Each of the gospel teams have had meetings almost every week during the school year in places where people are in need of their message. The student pasters go out to their respective churches for the week-ends, bringing the Gospel to communities that cannot support full-time pastors. STUDENT PASTORS Third Row: M Wessman, C.
