Annapolis Skyline

Dear Fellows and friends of CSLI Annapolis,
 
This past weekend, Ken Boa was in Annapolis for the sixth consecutive year to bless our community with his scholarly and winsome presentation of the gospel.  He spoke to Johnnies, Midshipmen, Pastors, Fellows, community, and had numerous individual meetings for personal mentoring.  
 
We at the Institute are always "recharged" by Ken's annual visit to Annapolis and we thank all of our donors for making this possible.
 
 "The Annapolis Story" video was made to articulate what God has done since establishing the C.S. Lewis Institute Annapolis in 2009. 
 
If you have not seen the video yet, here is a link to it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8Y2orvYmh_M
 
September through December, I committed to take each "leg" of the stool (Community, Education, Military, and Government) and give you an update on what God is doing through the Institute to assist the Church in making disciples (followers of Jesus) within these important components of our culture.  This month will be about "Education", see below.
 
The 2016-2017 Calendar of Events is also attached below and I encourage you to review and mark the events you wish to attend in your calendars.
 
The "Evening with C.S. Lewis" event in Annapolis on October 13th is SOLD OUT!  There are still seats at the D.C. Institute's event held October 14, 7:30 - 9:30 pm at Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church in Annandale, VA.  Here is where you can get more information and register:  http://www.cslewisinstitute.org/CS_Lewis_Evening

 The Leg of Education:
 
The C.S. Lewis Institute in Annapolis is located one block from the U.S. Naval Academy and two blocks from Saint John's College.  I want to say up front, there is no formal relationship between CSLI Annapolis and either of this excellent institutions.
 
However, over the past five years, students from both of these institutions have approached the Institute and asked if we could facilitate some programs/venues that would allow them to participate in the programs and activities of the Institute.
 
Today, there are the following regular activities:
 
  • A SJC men's fellowship that meets weekly for dinner, fellowship and discussion much like the "Inklings";
  • A SJC women's fellowship that meets weekly for tea, fellowship and discussion;
  • Twenty-five senior midshipmen are committed to a year-long discipleship program called the Associate Program which is a modified version of the more robust Fellows Program;
 
Other activities that occur with these students are:
 
  • An annual overnight retreat to Osprey Point;
  • Quarterly "Pancakes and Questions" where students come for pancakes and the opportunity to engage a gifted apologist/speaker on questions about the gospel and its application/relevance to their lives;
  • Several times each year a visiting seminar speaker engages the students specifically in a venue/topic tailored uniquely to them.
 
We have been extending invitations to other students from other collegiate institutions recently and hope to see this work expand in the future.
 
The "Education" leg of the stool of our Annapolis society has been one of the most unexpected and rewarding opportunities for CSLI Annapolis.  If you have a heart for working with students, you should let one of us know so that we can consider you for service.
 
Thanks for your support of CSLI Annapolis. We hope you are all having enjoyable summers and letting "Aslan" reign in your hearts, relationships and actions.
 
Love,
Jim
 

Lastly, I want to ask you to continue to PRAY FOR NABEEL QURESHI and his family.  Below is the info that came from RZIM on 8/31/16 announcing that Nabeel has been diagnosed with "advanced stage of stomach cancer".  Nabeel is an amazing young man with a powerful testimony.  He is now in need of divine intervention to save his life.
