FALL 2012w w w . c i u . e d u / a l u m n iINSIDE:Tear-OutPrayer Card

Its amazing how God can use four years of your life to

prepare you for what He has planned for you. Im talking

about my four years at Columbia International University

where the friendships I made and the desires God gave me to

erve Him laid the groundwork for my future.

While studying at CIU, God used the missions mindset of the

aculty and staff to instill in me a desire to use my communicationkills to create video presentations of what He is doing in the

world. This calling was driven home by friendships and those

who mentored me. It led me to join with fellow CIU alumnus,

Ken Summerall, to co-direct Wellwater Productions, an organization

hat uses video to report on where and how God is moving in

he world.

Meanwhile, God has also called me to use my gifting in video

o work directly with the local church, which also provides for

my full-time employment.

I had hoped to move into a position within the Church immedi

after graduation, but sometimes our schedules and Gods pl

are entirely different. He still had things to teach me. Inste

God led me into the marketplace producing commercials the

ideal position for refining my professional skills. I am immen

thankful for the ways that God taught me during that time.

Just last year, God brought me to Seacoast Church in Charles

S.C. where I use my talents and gifts in video production to

His story as He works within the local church. God was

preparing me all along for the perfect position for the uniqu

person that He has made me to be.

Five years after graduation, CIU still plays a direct role in w

God is doing in my life. Ive had the privilege of humbly serv

CIU alumni as a member of the Alumni Association LeaderCouncil (AALC). I continue to be inspired as I hear about t

ways God is using CIU alumni worldwide. I am also encour

every year as I return to campus for Homecoming. Its an

opportunity to meet both alumni as well as current students

God has woven an amazing body of believers through the C

family. He continues to encourage me through CIU and use

many of you to build me into the man He wants me to be.

And Im thankful that Hes just getting started.

FALL 2012

Gratitude is at the root of all selflessphilanthropy. Cicero wrote, Gratitudeis not only the greatest of virtues but the

parent of all the others. We teach our

children gratitude to shape who they

become. While growing up many of us

were taught to write a thank you note

but that seems to have gone by thewayside with simply an email these days.

While we believe gratitude is a fundamental

virtue there has not been a lot of hard scientific

research on the nature of gratitude and its essential

benefits. But research from Harvard Business School,

the University of Miami and others show that gratitude

1) has tremendous positive benefits, 2) that it must be

cultivated and 3) must be directed toward someone.

The claims made by D. Norville in the book Thank

You Power: Making the Science of Gratitude Workfor You seem like a too-good-to-be-true infomercial.

In one study, waitresses who simply wrote thank

you on the check before handing it to their customers

received on average 11 percent more in tips.

We owe a debt of gratitude to CBC/CIU for the

education, wise counsel, affirmation and lifetime

direction we received while students building in

us the infrastructure for life. We can say thank you

through prayer and financial support. But another way

is to serve on the Alumni Association LeadershipCouncil for the years 2013-2015, which coincides with

CIUs 90th anniversary celebration. We are trying to

grow our Alumni Council and ask that you consider

this unique way of giving back with a thankful heart.

With a grateful heart,

Shirley

FALL 2012

In 1972, Stuart Briscoes message on a Bible character soencouraged me that I vowed right then and there to namemy first child John Mark. (Glad the baby who arrived 18months later was a boy!) That same year my pastors sermon

on John the Baptist convicted me of tolerating sin and spawned

tears of repentance. Recently, a message at my church from

Romans 8 clarified the benefits of Jesus death, infusing

hope in a deflated spirit, spurring me to vent raw emotions

through heartfelt prayer.

Yet I am utterly convinced of one thing pertaining to the

power of sermons. Its the most life-shaping concept Ive

experienced this side of the cross: the most soul-nourishing

sermons well ever hear are the ones we preach to ourselves!

Preaching to yourself is the assertive act of combating

discouragement, temptation, or any harmful thought pattern

with the truth of Gods Word. Its giving a biblically-

informed rebuttal to erroneous or distorted thinking.

What and how a follower of Christ thinks, how he talks

to himself, and whether or not he refutes misconceptions

and false conclusions is a significant factor affecting spiri-

tual vitality and usefulness to God.

The Psalms demonstrate the notion of preaching to ourselves.

Occasionally the writers literally talk to themselves aboutGod and their circumstances. One psalmist talked back to

depression by pointing himself to a brighter future stemming

from faith in God: Why are you in despair, O my soul?

And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in

God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence

(Ps 42:5). In a psalm prompted by an experience of treachery

and opposition, David addressed himself concerning Gods

character: My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my

hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my

stronghold, I shall not be shaken (Ps. 62:5-6). The psalmists

often remind themselves of who God is, what He has done

in the past, and what He has pledged to do for His people i

the future. They battle unbelief, Satans lies, and negativiswith the weapon of truth, rather than wave a white flag wh

despair envelops them.

The practice of preaching to myself is a vital strategy in

my life. I recall a two-year-long span when a shroud of

despondency enveloped me, while trying to stay faithful in

my teaching responsibilities. Neither praying nor Bible readin

nor medical intervention loosened the vise-grip of despair.

On one particular day, as I walked across the CIU campus

toward my classroom, an inner voice taunted me: If God

wanted you to teach today, Hed give you the heart for it.Cancel your class and go home. He isnt with you today.

When is the last time you felt His presence, anyway!?

Instantly, Gods Spirit projected on the screen of my mind

verses I had memorized about His presence, including, but

not limited to, Isaiah 41:10: Do not fear, for I am with you

Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I wil

strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold

you with My righteous right hand. I rehearsed the verses

then addressed myself as I walked: No, I dont feel God

presence today. But His Word, which insists He is with me

is far more reliable than my feelings!

My despondent spirit did not evaporate entirely, yet those

promises buttressed my faith and enabled me to teach

passionately on the subject matter that day.

2012 Alumna of the Year:Kumiko Jean Takeuchi

Alumna of the Year:

Each honoree is an example to the believers

in character, excellence, and in faithfulnessto the high calling, To know Himand to make Him known.

Jean retired as a research scientistin 2008 from Eli Lilly and Com-pany where she served for 20years. She was published in over30 peer-reviewed journals, andfiled over 30 U.S. patents. Shewas involved in the identification

and development of five clinical candidates at

Lilly, two of which have advanced in humanclinical trials as potential therapeutic drugs. Sheearned her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Universityof South Carolina, her M.A. in Chemistry from theCollege of William & Mary, another M.A. inBible and Missions from Columbia InternationalUniversity, and her Diploma in Chemical Engineer-ing from Hiihama Technical College in Japan.

Jean writes, The Lord has blessed me abundantlybeyond my basic needs or even beyond my imagina-

tion. For the last 20 years I have focused on science.I have strived to make life better for people physicallyand emotionally. God has blessed me with the

means and opportunities to engage in global

evangelization without being distracted with

earthly concerns. I would like to focus on Godin whatever I do for the next 20 years, should He

allow me. I would like to strive and impact spiri-

tual lives of the lost. If this is not the Americandream from Gods perspective, then what is?

Alumni Giving Project

Your support through the Alumni Giving Project hasprovided financial aid for hundreds of students toattend CIU this past academic year. William Jones,a junior at CIU, recognizes your faithful giving withthe following words:

Thank you so much for your selfless and generous

participation not only in my education, but in the ed-

ucation of many others and ultimately the advance-

ment of Gods kingdom here on earth. It truly is a

privilege for me to be able to study at a school whose

purpose is to know Christ and make Him known. It

is wonderful for me and many others to study in such

an environment, but it would not be possible without

your generosity.

I am the oldest of six kids in a missionary familyand money is not one of the things that we have

lying about the house. Clothes, socks, shoes, toys -

but not money. I have a brother who is in college and

a sister who also will be soon. So you can imagine

what a blessing it is to my family and me not to have

to bear the full weight of college tuition. Because my

family only had a religious worker visa in the country

where we were serving, I was not able to work and

save up money for university. I wondered how God

would provide. You have been the answer, and I

praise the Lord for his provision through you all.

The Power of One campaign is about

you making a difference an impact

on one student, like William who

will impact the nations with the

message of Christ. Thank you for

your faithful giving!

Thanks!

CIU alumni come from all over the world and identify withmany cultures. We speak different languages and pledgeallegiance to our particular country. We serve our Lord in many

different ways and hold various jobs. We attended CIU at dif-ferent times and were influenced by many faculty members.

The only thing that can unify a group of people so diverse is

the power of God. We all have ONE Spirit living inside us.

Only He is capable of bringing us together, united in spirit,

intent on one purpose (Phil 2:2).

Homecoming 2012 will be a celebration of Gods power to

weave all of our unique personalities, generations, backgrounds

and cultures into ONE body! Be encouraged by stories of what

God is doing in the lives of fellow alumni, current students and

faculty. Hear what God has in store for CIU in the coming

years. Come together to praise our Father and be challengedagain to make Him known where you live!
