SEMINARY GOSPEL TEAMS Students representing the Seminary and others pre- paring forgreligious work, especially members of the pas- toral training and the musical departments, have formed into groups and also work individually in the fields of practical evangelism and ministerial service. In addition to participating in broadcasts over WAWZ and WAWZ-FM, members of the Gospel Teams conduct prayer and Bible study services, assist in evangelistic meetings in halls or homes: some serve as student pastors in several congregations throughout the area. House to house calling, personal witnessing, literature distribution, hospital and nursing home visitation, and any available possibilities of presenting Christ to other souls for whom He died-this is the ministry of our Seminary stu- dents. We find this is as vitally important to us, to the Church, to the Kingdom of Heaven, as the lessons we learn in the classroom. if we are to realize what the Apostle Paul meant in ll Corinthians 4:5 and 5:20- t'For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord: and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake .... Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. There is but one department in the work of the Church and that is evangelism. All other departments are by-products and are subordinate. The Church's first business, her constant business, her indispensable business, is the evangelization of the world. As souls are saved, they should be indoctrinated, organized, super- vised, directed, and made to become self-supporting personal evangelists in order that the work may be perpetuated. --Mark A. Mattlzews. STUDENT MISSIONS FELLOWSHIP The Student Missions Fellowship on the campus of Zarephath Bible Seminary and Alma White College is patterned after ideas suggested by the Student Foreign Missions Fellowship, a national association for students who are vitally interested in the cause of foreign missions. The objective of SMF is: Every Christian with a mis- sionary vision. The attitude often exists that missionary inter- est is the property of a few, set-apart enthusiasts, . . . There cannot be a true development of the spir- itual life-a sharing of the mind of Christ-unless we are one with Him in His concern for the unevan- gelized world. Preparation for future service must include obedience to the Lord's command to look on the fields Uohn 4:3SD, and a prayer study of the world missionary situation. -From SM F Chapter Program Membership in our SMF is made up of those students in both the Seminary and College who have a special interest in foreign missionary activity. Times for prayer and discussion areheld when we have a united opportu- nity to pray for missions and missionaries, as well as for personal guidance in our own vocation-with the chal- lenge of the foreign field in mind, But whether it be the foreign or home field to which Christ calls us, we have the words of St. Paul for Archippus, a missionary of the early Church: Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it CColossians 41175. Missionary services. programs, and special speakers have been arranged at various times for the benefit of the entire campus and community, and also to offer an oppor- tunity to be of some assistance to the cause of Chri-st in other fields. It is the hope of SMF'ers that interest and activity in the spread of the gospel unto the uttermost parts of the earth CActs 1 :SL and at least the minimum of lifting up our eyes and looking on the fields, for they are white already to harvestn fjohn 4:35i-that such interest will be increased and encouraged in our midst: that if He who left His home in heaven above to endure all the inconveniences, inconsistencies. and ingratitude of this world in order to bring us salvation, should call us to preach the gospel in the regions beyond CH Corin- thians 10:16ig that if we hear Him say., Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? we may answer whole- heartedly: Here am T: send me flsaiah 6:85 .... 0 my Lord, send. T pray thee. by the hand of him whom thou wilt send flflxodus 41133. Lord, what will thou have me to do? Mets 9:63.
