Several students are applying to Mid-South Community College to pursue a Certificate of Proficiency in Chemical Plant Operations and Processes. We're proud of Tonya Harris and Christiana Brown, who have already received acceptance letters. Several of the students of the students who are interested in this program (full scholarships are available) face transportation challenges. Please pray that roadblocks will be removed for those who are ready and willing to pursue education.

PSALM 55: 9-11
9 Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words, for I see violence and strife in the city. 10 Day and night they prowl about on its walls; malice and abuse are within it. 11 Destructive forces are at work in the city; threats and lies never leave its streets.
