Ready for Revival

Rachel — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:58:30 +0000

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!

Let it snow!

The campus of PVBI is a winter wonderland! So far we have received about 19 inches of snow in February.

Stephen Paulus stays busy with the snow plow, and the students and staff enjoy the opportunity to get in some winter recreation. Skiing, snowboarding, sledding and ice skating have all been part of this year’s winter fun.

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.

From Our FIRST Graduate from PNG

tc2 — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 21:11:26 +0000

Tobias Nangunduo graduated from Penn View in 1996 as a ministerial student with a vision and a burden for his people. He writes, “I’m proud to be the first Papua New Guinean to attend PVBI and graduate with an Advanced Diploma in Ministerial Studies. I’m glad I had chosen Penn View Bible Institute over other Bible colleges in the USA. My life was truly influenced by many godly people during my stay at Penn View. I shall never forget that as long as I live.”

After serving as an assistant and later as principal in a national Christian school, in 2005, he started the Institute of Christian Academy as an outreach into the homes of the inner city. Presently, his school has 769 registered students and he envisions 1,500 students within the next two years. Praise the Lord for Penn View graduates who have a vision and then make it a reality!

FALL WALK-A-THON

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!

Fall Revival

tc2 — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 21:02:01 +0000

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.

HARVEST HOME: A Time of Praise

tc2 — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:00:42 +0000

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.

Fall Benefit Banquet & Auction

tc2 — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 20:58:57 +0000

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!
