My time in the U.K. was great. My friends there are passionate about God and walking with Him. Hence it was wonderful to spend time with them. I trust that God, by His grace, used my teaching time on Sunday in the U.K. for His glory. Praise God for the time I had with my friends and the oppurtunity to share God’s word in the U.K..
Last week and the first part of this week I taught New Testament Introduction (NT Intro). While I was in the UK, I found out that there was not enough students for the Elements of Greek (EoG) class to make, the class I had planned to teach. So my first class was switched from EoG to NT Intro. Very thankfully I have taught NT Intro before so the change was fairly managable. All the students in NT Intro are students I had last year (hence you have recently seen a video with their prayer requests (cox-net.com/2018_eog.html). Praise God that NT Intro went well and pray that God would help the students intergrate the material into their thinking and application of the New Testament to their lives and ministry.
In our Febuary update, I mention the “backend” services I have been working on (setting up accounts, getting biographical information, writing support profiles, etc…) to support relationship development for Africa Theological Seminary (ATS). Please pray that I can get all this “backend” stuff finished in the next week or two.
Lastly, I have yet to hear anything from the external review of my PhD. Please keep praying for God’s favor. If my external review takes the “normal” amount of time (although “normal” seems to rarely apply to the Cox family), I should hear something by next week.
Below are a couple of pictures of me speaking at ATS chapel.
