Do you know about this dear godly lady? You can read a short biography here.
Man of Dust by Elisabeth Elliot
"As we have worn the likeness of the man made of dust, so we shall wear the likeness of the heavenly man" (1 Cor 15:49 NEB).
What a word of hope for us when we are discouraged with our own sinfulness! The old Adam is always there, rising in rebellion against the new life which Christ has given us. There is constant struggle, daily reminders that we are yet very unholy, very un-Christlike, very dusty. But a day will come when even I, with all my glaring faults, will wear the likeness of the heavenly Man. This gives me ammunition to fire at the Accuser. I shall be like Christ--just wait! You'll see!

Thank you for the kind words about Messiah College. I wonder if your son would like to participate in a project our Marketing team is working on ... highlighting student accomplishments as a means to inspire prospective students. Please call me if you would like to discuss further.
