A PASSION FOR INSPIRING CHANGE
THREE STUDENTS, THREE DIFFERENT PASSIONS AND THREE UNIQUE
FUTURES, ALL UNITED BY ONE GOD AND AN INCREDIBLE CAUSE.
Jessica Lee, an early childhood education major, Natalie
Hagen, a psychology-studying artist and Tori Rogers, a
business administration major, never thought that they
would work together for a world-wide cause. When the
founders of Inspire India, Aubrey (Short) McClanahan ‘13
and Courtney (Mortensen) Kurtz ‘13, graduated last May, a
need arose for others to take over the student-led ministry
and the three friends found that they were the right people
for the job.
Inspire India originated out of the heartbreaking reality
that sex trafficking is “the fastest-growing business of
organized crime and the third-largest criminal enterprise
in the world,” according to an FBI Law Enforcement
Bulletin in March 2011. Inspire India, founded in 2010,
was created to raise support for Project Rescue, a national
Assemblies of God ministry led by David and Beth Grant
that works to “rescue and restore victims of sexual slavery in
the love and power of Jesus Christ” in six countries: India,
Nepal, Bangladesh, Moldova, Tajikistan and Spain. Even if
they couldn’t work directly with the victims, the students
realized they could use their energy and talents to make a
difference at the Valley Forge Christian College (VFCC)

A PASSION FOR CHILDREN
BRINGING SMILES TO CHILDREN’S FACES THROUGH LOVE,
JOY AND HAPPINESS WITH ETERNAL SIGNIFICANCE.
During spring break 2013, a number of Valley Forge Christian College (VFCC) students
and staff members participated in missions trips around the world. Teams were sent to
multiple locations on three different continents, including trips to India, Albania and
Macedonia, Greece, South Dakota, Trinidad and Nicaragua.
Tyler White, along with twelve other students and two staff members, traveled to Nicaragua
on a life-changing adventure. For ten days they partnered with Metanoia Missions, serving
with missionaries Eric and Shana Ferguson. The participants ministered in local churches,
communities, schools, a center in the middle of a remote village, a pastors’ retreat and a
Bible school.
One of the most memorable opportunities of the trip was the work that this team performed
at an orphanage. “This was a wonderful opportunity to be with children who do not have a
family, and a chance for our team to be family to them,” stated White.
Their goal at the orphanage was to bring smiles to children’s faces, love them and enjoy fun
activities with them. Through song, puppetry and one-on-one ministry, the children were
reminded that God created each one of them for a purpose and has a plan for their lives.
Many of these children know little of the untroubled joys of childhood. “We played a game

GENERAL COUNCIL
This year was a special year for Valley Forge Christian College (VFCC) at the General Council
of the Assemblies of God and National Fine Arts Festival held in Orlando, Fla. during the
first week of August. VFCC had a large and impressive booth space near the main entrance
to the convention hall. This highly visible location allowed the large contingent of VFCC
representatives, including faculty, administration and staff, to meet and interact with thousands
of potential students and their parents. In this way, VFCC had the opportunity to share the
mission of our College with countless old and new friends. As in year’s past, the 48-foot mobile
Media Command Center (mMCC) allowed school-aged AG students interested in music and
digital media to enter and record their music in a soundproof studio and leave with a free CD.

ALUMNI AND FRIENDS RECEPTION
At the 2013 General Council of the Assemblies of God meeting in Orlando VFCC alumni and friends from all over
the world spent a special evening together on Wednesday, August 7, at the Alumni and Friends Reception. Several
hundred members of the extended VFCC family enjoyed food, fellowship and the chance to mingle with alumni from
the 1940s spanning to 2013, and members of the faculty and administration. VFCC announced the kick-off of its 75th
Anniversary at General Council and gave reception attendees a commemorative pin to mark this milestone year.
The room was full of legacy-makers and some of the most dynamic leaders and visionaries within the Assemblies
of God, all joining together to reminisce and celebrate what God is doing through their alma mater. The College
appreciates all who were part of creating a truly memorable evening.

DR. GEORGE O. WOOD ON CAMPUS
VFCC was greatly honored to host Dr. George O.
Wood, Assemblies of God General Superintendent,
as our special guest speaker in chapel in March 2013.
By illustrating stories from his own life, Dr. Wood
drew parallels between John’s Gospel of the loaves and
fishes and how we, through faith and love in God, can
endure tasks that may seem too large or lack the proper
resources. Dr. Wood returned to Chapel during the
75th Anniversary Homecoming celebrations in October
2013 to inspire and encourage the VFCC community.

VFCC hosted an exciting youth ministry conference
known as Refresh – a full day event developed by Phil
Baker, Associate Professor of Church Ministries. The basic
mission is to encourage, train and inspire youth leaders in
the Northeast and greater Philadelphia region. During the
month of February, VFCC also sponsored multiple Refresh
events in the Philadelphia area.
On February 9, 2013, regional ministry leaders assembled
on the VFCC campus for Refresh Youth Leaders
(New York District Youth Director), John Davidson (Oaks
School of Leadership Director) and Dr. Earl Creps (Lead
Pastor of 360 Church in Berkeley, and author of “Reverse
Mentoring” and “Off-Road Disciplines”) were all featured
speakers. Participants were lead in praise by Dan Sarna.
A few weeks later, at Refresh Philly – an expansion of
the initial Refresh conference – youths from all over the
Delaware Valley gathered to hear the Gospel and worship
the Lord. Over 500 teenagers watched in awe as VFCC
students lit up the stage with worship, step dance, rap and
human video performances.
Refresh Philly was implemented in a two-part rally; a
morning session was hosted to train and revitalize leaders
at Germantown Church of the Brethren, followed by an
evening youth rally held at New Covenant Church of

Commencement Ceremony on May 3 when VFCC
presented the graduating class of 2013. The class was
addressed by President Don Meyer and Dr. Mark
Batterson, Pastor of National Community Church
and The New York Times best-selling author of “The
Circle Maker.”
For the members of the class of 2013, graduation
day started with a wonderful Baccalaureate service
in the Flower Chapel. Dr. Bill Clarkson (Business
Department Chair and Senior Class Advisor) and
seniors Jenny Duncan and Adam Yaros delivered
speeches of encouragement and enrichment to
graduates.
Before receiving their degrees, the class of 2013
had the privilege of hearing Dr. Batterson deliver
an inspiring commencement address. Dr. Batterson
reminded the graduates that commencement was
not the end of an era but the start of a whole new
journey; he encouraged listeners to step out in faith,
trust the Lord and pursue God’s will in the days and
years ahead.
Hundreds of spectators, including friends, family
and student peers, sat under the shade of the tall
Green Lane Commons trees as Dr. Kevin Beery, Vice
President of Academic Affairs, and President Don
Meyer congratulated each graduate as they crossed
the stage and were presented with their degree.
Student Government Association (SGA) senior class
president, Emily Flynn, presented a beautiful young

national film competition for Assemblies of God colleges

Chapel on March 23, featured eight short films written,
performed and produced by students all over the country.
Each team was given 48 hours to produce a short film with
redeeming value. To make the task even more difficult, the
participants had to incorporate three randomly selected
components – a sandwich, a soldier and the following line:

COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY
APRIL 17, 2013
On Wednesday, April 17, 2013, the classrooms on the campus of VFCC were
uncharacteristically void of students. Faculty and staff members exchanged professional
attire for jeans and sneakers as the mission of VFCC was expressed through the 11th
Annual Community Service Day.
Each spring, the College serves the local Phoenixville area through Community Service
Day. This is an opportunity for VFCC to give back and serve the needs of the community.
The College demonstrated its enduring commitment to service as students, faculty and staff
first gathered in the Flower Chapel to kick-off the day’s events with an address by State
Senator Andrew Dinniman, a close friend of the College. Following that, the hard work
began with cleaning local roads and parks of debris and trash, light manual labor projects
that included painting fire hydrants and spreading mulch, and landscaping senior citizens’
lawns.
Rev. Jennifer Gale, Vice President of Student Life and the Community Service Day
organizer stated, “We look forward to this day all year long and we are blessed to provide
these services to the people of our community. We get as much, or more, from providing
these services as the persons who receive them.”
7:14 PRAYER
DAILY MORNING PRAYER
Prayer has always been a priority at VFCC. For over 15 years a 7 am Tuesday morning
prayer meeting has been held in the Jack A. Mason Chapel. Extended times of prayer have
also been included as part of many daily chapel services as students huddle around the
altar during the 30 minutes after chapel and before the next classes begin. Special Sunday
evening prayer meetings were also added several times each semester.
Dr. Don Meyer’s chapel messages during 2012 - 2013 were based on 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If
my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins
and will heal their land.” In view of the 7:14 Prayer initiative in the Assemblies of God,
these prayer times were renamed “7:14 Prayer.”
During the spring of 2013, Dr. Mark Batterson spoke at VFCC and his book “Draw the
Circle” became the launching point for a 40 day campus-wide prayer focus during Lent.
Jennifer Gale, Vice President of Student Life, summed up the meetings: “7:14 Prayer gives
an intentional focus for the entire community, a heightened sense of awareness of God
responding to prayer. Some of the partnerships that VFCC is working on have been birthed
out of these prayer meetings and we realize that God has done some amazing things this
year.”

MY VFCC STORY:
PETER REEVES
Peter Reeves had just transferred to Valley Forge Christian

you want from me but … let me finish school.” As a result,
Day & Night Ministries – an evangelistic organization he
established just a few years ago. Moving to VFCC would
place him closer to his hometown of Horsham, Pa., and
allow him to more easily attend school while traveling
about the country to preach and teach. The decision proved
to be fruitful; Day & Night was expanding, school seemed
to be going well and everything was looking up.
Then the pain started. In early September of 2012, Reeves
began to experience a persistent pain in his knee. In an
attempt to be tough, he disregarded the pain and attributed
it to an ACL injury from his years of high school football.
Later the pain grew unbearable, to the point that he could
no longer ignore it. On September 15, 2012, his mother and
girlfriend (now fiancée) rushed him to the hospital.
Surprisingly, doctors initially concluded that nothing was
wrong with Reeves’ knee and sent him home without any
diagnosis or direction. On his own accord, Reeves visited
an orthopedic surgeon later that month who recognized
the need for X-rays when he noticed major swelling in the
knee. The X-rays showed a deformity in the leg which led
to a biopsy and the subsequent discovery of a large tumor
classified as Stage 2 Large B-Cell Lymphoma.
Reeves was immediately put on medication and confined to
a wheelchair. As a preacher, he was forced to put ministry
on hold and temporarily decline all speaking opportunities.

But then, God proved his presence in the midst of Reeves’
storm. Just two weeks after doctors told him he would be
in a wheelchair for several months, he began walking again,
proving that God had not abandoned him. Reeves reflected
on this period of his life by saying, “There was a point where
I didn’t think God could heal – that was the day before I
walked again.”
has taken my ministry to the next level!” he exclaimed.
Since the diagnosis, Reeves has been invited to speak for
cancer victim support organizations (including Livestrong,
Hope for Cancer Patients, and Angie’s Foundation) in
addition to churches and other ministries. In Reeves’ words,
