Eric, saw the note this morning and as a graduate of Western Bible College (1976), I am sending my congratulations to you as you follow in the footsteps of Dr. Sweeting and so many past presidents of CCU and its heritage schools from days gone by.  I pray that God Himself will equip you and give you discernment and courage to stand strong in the face of growing opposition to everything that CCU stands for.  More and more, our society needs godly men and women who are not ashamed of the Gospel and live their lives in order to make Jesus known through their careers, families, and profession.
