TOHREY CONFERENCE Torrey Week inspires Growth January 26-30 marked not only the be- ginning of a new spring semester for Biolans, but also a fresh start in goal- setting and relationships. Torrey Me- morial Bible Conference this year, af- forded many new insights for all of us looking for God's will concerning mar- riage, family, love's real meaning, values, and discipleship. For the first time I saw how short my efforts at love have fallen explained one student who particularly enjoyed Jill Briscoe's Love ls seminar. Bob Kraning's topic was very practical for me com- mented another. Values and Lifestyle are issues that we should all struggle with as we are maturing in Christ. The morning seminars entitled Before Yous Say l Do given by Dr. Mark Lee, and The Deteriorating Family by Dr. Dennis Guernsey, were further high- lighted by the popular Dobson family series films, shown in the afternoons. By noon Friday, the students at Biola had received many hours of practical inspiration to equip them for the joys of the difficult semester ahead. by Janine Johnson 24 Torrey Conference 'Q sfeq its lf JUM5 OEM .

DAY OF PRAYER A Special Time The 1980 Day of Prayer was a very special day and a real encouragement to Biola students. The evening before, a special meeting was led by Steve Clark to prepare for the oncoming day. Bright and early on the Day of Prayer a sunrise service was held. Professor Ed Curtis led this with a devotional. After this breakfast was opened and Dick Day spoke on the importance of prayer in guy-girl relationships. Dorm-floor, commuter and faculty groups then met for a time of sharing through prayer. The main session was presented by Dr. Earl Radmacher who enthusi- astically instructed and encouraged us to be faithful in our prayer lives. After a free afternoon for individual pray- ertime the day was closed with a Bar- B-Que and communion. Here the body gethered together in worship and com- munion. Day of Prayer 23
