Seekers of the Word
gets official recognition
During the spring semester Seekers of
the Word, a Christian drama troupe,
received official recognition as a student
organization representing ACU, said
RaDonna Belk, freshman radio-television
major and member of the troupe.
Seekers of the Word was the idea of
Alan Brown, junior youth ministry major
from Rockville, Md., and president of the
troupe.
Brown transferred to ACU in the fall of
1981 with the hope of joining the former
ACU acting troupe, HIS Players. Since
HIS Players no longer existed, Brown
decided to fill what in his view was a gap in
ACU's extracurricular program.

mances occurred in and around Abilene
for area churches and youth groups, Belk
said. The troupe drew ideas from material
that some of the members had gathered in
the past. They presented them to the
public in the form of songs, skits and au-
dience participation activities.
As some of the group's leaders reflected
on the past year, they agreed on one ac-
complishment: spiritual growth of the
troupe.
Robert Mathis, a freshman from Gar-
diner, Mass., and public relations director
for the troupe, said, "We've had our sparks
and our disagreements, but we're solidify-
ing more every day."
He added that members realized they
were not professionals, but tried to concen-
trate on conveying important messages
about life in Christ to their audiences.
Brown said he was pleased with the
group's accomplishments this year, and
although he had only one year left at
ACU, he already saw potential leadership
for the troupe.
"Seekers of the Word is here to stay as
long as its members remember why they
are performing," Brown said. "We're go-
ing to take out a little time to say we care,
we want to help, and we want to reach out
and touch your lives through our skits or
through our songs or just by being there."
