C.S. Lewis Institute
    Resources for Discipleship of Heart and Mind   

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.

December Update:

It has been a busy month with Fellows meetings, Heart & Mind Discipleship meetings, and SJC men and women's fellowship gatherings.If you have interest to participate in any of these gatherings, please contact Jim Phillips or Amy Yearwood.
 
Announcing a Seminar with Frog Orr-Ewing at 7:00pm on January 11th, at Harry Browne's Restaurant, in their upper room. (66 State Circle, Annapolis, MD 21401, 410-263-4332).
 
Frog Orr-Ewing is the Chaplain and Lecturer at the Oxford Center for Christian Apologetics (the OCCA). He is much in demand as a conference speaker and leadership coach. Frog is also an assistant tutor at Wycliff Hall, Oxford University. He is an associate lecturer at St. Paul's Theological Center, and is completing doctoral research on nineteenth century missiology and church planting. After graduating from Oxford University, Frog went on to be one of the pastors of St. Aldate's Church, in central Oxford before moving to South East London, where he became the youngest incumbent in the Church of England at All Saints Church, Peckham. The church experienced marked growth, particularly engaging hundreds of children and young people and pioneered many forms of urban mission. After seven years in the heart of the city Frog and Amy have planted a church in Buckinghamshire called Latimer Minster.
 
Frog has co-authored a number of books with his wife Amy Orr-Ewing, including: Millennials: Reaching and Releasing the Rising Generation and Holy Warriors: A Fresh Look at the Face of Extreme Islam.  

 

The seminar will be from 7:00-9:00pm and will be: Love and Relationships: Getting it right by God's design. While everyone is invited to attend and bring friends, Frog will be particularly focusing on the unique challenges in today's culture facing those who are unmarried. Please contact Amy Yearwood for more information and to register. 

 

You will want to mark your calendars for Thursday evening, April 11, 2013. This will be the annual CSLI Banquet in Washington, DC and the reason I am calling your attention to this is that our speaker will be Dr. James Kim, President of PUST (Pyongyang University of Science and Technology in North Korea) and YUST (Yanbian University of Science and Technology in NE China).

  

As a result of our visit to China last year, God has been drawing CSLI to become global in our mission of discipleship. Specifically, here are some important happenings:

  • The Heart & Mind Discipleship program is now available worldwide on iBooks for use on iPads.
  • A group of YUST instructors are receiving CSLI discipleship training 1Q13 in China.
  • CSLI has been invited to attend the annual gathering of ELIC (English Language Institute/China) to meet the teachers and introduce them to CSLI

Please pray for wisdom for CSLI in how we approach and execute this God-sized mission.

 

Amy's Collegiate News:

Our men and women's fellowships had a wonderful time together celebrating the end of the semester with the women meeting for a Christmas Tea at Reynold's Tavern and the men having dinner together at the Wine Cellar. This Sunday, the 6th, any Johnnies back in town who'd like some dinner are welcome over at Amy's house, 201 Hanover St. anytime from 6:00pm onwards. Our men's and women's fellowships will resume this next week, with the men meeting on Tuesday night the 8th at 7:30 at the Aslan House, and the women meeting on the 9th at 2:30 at the Aslan House. Please continue to pray for SJC, for the seniors as they write their essays this month, and that God's Truth would prevail!

 

Thank you for your prayers and support of CSLI Annapolis.

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!
