Some of our students ministered as pastors, assistant pastors, youth directors and ministers of music in nearby churches. The All American Kids had several opportunities to sing in the Tulsa area and always made friends for the college. But the All American Kids are not the only students who use their musical talents for the Lord. A group of singing girls, who call themselves The Reflections, sang this past year for local churches as well as our own. Wherever they sang the audiences were impressed lvisually as well as audiblyl. A few students sang and played in quartets or served as pianists for local congregations. This provided invaluable training to young Christians called to His service, and also helped to spread the word of our college. The Crusader Basketball team energized the student body with their enthusiasm and talent. In our first year of true intercollegiate competition, they gained recognition for their outstanding ability throughout the Southwest. Under the superb coaching of George Hauser, the Crusaders set a new single game scoring record for the state of Oklahoma. Next fall Coach Negial King is beginning the Crusader Baseball program that we hope will be as successful as our basketball team in promoting our college and the principles upon which it is founded. Last fall marked the beginning of the loudest voice spreading the news about American Christian College to our community. That voice is KBJH-FlVl. With 100,000 watts of stereo power, our college radio station spreads a booming Gospel in word and in song throughout Northeastern Oklahoma. Specializing in sports, news, community service and religious programming, KBJH attracts a wide listening audience and introduces them to A.C.C. and its associated ministries. In the sports department, Gary Blevins, a student of all four years, keeps Tulsa informed on sporting events, local, national, and international. As The Voice of the Crusaders, he broadcasts all the Crusader Basketball games and also covers the local baseball team, the Tulsa Oilers, for KBJH. Many sporting fans will be reached with the gospel of Christ through the influence of KBJH. Student disc jockeys Carl Nliller, Dave Angel, Dan Villanueva, and others play inspiring gospel music for our audience and gain valuable career training while at college. Our community service programs such as Talk of Tulsa and Good Neighbor Guide make friends and listeners of thousands. All in all, this has been the best year in the history of American Christian College and l'm sure that next year will be even better. As by God's grace we continue to grow and improve, l have no doubt that American Christian College will become one of the most outstanding small colleges in the nation. The Lord has already blessed us with a fine Christian administration, faculty and staff of the highest academic calibre, a new and modern campus, a complete new library, and some of the finest students in the world. l'm confident that He will continue to bless us and lead us as He wills. As prayer for our college is offered to God from every continent in the world, we grow stronger and more able to stand in the fight for Christ and against the forces of the Antichrist. I would like to thank everyone who made this year as student body president possible for me. First I should not forget our Lord Jesus Christ, for without His grace l would be lost and could do nothing. Next l would like to thank all of the supporters of Dr. Hargis' ministries and all those who keep this work before God in prayer: the administration, faculty and staff of American Christian College, whose assistance and guidance was invaluable - especially Jay Butler, to each student at A.C.C. and all the support they gave, last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank Dr. Billy James Hargis, for without his faith and vision this school would not exist. Please continue to pray for American Christian College, because Christian young people, prepared to stand for righteousness, are the only hope for America, save our Lord, Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord! Love in Christ, Thom Hickling fvilltlw
