Tues W3031 prayer, Qcommons 10/24, Hiking 10/26, and more!

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship,

Isaiah writes, From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him (64:4). Dear ones, praying that as you finish out first term with its final exams and projects and papers or work on research projects or grant applications or anything else set before you, you remember that the Lord your God is with you wherever you go, faithful to complete the good work he has started in you, for your good and his glory. May he - and he alone - be your strength and your song!

Tomorrow (Tues Oct 22), Room W3031 will be open for prayer or lunch or fellowship; unstructured time to be with each other before the Lord.

Biostatisticians:
For those of you looking into a biostats career... a PHCF alumnus (Sherlly Xie) wanted to share that the American Statistical Association (ASA:statisticians::APHA:MPHers) has a interest group called International Christian Statisticians (ICS). ICS just began offering a mentorship program: sign up to be mentor or mentee; get paired up with a mentee/mentor. The coordinator of this mentorship program is Dr. Jason Wilson at Biola University.
