The Daily Bruin

If you’re looking for an opportunity to be a part of furthering the prayer culture on campus, we need you! We’re looking for committed, passionate students with a love for God and for this place to help us create a culture of prayer on campus through praying over students’ prayer requests in the Prayer Chapel and helping coordinate prayer walks.

If this interests you, contact Amanda Kitz at akitz13@georgefox.edu to get started!

The campus community is invited to a Liberal Arts and Critical Issues presentation this Monday, Sept. 28, in Hoover 105, when Doug Fountain of Medical Teams International speaks on “Upgrading Health Care in Africa: Lessons from Ebola for the Future of Missions.” The same presentation will take place from 5 to 6 p.m. and again from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Guests are asked to attend the later session.

Ebola shocked the world and led to a scramble to make up for years of neglect in health services in three countries in West Africa. Fountain will discuss this and similar outbreaks in East Africa and identify new roles for Christian missions. His presentation is the fourth in the “Majority World and the West” series.

To accommodate large building materials for the new dining hall and café, a portion of the parking lot behind the Roberts Center near the physical therapy wing will be fenced off for the next several weeks. The nearest available parking will be in the Le Shana lot one block to the north on Villa Road (at the corner of Villa and Fulton).

We understand the inconvenience, and hope to retreat the fence line as soon as possible. Thank you for your flexibility as we continue to improve the campus we share and enjoy.

Many congregations engage in some sort of social service delivery that addresses issues of poverty. However, what they do and why they do it varies greatly.

Join us at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1, in Hoover 105. The event is free and open to the public. Mark’s visit is being made possible with support from the Center for Peace and Justice.
