall meetings are scheduled for Halesford Baptist Nov. 13 and Radford Baptist Nov. 29 both at 6:30pm.

I have spent a large amount of time on curriculum issues over the past several weeks. The challenge will be narrowing them all down to what we consider to be the best for us. The ideal format is to make program decisions based on our particular vision and mission, then hire the right faculty to implement. However, make no mistake about it, hiring the right teachers is indeed the critical element. So, just as parents pray for their children's spouses when they are still children, I urge you to begin praying now for our faculty. Pray that their hearts would begin to be stirred even though they will not know why... yet!

Also, please pray that the families the Lord wants at the TH meetings will indeed be there. Pray that all attending will be blessed in some way, perhaps beyond the school presentation itself.

Thanks for all the feedback and prayer support.
