APEL inistering to the needs of the main- stream of the students here at Biola, challenging and motivating students into a closer relationship with Christ, developing within each student a greater understanding of who God is, generating a positive attitude and anticipation toward chapels and chapel attendance were the major objectives the 1981-82 Chapel Board sought to implement this year, To realize these goals, Chapel Board co- ordinated Christ-centered chapels which af- forded a variety of opportunities for individ- ual and corporate worship. The board, led by Chairman Jon Warnshuis, scheduled a va- riety of excellent speakers throughout the year, including Dr. Lehman Strauss, Pas- tor Ray Ortlund of Mariner's Church in Newport Beach and Pastor Chuck Swindoll Top left: President Emeritus Dr. Sam Sutherland chal- lenges students to respect Biola's distinctives.

Chapels also featured a wide range of musi- cal talent to enhance worship times. We, as a student body, were challenged to slow down and be still before the Lord lDr. Rigsbyj, to enjoy our Christian life lTim Han- selj and to check our Christian attitudes about pressures and problems lChuck Swin- dollj. While Chapel Board organized chapels Tuesday through Thursday, Monday chapels were sponsored by the Administration, while Friday chapels were sponsored by the Stu- dent Missionary Union. Students and faculty enjoyed a variety of chapel options each Thursday, including special interest cadres and worship celebrations in Lansing Audito- rium led by Professors Kirk, Schwarz, Wiebe and Unfried.

'ir' 45. it 'lv-an STUDE T MISSIONS Expanded Ministries Advance Evangelism or a sailor to cross the ocean, he needs a ship. The ship must be under his con- trol and have the structural capabilities to accomplish the journey for which it is des- tined. Our goal for the Student Mission- ary Union, according to SMU President Scott Schmachtenberger, His that it would be a vessel through which students could accomplish God's desires for their lives in helping to fulfill the Great Commission. SMU is not a small group of K'elect stu- dents, but a large group of everyday people helping to reach the world through a number of avenues provided within SMU. Outreaches in South Los Angeles, Tia- juana and to international students, as well as ministries to troubled teens in the area and a new ministry to Mormons, gave hundreds of Biolans many opportunities to further the cause of Christ in local surroundings. On the foreign scene, over 70 students were slated to travel to Japan and the Philip- pines on special teams through the 1982 SMU summer missions program Jabez ll. SMU was involved with a variety of other projects this year, including the production of The Summer Missions Opportunities Handbook. The effectiveness of the hand- book was the fact that over 1700 copies were on order before production of the booklet was completed. Special opportunities for support were also coordinated by SMU, including Oper- ation Proclamation, a program through which Biola students sought to raise 525,000 to facilitate increased radio broadcasting of the Gospel into the Soviet Union, China, Viet- nam and other countries. SMU sponsored the fifty-third annual Mis- sionary Conference May 3-7, 1982. Keynote speakers Dr. Clyde Cook, Kundan Mas- sey, John MacArthur, Keith Phillips and hundreds of mission board representatives challenged students to consider the wide range of opportunities for service which are available around the globe. Summarizing the year in SMU, Schmach- tenberger notes that, SMU has seen an ex- pansion of ministries through which students may be actively involved. As we look to the future, we need to realize that we as students are going to be the next major force in world evangelism. If we pick up the ball and run with it, we will see God accomplish great things through us. Student Missionary Union 19
