3:30 challenge

A Note from Dr. Blanc 

I’m excited to see our new semester underway on campus. More importantly, seeing returning and new students in our classrooms is a blessing. A high point of my week is the President’s Chapel on Friday. This year’s theme is ‘The 3:30 Challenge,’ based on John 3:30: ‘He must increase, and I must decrease.’ We will seek ways to promote the life of Christ in us as we trust Him to conquer the self-life. Our Friday chapels are live-streamed so the entire Davis College community can participate. The Davis student community includes those on campus, online, and at teaching sites. Our online community is growing and extends to many international locations. Please pray for us and join us in The 3:30 Challenge!

Student Spotlight: Raphael’s Story

“Attending Davis College is clearly a God thing. God opened the door for me through scholarships for my first semester, as I am from Canada. While here, I am studying biblical counseling, serving as an RA in the dorm, and I’m also the captain of the soccer team. My biggest desire is to return to the lost province of Quebec and share the gospel.”
