THE VINE
Prayer Requests: Our students have had a busy summer, from our annual Garage Sale Fund raiser to attending Centrifuge in Glorieta, New Mexico, to journeying to Johannesburg, South Africa, to share the Gospel on another continent, in another culture. We want to thank our FBC Bryan family for remembering us in your prayers throughout these endeavors. As we transition into another school year, our students face new responsibilities and challenges-some of them in a brand new school setting! Please pray that we would remember to whom we belong and the Gospel we profess, that we would attend to our responsibilities, and that we would seek to know our Father more.
