Toward A New Vision

Fall greeted us with not only new students and faculty, but also with a new vision for LETU. After months of conversations, and lotsa listening, President Lunsford revealed LETU's Toward A New Vision.

The university’s new vision statement reads, “Claiming every workplace in every nation as our mission field, LeTourneau University graduates are professionals of ingenuity and Christ-like character who see life’s work as a holy calling with eternal impact.” Isn't that exciting? I know this vision was revealed a couple of months back but I find myself reflecting on it more and more. What does it mean to ME? How does it apply to ME? So I pass on these questions to you...

What does this mean to you? How can YOU claim every workplace, every nation as YOUR mission field? It's tough sometimes, isn't it, to feel like the only one bearing the baton. But that's what we are called to do...even if we fail God tragically...so, back to the original question:

How can YOU claim every workplace, every nation as YOUR mission field?

As we ready for a new year, this might be a good place to start some of those new year's resolutions.
