One of our Sophomores, Rhys Fuller, recently shared his testimony about how the Lord used him this past summer.

“I worked at Camp Assurance this past summer, in Georgetown, Illinois. I was a camp counselor and also worked operational staff when necessary. God taught me how to rely on Him for strength, not only for physically tiring times but in emotionally stressing situations as well. I learned that God gives peace and comfort when we call on Him and trust Him to carry us through.”

We're always excited to hear how the Lord is using both our current and former students.

Congratulations to Rebecca Henderson, winner of the 2022 Web Server Wars. Rebecca, a senior counseling major, launched 71 attacks to take out 8 of her fellow student servers, achieving the highest "kill rate" of the war. Her server also survived the largest number of attacks of any contestant. Her server was one of two to run without crashing for the duration of the wars. There were 11 qualifying students who participated in the wars this year.

Background: The Web Server Wars have been an annual tradition in Dr. Schaub's Unix Programming class for many years. Students write a robust HTTP server in C using secure programming practices. During the contest, they launch attacks to test each others' defenses. An automated tool created by Dr. Jueckstock of the BJU Cybersecurity faculty adjudicates the attacks and reports their outcomes.
