Forgive me, but this will be a longer post:
If you look at the "How You Can Help" tab of this project, you'll notice that the list begins and ends with a solicitation for prayer. Ricky Woodruff and I were chatting today about the spiritual projects we want to try and do in collaboration with the new chaplain at MVA (the new chaplain who we both have yet to meet I should add). One of the things we both gladly reiterated to each other was this project cannot succeed without prayer...lots of prayer, so much prayer that the project is saturated with it. I once again, as I did in the first blog post, want to put out a call to all of you to pray for this project and the people involved. In Psalms 127 we are reminded that
We desire not to labor in vain but instead to labor under the guidance of the Lord, without whom this school would have no purpose and would not even exist.
Ricky Woodruff is just one person I had the privilege of communicating with today. I also had the privilege of talking with Aaron Myers, the IT director at Mount Vernon Academy. I am so grateful for people like him who dream big dreams for MVA. Without people with vision like him, MVA would never have existed in the first place, nor remained open for what has almost been 120 years. His ideas along with Ricky Woodruff's now appear in the revised "Project Goals" section of this blog.
For those of you that are involved in this project, be it in Ohio on your feet or from a distance on your knees, I want to let you know that my friend, Ricky Woodruff (also an alum of MVA) will be contacting you to organize a vibrant prayer group for this project. Without the Holy Spirit, we are sure to fail. Without God's guidance, we are sure to fail. But, as the scriptures say:
