| It must be November because I am seeing hundreds saved at Superbowl.
Two week-ends ago, I was at the Columbus, Ohio Superbowl. What a blessing seeing so many alumni and giving an update on what is going on at the BI. I love seeing former students that still love to get involved in seeing souls saved. It was a great night with many professions of faith.
On November 15th, I was in Johnstown, PA and again had a great time there as well. Saw some more alumni and many more salvation decisions. Johnstown is a long way to drive from Schroon Lake.
I have one more Superbowl. The first week-end of December I will be in DC for that Superbowl. If you are in the area - stop by and say hello.

| I had the privilege this last week-end to go to Dallas, TX. Ellen and I spoke at a Leadership Conference that our Area Missionaries for WOL had in the area. The extra blessing was to spend time with 3 couples that we had the privilege of pouring our lives into since they were in college. The joys of discipleship.
We also had the privilege on Sunday evening of spending it with 3 families that we could share about the Bible Institute. There we met Cody, Adam and Crystal; the three students are looking to go to the BI in the future. It was a profitable time.
Thank you, Kyle and Chris for treating us well.

| Mike Calhoun and I just finished our epic Source One Journey to Florida and back to New York. For those of you not in the know - Source One is a 6 hour course that we teach on helping students live a Bibically principled life in every area. This is foundational to a Biblical Worldview.
In Florida, we sensed a great reception to what we were teaching. The student body is very responsive and receptive to the truths.
In New York, we had some technical difficulties to start with but I decided to turn it into a "fun" time and went off on a few different directions - all at the same time! =) Our incredible, student led tech team solved the issues and we moved forward.
It is very exciting to see students grab the concept that our lives must be dictated by the principles of God's Word and not the example of others, emotions or our own experiences of life.
I am looking forward to this being fleshed out in weeks to come.

| Ellen and I start our 5th year at the BI. PTL for the great beginning.
We have 501 in NY.
124 in Florida and
42 in Canada.
In NY, it is the largest class since 2001. In a year when many schools are struggling for students - we are growing. I am looking forward to being in Florida this week to check out our students there. I will be in Canada in January.
We are looking for life change in a great revival on all three campuses.

| Can you believe it - in the 38 year history of the BI - this was the very first time we had an outdoor graduation on BI property. For many years we did it on the beautiful grounds of the Inn. It was beautiful and the day went incredibly well.
Dr. Davis gave his famous farewell speech and Dr. Jordan gave a challenge. My favorite part was congratulating students with my beautiful wife by my side.
Now we look onto a new class. I am getting pretty exciting - our numbers seem to be up! I believe this year will be break 500 in NY, 130 in FL and come close to 50 in Canada.
What a thrill to be involved in life change of students.
