Fellowship North American Prayer Band for and become familiar wlth the mission- aries. Occasionally a missionary is the guest of the prayer band and presents the work he has been doing and the needs and problems he faces. As the student meets many missionaries, he realizes that there may be a place for him to fill on the foreign Held, that the Lord wants yielded people to serve Him. It is partly through F.M.F. that the stu- dent becomes aware of his possibilities as a witness for the Lord on the foreign field. Latin American Prayer Band Oriental Prayer Band.

In order to help the Berean student to awaken to this fact the Foreign Mis- sions Fellowship has been organized.

Missionary Conference One of the highlights of the school year is the Worldwide Missionary Conference held in No- vember by the Bethel Bible Fellowship Church of Allentown. Classes are dismissed in the morning that the students might participate in the Bible study hour and the panel discussion. This year the Bible study was led by Rev. Elmer Thompson of the West Indies Mission, who viv- idly portrayed from the Bible the Christian's life as a life for others. The panel discussions, led by Dr. Ralph Davis of the Africa Inland Mission, gave the students deeper insight into the mission- ary's way of life and the problems that must be faced in missions in the 60's. But the greatest experience of the missionary conference is the individual meetings with the missionaries themselves as they visit us around the table at our noon meal. Here the students receive a real blessing as they hear the trials and triumphs personally from the missionary, and are challenged by the tremendous need for more workers, for truly, the labourers are few.
