As Christmas approaches, I find myself reflecting on the meaningful connection we share with churches like yours. It’s a privilege to witness the ways God is using you to shine His light in a world that so desperately needs it.


This season reminds us of the hope and peace we have in Emmanuel—God with us. My prayer for you, your families, and your congregations is that you experience the abundant love and joy of Christ as we celebrate His birth.


In this Christmas update, I’m excited to share about some of the incredible ways God is working through Prairie College. From our Takeover Teams program, where our music students and preachers serve congregations like yours, to our Aviation Program, which is equipping students to bring the Gospel to the most remote corners of the globe, there is so much to celebrate. I’ll also highlight our upcoming Deeper Youth Conference, an event designed to inspire and challenge young people in their faith.


Thank you for your faithfulness and for the ways you support the mission of Prairie College. Merry Christmas and blessings for a joyful and fruitful New Year!

Spotlight on Our Takeover Teams

One of our most impactful initiatives is our Takeover Teams program. Through this ministry, our talented music students lead worship and perform during church services, while our student and faculty preachers deliver encouraging messages to uplift your congregations. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to give your pastors a much-deserved break.


For the 2024–2025 season, we’re thrilled to announce that our Takeover Teams will be 

involved in 35 events across various churches. What a joy it is to partner with you in glorifying God and building His Kingdom through this ministry!

Highlighting Our Aviation Program

At Prairie College, we’re proud to offer programs that equip students for impactful service. One of our most distinctive offerings is the Aviation Program, which has been training pilots for decades to serve in mission aviation and commercial flight.


Our graduates take the Gospel to remote communities and bring hope to places that are often hard to reach. With state-of-the-art facilities and a Christ-centered curriculum, this program prepares students to soar—both in their aviation careers and in their walk with God.
