I was quoted in Sioux Falls Seminary’s latest news release, Seminary Again Sees Record Enrollment. Those of you who have invested in my seminary career may be interested in reading it:
Beginning in Fall 2011, the Omaha program is partly a contributing factor to the seminary’s growth. A total of 15 students have enrolled in Omaha courses for the Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 semesters–a number that seminary officials believe will continue to increase as they continue to visit with churches and individuals.Mike Harvat, Worship and Student Ministries Director for Community Covenant Church in Omaha, NE, had been praying for the opportunity to further his education without relocating for years. He was thrilled to hear about the seminary’s new Master of Divinity program in Omaha and seized the opportunity to further his education while continuing his current ministry role.
“I am very thankful for the opportunity to plug in to Sioux Falls Seminary while continuing to serve in my church. I am already applying what I have learned in my classes; my relationship with Christ, my approach to ministry, and my teaching and preaching have all been affected.”

I pray that the fruits of my labor may become increasingly apparent in the work I do at CCC – not merely for personal betterment, but for the glory of God. As always, I appreciate your prayers!
And speaking of prayers, I have a specific request: I feel as though I’m in the “thick of it” right now. I’ve been doing a lot of reading and writing, and in the coming weeks I’ll be spending a good amount of my time at the library working on a number of research papers. Please pray for me to keep on top of things and for me to learn and grow from my experiences. Thank you!
