STUDENT LIFE “October is a busy month here on the campus! At this point in the semester, students are primarily involved in classes, weekly devotionals, President’s Chapels, and weekly ministry in local churches. In President’s Chapel, Dr. Blanc has been unpacking our John 3v30 Challenge: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” Each week he has given practical application for how this is accomplished in our lives as followers of Jesus. This has been a special time for our students! In weekly ministry opportunities, students are able to practice what they are learning and gain valuable ministry experience. We are praying that these experiences will serve the church at large and help launch students in their next steps for ministry.
Calendar Updates: Word of Life Homecoming takes place on October 11-13. We anticipate a record attendance during this weekend with many activities happening mainly on Friday & Saturday. And with most Davis on-campus students being Alumni of the Word of Life Bible Institute, they can reconnect with former classmates during the weekend. The following weekend, Word of Life is hosting the ACBC Essentials Conference on October 18-19. Many of the Davis College students who are enrolled in the Counseling concentration attend this conference as a part of their class load for the fall semester. The following weekend, the Word of Life Missions Conference will commence on October 25-27. This year, three additional Word of Life campuses will be joining the student body here in New York; the Florida campus and two Canadian campuses [Owen Sound & Quebec]. The campus will be packed, and we can’t wait to see how the Lord stirs students to participate in local & global mission work! Overall, the spirit on campus is fantastic. Students are demonstrating growth in their relationship with God and their relationships with others. And because of that, there is an edifying and compassionate environment being developed. Thank you for your prayers and investment in Davis College! Our students & staff appreciate it more than you realize!” – Drew Burtis
STUDENT MINISTRY At Davis College, student ministry is central to our mission of preparing servant leaders. We emphasize practical ministry alongside academic learning, encouraging students to actively serve while studying. James 1:22 says, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only.” By engaging in ministry, students practice the truths they are learning, embodying the biblical mandate to live out their faith. Ministry involvement is vital because it puts faith into action. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Engaging in ministry develops students spiritually, allowing them to be able to apply Scripture practically, deepens their understanding of God’s calling,
