Max Tyler October Update

Today marks 2 months being in Alaska, and it's been a wild ride. There's been a lot of Moose on campus, a lot of wildlife out and about. Classes have been fun, we just finished going through Exodus in Pentateuch 2 and we are now starting to go through Leviticus.

The rest of the classes have been good, but there is a LOT of homework for Synoptic Gospels which isn't great but one thing I've learned so far is to rejoice in all things, so I am rejoicing in that I have a teacher who cares about my education, and want's me to learn a lot.

I am pleased to announce that I am the new TA for Discipleship Making one, so far that just entails grading everyones homework, but there may be some more things for me to do.

I will be giving a devotion to everyone on November 5, so far my plan is to do some of my testimony, and give a small lesson on what God has been doing in my life recently and how it can help others.

Not everything has been good during my time though, there has been 4 students that have dropped out in the past 2 weeks unfortunately, but I have to remember that it's all a part of God's plan, and "Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end.” Heb. 12:2

On a positive note, I had the opportunity to install some windows on a friends cabin, and some student's and I went in together to buy them the rest of the sheet metal they needed to finish the roof. God is so Good!

Please keep praying for me and ABI as we head into winter this next weekend, pray for us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and to lean on Him when we grow weary.

Please reach out if you'd like to know more!
