Yesterday (Saturday, December 12, 2009) was the 3rd annual Andrew's Good News Christmas party. This was the 2nd year it was held at Davis College and it was a wonderful event. This year the event was divided into two separate parties to help with the congestion that was an issue last year. There were still a lot of people that attended and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. The kids were entertained in Lowe Hall by Clowns and Puppets, while Adults could enjoy a cup of coffee in the Broadway cafe. Games and Family pictures were taken in the Klee Dining room in the basement of Chatlos-Davis and food was served in the Robb Gymnasium. Several students, Alumni, local groups, and local churches provided a wide range of music in the Gym and Cafe. Most importantly and the reason for the whole event the Gospel message was shared. It was shared by Dr. Dino Pedrone and several students. Several people got saved last night and several seeds were planted, which makes it worth it all. It was a great event. If you were not able to make it this year we encourage you to come next year.

Feel free to Register here or learn more about it from the Andrew's Good New Christmas Party website.

Andrew's Good News Ministries as created in 2007 for the Franklin Graham Festival. The name comes from John 1.40-41: "One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ)." Andrew brought his brother Simon Peter to meet Christ, and that is what Andrew's Good News Ministries is trying to do, bring others to Christ through different events.

Come Join us on Saturday and Celebrate the true
Reason for the Season...the birth of Christ

Merry CHRISTmas

Such an amazing time was had at the Andrew's Good News Christmas Party at Davis College on Saturday, December 6, 2008. Somewhere around 4000 people (not sure of the exact total) came to the campus. As you can tell from the pictures above a lot was going on all at one. People in Lowe Hall, Klee Dining Hall, Robb Gym, and Cafe all at once. It was so exciting! The Gospel was preached and I know of at least one salvation, though I think many more may have been saved and I know many seeds were planted. It was a great time for the Whole Family. Praise the LORD! I don't think there has been this many people on the campus since John A. Davis' funeral when there was around 3000 to 4000 people on the Knoll in 1934.

Business World Gets a Look Inside Davis College

From News 34 News:

Businessmen and women from throughout the community visited Davis College today for the school's Friends of Davis chapel.
The college on Riverside Drive in Johnson City holds a President's chapel every Tuesday, but this week's also invited members from National Pipe, Newman Development, M&T Bank and the governor's office.
Davis College President Dino Pedrone says the goal is to introduce business people to the school, and then ask them to come back in the future to speak about their careers.
Dino Pedrone says, "There are so many things that our students can go in to eventually. And we want them to have that spirit to be able to go in to those things. So, yes, they'll be talking about some of those things. Not in this chapel today, but they'll be doing that down the road."
And Pedrone says the community is welcome to get to know the school as well.
This Saturday, 12 local churches are helping Davis College put on a Christmas party from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
It's free and open to all.
