The best part about unveiling a ne w school year is that w e imagine it could be the best year yet, and indeed it could. W e mak e resolutions about getting better grades, being a better friend, and of course, having a lot of fun! Another perk of college life is receiving packages from family and friends. The excitement increases as w e tear off each piece of tape and cut the string to see the secrets inside. The contents are precious because someon e thought of you and mad e an effort on your behalf to sho w ho w muc h they care for and appreciate you. In the sam e way, w e should approach Jesus as a marvelous gift to b e unwrapped . Th e On e wh o gave u p everything for us so that w e might have life deserves our utmost devotion and attention. At a time whe n tomorro w is unpredictable for our families, friends and country, a strong relationship with Christ is mor e important than eve r before . Ou r uncertainties also provide the perfect opportunity for Christ to unwra p us, exposing us to His peace, grace, merc y and love.

Liberty University began with God giving avision toone man-Jerry Falwell. Throughout theyears, God hascontinued toblessDr.Falwellwith a team ofGodly men and women who work togethertoimplement thevision, along with countless supporters who have prayed and sacrificially given to bring fruition tothevision.
With the largestfreshman class inthe history ofthe University,the 2002-03 academic yearhasundoubtedly been amemorable one Continued growth has required Liberty to pursue expansion ofcampus facilities. The acquisition of the property formerly known as Ericcson and the new residential housing offerexcitingopportunities forfuture growth.
"My visionis tobuildaworld class universityforbible-believing young peoplethatwill one day reach 25,000 studentsand train them as Champions forChrist. I see a greatenlargement inthestudent body,aswell as facilities to accommodate our growing population, "states our Founder and Chancellor."
Dr.Falwellconfidently claimsthefaithfulnessofGod,just ashe has throughout the University'sexistence.
"The whole ofthe Christian life is learning todepend on God. God will providefor usthewisdom only He can giveand alsothefinances needed tosee continued growth."
While the growing enrollment could be attributed to Dr Falwell's active rolein recruitment,he tends tothinkdifferently.
"Christ isthe central personality. W e teach everything from the Christian worldview and promote personal relationshipswith God Christ is the reason we exist and the reason we continue toseeyoung people make the commitment to grow and study at Liberty University, "Dr. Falwell explains.
One thing is certain, with God as the central focus and Dr.Falwelll following the Lord'sleading, Liberty University will continue togrow asthe vision unfolds and becomes reality.

"The whole ofthe Christian lifeis learning todepend on God. God will provide us the wisdom only He can give and also the finances needed to see continued growth."
As with pastyearsforthis young institution, the 2002-03 academic yearhasbeen one ofgrowth and excitingchanges. One constant, however, amid thechange hasbeen thecommitment ofLiberty University President, Dr.John M. Borek,Jr., to fulfillthe vision God gave Dr.Falwell almost 40 yearsago.
"My number one goal while serving as President isto assist our Chancellor and Founder inaccomplishing hisvision to build a world class universityforBible-believingyoung people."
The Universityexperienced much successduringtheyear.The new School of Law received approval from the State of Virginia and other academic programs continued toenhance theirofferings. With respectto space and technology, new facilities were acquired, and renovations to existingfacilities occurred
No less important was the employment of Godly faculty with outstandingcredentials.
"Recruiting and retaining Godly faculty,staff and students is our number one goal. Reachingthis goalwill requireinfrastructure improvements and quality enhancement inall we do,"explains Dr.Borek. "Liberty must remain diligentinits commitment to provide a nurturing environment that encourages studentsto excel."
As theundergraduate and graduate studentbody continuestogrow, Dr. Borek's goal isto have Liberty University recognized for academic excellence. Hisdesire is forthe University to become a world-class leader among institutions of higher learning,while remaining unwavering as an evangelical, Christian beacon.
Liberty'scampus will continue togrow and change,butone thing is certain, we willeagerly step intothe future with strong leadership. W e all look forward toseeing God's continuing planforLiberty University "unwrapped."

I Samuel 20:2
ScareMare isa ministry conducted by the Center for Youth Ministryfor nineeveningseach October.Itis callec a "House ofDeath"because thenumerous rooms portray scenes of death.The tour winds through the house and ends by making the person face the certainty of death through an evangelisticmessage.
Since 1972,thousands of people from Lynchburg and surroundingareashavemade theirway through the House of Death and its maze of horrors. The tour lasts approximately 20 minutes and thoroughly depicts the realityof life.
Scaremare's purpose is in acknowledgment of the Scriptures'warning that "faith without works is dead" (James 2:17)and inachievement ofthe Great Comission of world evangelization established in Matt.28:18-20. It affirms the Christian world view and offerssensible manifestation ofGod's loveforall people.
Thousands ofvolunteer hours go intotheproject. It takes 100's ofstudents to operate the house each night.

BornonApril28,1972in Houston,Texas,PatrickAndrews grew upattending church on a regularbasis.It was not untilAugust 1,1990thathe became a bom-again Christian. Whilevisiting youth camp in Dallas,he recalls the speaker discussing the importanceofhaving a personal relationshipwithJesusChrist, as opposed to simply being a "nice guy". This allowed him to realize what he had been missing inhis life.
In 1993, Patrick made the decision to attend Liberty Universityafterbeinginvitedtovisitthecollegebyhisroommate ChrisEvans, a relativeofMack Evans, member ofThomas Road BaptistChurch.As a resultofthisvisit, he decidedtoenroll as a full-time student inspring of1994.
During spring break ofhisfirst semester here,Partick's relaxingbreak and entirelife was interrupted by aterrible
car accident. Afterthe accident, he was forced to undergo years of mentaland physicaltherapyin order to sustain a full recovery. Looking back at the accident has given Patricka new appreciationforbeing alivetoday. Because ofhis triumph, Patrickwas given a full scholarship from Dr. Falwell in 1998. He acknowledges Dr. Falwell as the main reason he is atLibertytoday. After graduating from the Liberty Bilble Institute in May of 2003 he plans on majoring in speech communication at Liberty. His current interests include photography,and reading books by John Grisham and John McCarther. Every Liberty student knows who Patrick is because of his habit of wearing bright hunter's orange. He began wearingorangeinJanuaryof 1998 after purchasing his first orangeshirtfromthecommunity box of LBI.He sewed a button on the collarso he could wear a tiewith it and remain indresscode. He feels thatorangeisavibrant, eye-catching colorthatcorresponds wellwithhis outgoing personality.

Rebel Cry, written and directed by Linda Nell Cooper, becam e the highlight of the year. The play focused on the final days of Petersburg and Richmond in the early spring of 1865.

The campus pastors are a dedicated group, accessible to students, faculty and staff. They provide conversation, counseling, support and prayer. The pastors organize events for spiritualimprovementand development, including university convocations, hall Bible studies,campus church,volunteer services and yearly events,such as Spiritual Emphasis Week. Worship is at the center ofcollege life at LU. The Christiandedicationof the faculty, staff and students creates an atmosphere ofpositivepeer influence in which to study,work and live.The contributions of the campus pastors are essential to this atmosphere.
The campus pastors were pleased to welcome Dr. Rob Jackson back to theLiberty family afteratwo-year absence. Dr. Jackson is the SeniorCampus Pastor and VicePresident for SpiritualLife.

Mission:
In recognition of the Scriptural admonition that "faith without works isdead" (James2:17) and in fulfillment of the Great Commission of world evangelization found in Matt. 28:18-20,the Christian Community Service component of the curriculum serves to affirm theChristianworldview and provide a practical expression of God's love for mankind.
"We atLiberty University require Christian/Community Service so that ouryoung people get an action-oriented curriculum.When you goto aChristianUniversityyou need not only to learn the information in theclassroom, but you need totake itoutto the people;outtothe neighborhoods and the communities; the hospitalsandthehomes.Christian Service for us isa part of the Liberty curriculum; a part of the action-oriented curriculum,and it shallever beapart of Liberty."

What would Thursday nights be without the occasional pizza or box of Krispy Kreme donuts? All in all, prayer groups are just another example ofhow LibertyUniversityprovidestheperfect environment forfun and fellowshipwith both God and fellow men.
"For this reason we also since the day we heard it did not cease to pray foryou and ask thatyou may be filledwith the knowledge ofHiswillin all wisdom and spiritual understanding;thatyou may walkworthy ofthe Lord, fully pleasing Him,being fruitfulinevery good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with allmight, according to His glorious power, forall patience and longsuffering withjoy."

In the Secret
Regardless of all dynamic spiritual events, memorable fun times,and rigorous academic demands,many studentswould agreethatthe time they treasure most is their personal fellowship with God. Indeed those who learn to prioritize their time with the Creator and Saviour are those who leave this University most fulfilledand most directed. At any given time, on any day, devoted students can be found seeking God in a variety oflocations, both on and offCampus. The purpose ofthis school willcertainly be preserved, as long as themen and women who attendherepayclose attention toChrist.

Associate professor of English, is an active participant in what he calls, "commemorating history."Rowlette joined the eleventh Virginia Company G. Lynchburg Home Guard in1989, agroup thatparticipatesin Civil War reenacting. The originalunit, which foughtin the CivilWar,was involved inthe BattlesofGettysburg, Manassas and thesurrenderatAppomattox.Because there aren'tas many Northern re-enactors,Rowlette occasionally dons the blue tofight forthe 45thNew York unit, which originiallywas composed ofGerman immigrants Rowlette participates insixto eight reenactmentsayearand theyincludedemonstrations forthepublic, ladies'teas, period balls, Sunday church services and,ofcourse,a battle.
A love of history and the factthatreenacting is agreatfamily activitydrew Rowlette totheevents. HisdaughtersDelanieand Karen participatewithhim. If the Civil Warwere being fought today, Rowlette saysthathewould fightfortheNorth. However, could he travelback intime,Rowlette saysinthe 1860's he would have fought forthe South. ,
It runs inthe family. Kenny Rowlette and hisdaugher, LU graduate Delanie Rowlette,pose with a fellow CivilWar reenactor.

Great Expectations, Me t and Gained
LInthe game offootball, challenges are not a foreign concept. The game consistently batters its teams,not only inthe obvious physical element, but in its rigorous mental demands aswell. Obstacles such as injuries, ineligibilities and lossofmorale can be the most damaging to a team. LU's football team faced many obstacles thisyear and met them allmagnificently.
The Big South Conference welcomed football to it's line-up of sports thisyear and Liberty played an integral part inthishistoric addition. The 2-9 Flames played nationally ranked teams such as Appalachian State and Eastern Kentucky and though both resulted in losses, the players see thisas a positive experience.
"Whether we win or lose doesn't matter,it's how the game is played," said offensive lineman JackieBurgess.
"It'sa learning experience forthe whole team," said defensive lineman Rashaq Barkley. "We expect bigger and better things inthe years to come."

It hasbeen ayearofchange. W e leaveherewith more than we had when we came.A lot lessmoney perhaps, but morelove, more passion,more knowledge,more Wisdom, more Truth. W e came with ourselves, but aswe laiddown,we werelifted up. As we bowed we were raisedtofindthatlife is necessarily what we dreamed it would be ...it is much better. We leave committed to press on, looking back only to smile atthe memories thatwere planted here. It is difficultto let go. On the edge of vacant dreams, tomorrow isnot as certain as yesterday.However,ofthisone thingwe can be sure: As we turnthepage tothe nextchapter ofour individualepics, each stage of lifewill offer something new to engage our hearts, something greaterto graspourinterests, and attheend ofevery new daywe willfall asleepembracingsome place,someperson, something thatonce againwe won'twant tolet go.Forthose ofuswho are Christ'stheend isalwaysthebeginning. Sorejoice classof2003.Rejoiceall you who continue your educationat Liberty University. One day God willbringyou toan eternity where all faithwillturn tovictory, all hope willbe reality, and all ofthethingswe never wanted toleavewillretreatinto the shadow oftheone Life, theone Person, theone Place wewill never have tolet go. Then notoniy our lives butall life will b completely unwrapped .
The End.
