O Lord, with heavy hearts we know there are many who have seen their work and income falter or their employment cease altogether. Sustain them, Jesus. Provide for them. Protect them from anxiety, fear and feelings of failure.
Today is our 113th Birthday! The past year has been a special reminder that the Lord has remained faithful to Biola over many decades. We are so thankful for all those in the Biola community and we can’t wait for what’s ahead!
