Looking for a ‘miracle in Manhattan’

In this economy, you don’t see many institutions expanding.
But Nyack College, which is run by the evangelical Christian & Missionary Alliance, is looking for a new property in Manhattan. Nyack College—one of only 2 Christian colleges with a presence in NYC—is currently using two rented spaces in the city.
Tomorrow (Nov. 11), Nyack College will hold a global hour of prayer from 5 to 6 p.m. at its various locations—including its main Nyack campus and its affiliated Alliance Theological Seminary in Nyack.
Students, alumni and staff, across the country and around the world, will seek divine support for their real estate search.
The college explains:
*****
If you’re familiar with the breadth and the depth of what we’re trying to accomplish through “The Miracle in Manhattan,” you know this project bears the perfect name. The dictionary defines a miracle as “an event that appears to be contrary to the laws of nature and is regarded as an act of God.” Indeed raising the funds necessary to establish a permanent home for our Manhattan campus today is beyond the pale of anything we could hope to achieve on our own.
We need divine intervention.
The truth is Nyack’s history unfolds like a tapestry of divine intervention. Since 1882, God has worked in mighty ways through thousands of men and women—Nyack alumni and students—committed to the legacy of service to others and Kingdom-building—all to glorify Him.
With every great accomplishment we’ve realized, prayer has been the key to open doors. Our best efforts have always begun on bended knee.

The world of religion, we don't have to tell you, is vast. The purpose of this blog is for Stern to note, flag and comment on some of the more interesting religious developments on the scene – weighty and quirky, somber and laughable, far away and just down the road. He won't interpret Scripture, take sides in conflicts or judge anyone. But he will take advantage of the journalist's license to observe.
