That I May Know JESUS And The Power Of HIS Resurrection --- Philippians 3:10

Wheaton College has had its share of  notable graduates --- including evangelist Billy Graham and martyred missionary Jim Elliott.  These men left Wheaton with the college motto engraved on their hearts:  "For CHRIST" and HIS kingdom."

In the days that followed September 11, 2001. the world was introduced to yet another graduate of Wheaton college, Todd Beamer, a 1991 graduate.  He was one of those on the United Airlines plane that  crashed in rural Pennsylvania, a plane that was likely headed toward another target in Wasjiongton D.C.  

Todd and others on the plane with him are credited with leading an attack against the terrorists who had killed the pilot, and commandeered the cockpit.  Realizing he was about to die, Todd used the
on flight phone to call home.  Unable to reach his wife, he prayed the LORD'S Prayer with the Air Force operator as a testimony to his faith.
