2021 in Review and Wishing You All A Merry Christmas & Blessed 2022

2021 was full of answers to prayer and world-wide blessings for our Nicea Group, despite the continuing Coronavirus Craziness globally. We praise the Lord that our colleagues Alwyn Swanepoel survived his trial with Covid and Beverlee Atwood is now officially "in remission" after her treatment for cancer. This year Nicea was privileged to help launch the new Cornerstone Work & Worldview Institute, an exciting new vocational and Christian worldview training program based in Carbondale, Illinois. We provided online instructional services to Uganda Christian University in Mukono, Uganda. We are assisting Evangelia University in Anaheim, California, with its bid for the accreditation (ATS) of its advanced theological programs. Roy & Beverlee Atwood worked in Albania for 2.5 months at Nehemiah Gateway University on two reaccreditation site visits (TRACS & FIBAA) and four modules in their graduate program. The Atwoods are also helping Albanian Evangelical Churches in Korçë and Pogradec develop theological education opportunities for their current and aspiring pastors and church leaders. Please keep all these Kingdom servants and ministries in your prayers. For the privilege to labor and fellowship with these wonderful people, churches, universities, ministries, and organizations in 2021, we are most grateful to our Triune Lord. To all our Nicea Group clients, friends, colleagues, family, and fellow Kingdom travelers--past, present, and future--we wish you all a Merry Christmas & God's richest blessings in 2022.
