I’m not sure whether there is always more global upheaval around Christmas, or it is just that I notice it more as I contemplate the coming of the Prince of Peace. What I am noticing in the Christmas story this year is how many times people are told “don’t be afraid.” At the end of the newsletter is a link to LCC International University’s advent devotion series from this year, and even though advent is almost over, I invite you to take “comfort and joy” in the reflections about Peace on Earth. Come, Lord Jesus.

As you head into your holiday breaks, take some time to connect with colleagues around the world through the Contact newsletter.

You will learn about:

• New institutional and affiliate members in India, Africa, and Europe

• Visits and connections across the global  network

• New degree programs for member institutions

• Exciting reviews and updates about INCHE 50th Anniversary conferences around the world.

• Please note the January 14, 2025 deadline for registration for the Global Conference in Europe.

Enjoy your reading. If you have questions about how your members can access the INCHE quarterly newsletter, please contact us at office@inche.one. 

We look forward to seeing many of you in person in 2025!
