The next meeting of the Christian Faculty Forum will be held on Tuesday, December 3, from 12:30 to 1:30 in Tate 473 with Dr. Carlos Sibley as our speaker. Carlos’ topic will be “What’s In Your Bag? How God Multiplies What You Offer Beyond the Classroom” (abstract below). Carlos has been the senior pastor at Watkinsville First Baptist Church since 2000 and has a love for college students and those who influence them. He has influenced, counseled, prayed for, and challenged many UGA students, administrators and professors during his tenure at WFBC. Carlos earned his horticulture degree at Auburn, his MDiv from Mid-America Seminary in Memphis, and his Doctorate of Ministry degree from Gordon-Conwell Seminary in South Hamilton, MA. He has a family connection to UGA as his older brother earned his PhD in Horticulture from UGA and is the former department head of the Horticulture department at Auburn University.

A light lunch will be provided to everyone who sends in their RSVP by 5 pm, Monday, December 2, by filling out the form below. If you plan to attend but don’t need a lunch provided, please RSVP and indicate that as well.

Abstract: In John 6, the young boy took his loaves of bread and fish and offered them to Jesus, and Jesus took them and multiplied it in the lives of others in ways the young boy could never have imagined. In the same way God can take what professors offer to Him and multiply their impact on others far beyond those they have in their classroom. This talk will share personal examples of the impact of professors on Carlos’ life that he never took a class from and ways God might choose to work in the lives of those in the academy.
