Though I’ve been left with some physical markers of my experience, I’ve also been blessed with a desire to educate others, and a spirit of perseverance that reminds me how the words of James have been true in my life. So, the next time you’re facing a trial, remember: God is right there with you, ready to give you joy as He sees you through.  </p> <p> <<< Read the full story by Rachel Keele at the Lake Union Herald <a href="https://www.lakeunionherald.org/archive/articles/unexpected-joy-from-trials">site</a> >>></p> <p>  </p> Thu, 26 Feb 2026 12:27:56 +0000 Andrews Announces Student Missions Director http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68879 <p> Andrews University welcomes Rebecca Fanai as the new student missions and service program director in the Center for Faith Engagement.

This awakening compelled them to re-imagine mission. What followed was a renewed commitment to make Christ known throughout St. Joseph County. </p> <p> ...</p> <p> If the church remains centered in Christ and focused on mission, then—by God’s grace—the goal of 2,000 baptisms will not be a ceiling, but a starting point. With the continued partnership of students from the Andrews University Religion department and seminarians, the harvest is expected to exceed the prediction. </p> <p> <<< Read the full story at the Lake Union Herald <a href="https://www.lakeunionherald.org/archive/articles/operation-andrew-sparks-baptismal-growth-at-south-bend-first-church">site</a> >>></p> Thu, 05 Feb 2026 12:06:11 +0000 Andrews to Host Spiritual Retreat for Students http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68760 <p> Andrews University is excited to once again host Standout, a spiritual retreat for high school-aged students from public or homeschool backgrounds, from Feb. 20–22, 2026.</p> <p> Free of cost for all registered students and sponsors, Standout offers complimentary lodging and meals throughout the weekend.
