Greetings! Greetings in the name of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ! On behalf of the facilitators of the C.S. Lewis Institute - Annapolis (George Anderson, Sig Berg, John Bishop, Jim Hiskey, and Jim Phillips), I offer you this edition of the CSLI Annapolis Newsletter.
Mission of C.S. Lewis Institute:
The C.S. Lewis Institute was founded in 1976 in the legacy of its namesake as an organization which endeavors to challenge, educate, and disciple those who will, like Lewis, articulate, defend, and live faith in Christ through personal and public life. The Institute's vision complements the work of the Church, equipping thoughtful believers to impact their sphere of influence for Jesus Christ. This discipleship of heart and mind takes place by means of teaching, readings, and mentoring.
Mission of C.S. Lewis Institute - Annapolis: The Mission of C.S. Lewis Institute - Annapolis is to extend the mission of the C.S. Lewis Institute to the Annapolis community, with a special passion for the students and faculty of Saint John's College and the U.S. Naval Academy. Ours is to disciple the people the Lord brings to us and connect them to each other so that they can lead the Church, the State, and the nations. Support for C.S. Lewis Institute -Annapolis: We are funded by the contributions of private individuals who identify with our Mission and Vision above. If you wish to support this ministry, please click here.

Here are the key happenings at CSLI Annapolis this past month:
SJC men and women's fellowships came to an end with celebration events for our graduating seniors;
9 of our Year 1 Fellows have committed to continue into Year 2 beginning June 1, 2013;
21 people have committed to the Year 1 Fellows Program beginning June 1, 2013;
We have a group of 12 teachers at the Yanbian University of Science and Technology in Yanji, China doing the one year Journey program with one of our Year 2 Fellows serving as the facilitator;
A group of 15 or more soldiers in Djibouti are undertaking the 10 week Heart & Mind Discipleship course with the sponsorship of the Catholic and Protestant chaplains and one of our Year 2 Fellows serving as the facilitator;
ELIC (English Language Institute China) has just received both the Heart & Mind and Journey curriculums to be distributed to their 600 teachers throughout nine Asian countries;
And God is sending graduates from our Year 1 and Year 2 Fellows programs to places as far away as China and North Korea to make disciples of Jesus there.
In brief, God is drawing men and women from around the world into the Annapolis community, discipling them here, then sending them out into their churches, communities, even the world, to make disciples of Jesus there. Annapolis is an "Antioch"in that it is becoming a training ground for followers of Jesus.
As our mission here is growing from local to global, so are our needs of people and resources. If you want to be part of this exciting discipleship movement, just send me an email and I will be happy to speak/meet with you to discuss.
Thanks for your prayers and support, Aslan is on the move in Annapolis and around the world!
A new calendar for August 2013-June 2014 is being developed and will appear in the August newsletter.

Ongoing
Please pray for the men and women associated with the Institute and the lives they have been entrusted to touch. Our ministry in Annapolis is not about numbers, it is about touching the lives of the men and women God brings to us before they go out into His service.
Aslan is on the move!
Blessings,
Jim Phillips
Director, C.S. Lewis Institute - Annapolis
