During his program at the University of Aberdeen, Jordan will spend most of his time researching and writing his dissertation. Unlike American doctoral programs, Jordan will jump directly into his dissertation without further coursework. He will have regular meetings with his supervisor to discuss his progress as well as bi-weekly research seminars with the other doctoral candidates in Systematic Theology. Jordan's current research interest is in the area of ecclesiology (the study of the Church).

Prayer Requests:
1. Please pray that Jordan's studies will prepare him for fruitful work in God’s kingdom and that his heart would be encouraged and challenged through God's Word.
2. Pray that we will find affordable housing close to the campus as we will not have a car there.
3. Pray that we will find a church home with strong community.
4. Please pray that Krisi's current employer will allow her to keep working from Scotland.
5. Please pray that God will provide for our tuition costs of $17,000 per year (for more info regarding our financial support see the link to the right).
Krisi and Jordan,
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting adventure for you! We will be in St. Andrews in 2013 for Charlie's international meeting for SBL. Jordan, you should look into the organization (Society of Biblical Literature). Perhaps you can present at their meeting! Can't wait to hear all about your journey.
