C.S. Lewis Institute Seattle

When you think back to life before your response to the gospel, your repentance of sin and living life according to your own ways and placing trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, do you now recognize the ways in which the Holy Spirit was actively working within you even before you became aware of his presence?

A few weeks ago, all across the country, men and women received a certificate that looked a lot like this one. This piece of paper is a small token representing the culmination of a transformative yearlong dedication toward becoming wholehearted disciples of Jesus Christ who will articulate, defend, share, and live their faith in their personal and public lives.

The Fellows program focuses on discipleship of both heart and mind. It involves many hours of Bible Study, dozens upon dozens of classic readings, monthly lectures, group processing, personal spiritual mentoring and accountability – all in the context of listening and sharing among a small group of Christ-oriented believers.

Each year in June, those experiences and this certificate mark the end of the beginning for an outgoing Fellows class. As the 2024 - 2025 Fellows embark on this next leg of their discipleship journey after this year of preparation, the 2025 - 2026 Fellows are just beginning that same transformational journey.

Would you pray for those Fellows, incoming and outgoing, that their impacts on one another, their churches, and the world bring glory to God? And if you are not yet involved with the CS Lewis Institute, would you pray about your own journey as a wholehearted disciple of Jesus Christ and a future as 2026-2027 Fellow?
