"God's works are so great, worth a
Lifetime of study—endless enjoyment!
Splendor and beauty mark his craft;
His generosity never gives out. His
miracles are his memorial."
Psalm 111:1
 
Even in the 1800's, Manhattan Island was a gateway to the world. More than a gateway, actually. The amazing mix of cultures and nationalities was transforming New York City, earning its nickname, "The Melting Pot."
 
Today, New York City is a microcosm of the world. With so many nations represented, so many cultures expressed, and so many tongues spoken, crossing the street in Manhattan can feel like crossing an international border.
 
The world has come to New York City, and for a missionary-minded college like Nyack, that means a world of opportunity is at our doorstep. We have the potential to touch countries and cultures right in our backyard. This is precisely why we are embarking on the most important ministry opportunity of our lives: "The Miracle in Manhattan."
 
Why do we call this work a "miracle?" How else would you characterize a calling much bigger than yourself? We are depending on "divine intervention," but we know that friends of Nyack are cheering us on to a victorious outcome…a praise report that will bring glory—not to us—but to God.
 
 
All for Jesus,

Michael G. Scales
