Penn View will be starting Spring Revival in just one short week. As planning for anything else in life, such as weddings, babies, new moves, the students and faculty on campus have been preparing their hearts and minds for the upcoming Revival. Penn View has many memories of the past revivals where God has come in such amazing ways and poured out His Spirit on souls. Yet, in the hearts of all here, we are looking for more than a past recollection or even a present feeling! We want our hearts and lives to be ever changed! We want our evangelists, Paul and Nancy Grey, to be used of God in a great way! Prayer meetings have already been going on, asking God to come and revitalize our school. We truly want His will and His way here at Penn View, starting now!

Penn View Bible Institute Division of Music presented “The Heart and Spirit of Christmas” produced and arranged by Lucas Shrout.

Set in a Victorian lanscape the first half of the musical represented the Spirit of the season with home, family and friends. The second half effectively depicted the heart of the season with the story of the Nativity and the Savior’s birth. The musical was complete with full costume, elegant narrations, beautiful scenery and elegant paintings by various on campus artists.

The musical was presented two nights with nearly 1400 people in attendance. Many of the guests visited the ”Victorian Sweet Shoppe” in the Miller Dining Center for a time of fellowship and refreshments following the musical.

To help meet budget needs and special projects on campus, walk-a-thons are part of our campus activities. This Fall, Elementary, High School and Institute students joined by faculty and staff (a total of 217 walkers!) –along with sponsors– made this fund-raiser a success. 

Laura Sprenkel (Elementary), Darren Durkee (High School) and Martin Handfield (Institute) collected the most amount of money in their respective divisions. We praise the Lord for this added income to help us during this first semester!

Our annual fall revival was a time of real spiritual refreshment.  Rev. Dwight Rine –associate pastor at the  God’s Missionary Church in Lebanon, PA– was our evangelist.  The Lord blessed in a special way  during each service with relevant messages and enriching music.  During the Friday morning service a great number  of our young people responded to an invitation after a  pointed message on holiness.  

We praise the Lord for the spiritual advance of each student.

More than just a tradition, Harvest Home is always a time of reflection and thanksgiving. This year we enjoyed the piano renditions of Mr. Lucas Shrout our Penn View Director of Music. Performing songs from his new CD To the King as well as a special Thanksgiving arrangement, Mr. Shrout led us in an exhilarating concert of worship and praise. 

The event  theme was enhanced by some students who depicted a first Thanksgiving meal by dressing as Pilgrims and Indians.

Select staff and students beautifully decorated the tabernacle with a wonderful display of the food items donated to help provide quality meals for our school family.

LEBANON, PA –  On the evening of September 27th, over 325 people gathered for a black bow-tie event of great food and wonderful fellowship in the activity center of the God’s Missionary Church in Lebanon, PA.  Coordinated by Leonard Raub and Larry Shuey, this benefit banquet was a blessing to all.  

Wholesome, beautiful entertainment provided by the Music Division of Penn View added to the evening event.  The complimentary banquet meal –prepared by alumnus Dwight Rine– was followed by an auction coordinated by Leonard Raub.   The participants enjoyed bidding on many items including those from the Ernie Peia estate. 

Some who attended said:  “I’ve never been to anything like this before!”  They gave liberally to the benefit of Penn View.   Personal invitations went out to many local business leaders and they too found the evening to be a unique experience.   The total of the dinner donations and the auction income approached $14,000.

We give God all the praise and glory for what was accomplished for Penn View and His Kingdom in that one short evening.  We encourage other churches or groups of churches to sponsor similar fund-raising events for Penn View.  We would like to assist you in getting one set up to benefit our school.  Thanks goes to the Lebanon God’s Missionary Church congregation for their hard work in preparation for this benefit event!

The Interchurch Holiness Convention’s annual School of the Prophets convened at Penn View Bible Institute, September 22-24, 2008, on the theme “I Will Build My Church.”   Donald Myers and Barry Arnold captivated the evening crowds with the encouragement that Jesus Christ will build His Church. Robert Luther, Michael Williams, Leroy Adams, Larry Petit, and Darrell Stetler presented substantial papers, each followed by an insightful responder.

Luther challenged us to the balance between ministry and patriotism. Williams stretched us to consider how to communicate with postmodern listeners. Adams encouraged us to hold fast to the faith, even through decline, depression, and difficulty. Petit reminded us that we grow in community with other Christians.

Stetler drew our hearts together toward the purity required by Scripture and proclaimed by holiness churches. We are to build the church by leading people to the experience of a pure heart. Christians whose hearts are in harmony with God will have harmony with each other. In a second session, Stetler warned that we can lose our heritage at the “generational change points.”   He urged us to plan carefully to pass the heritage on to our children. Leonard Sankey graciously wove the sessions together so that we had something to think about, something to pray about, and something to get busy doing!

Thank you to all who participated to make this a great event.
