From the President
Dear Parents,
Recently I received an encouraging note from one of our beloved parents—a father who soon will join us for Commencement.
He wanted me to know how grateful he is for Wheaton College, not only for the difference he sees it making in the lives of his beloved son and daughter, but also for the difference it has made in his own life. His Wheaton students frequently commend various chapel talks for his edification (“This would be good for you to listen to, Dad”). They also share what they are learning in and out of the classroom, and sometimes there are lessons he can apply to his own life, work, and ministry.
Hopefully, you can relate to this father’s testimony. You are seeing gospel transformation in the life of your Wheatie. You tune in to our chapel services from time to time. As a result, you are having your own Wheaton experience, and this is making a difference in your Christian experience.
I hope you can also relate to the father’s closing line. Wheaton College, he wrote, is graduating students who can thrive in the darkness and pay the price.
We count on the prayers of our Wheaton parents to make that aspiration a reality, by the power of the Holy Spirit. We want our students and our graduates to thrive, even in the darkness, and to honor Jesus wherever they go, no matter the price.
In Christ’s service,
Philip Ryken
President
