Dear LPU Family, As we cross over into a new year, I am encouraged by the hope and possibility that 2022 holds for us. Having served the LPU community for more than two decades, and as President these past two years, I am in awe of the profound move of God we are experiencing right now at LPU and what His Presence means for our future. I thank the Lord every day for His continued faithfulness! While the past season has been challenging, we are witnessing our students embrace their calling with great enthusiasm and a revived faith on both the East and West campuses. This year, we are building forward. Aligning with the truth found in Hebrews 11:10 which says, “For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God”, we are planning and working with a renewed sense of purpose and destiny. We are building forward in partnerships, programs, and staying on mission by preparing our students to serve Christ in the Church, the workplace, and the world. We are seeing an explosive growth of regional, national, and international partnerships with educational institutions and ministry opportunities for our students. Preparing our students to be successful post-graduation is at the forefront of our efforts. So much so, that LPU has been recognized by U.S. News and World Report as a top regional leader for social mobility. This means that our students’ socio-economic standing shifts upward after graduation. Truly, we are impacting current students and generations to come through them! Our heart is just that - to impact the next 100 years even greater than we’ve been doing since 1923. You’ll see this desire in our Strategic Plan as well as in the stories that highlight the amazing work of our alumni like Naomi Lyford on page 4, and current students like Jessica Acosta on page 8. You won’t want to miss watching their video testimonies! I hope you’ll find this issue of Carry On worth sharing. More than ever before, the world needs what God is doing through LPU. With this issue of Carry On being digital, making LPU known is easy! You can copy and paste the shareable Carry On link into an email or text and send to your family and friends. My prayer for you is that you will know the love and light of Jesus. And together, we will build forward His Kingdom.
