STUDE T INISTRIES Love Motivates Service inistry involves carrying out Christ's mandate to extend His love to others. Director of Student Ministries, Ron Hafer com- ments, i'The privilege of ministry can surely be viewed as a repsonsibility we all have as believ- ers Motivation is definitely fundamental to the effectiveness of ministry. If we minister because of our love for the Lord, then He is glorified through our efforts. The model for such appro- priately motivated ministry is a servantls heart, and through a variety of student ministry pro- grams, Biolans have weekly opportunities to demonstrate authentic servanthood. By spending time with convalescent home residents, sharing with children through Good News Clubs or SMU outreaches, street witness- ing in downtown Los Angeles with Open-Air Campaigners, performing in a gospel team or working in a local church, Biola students exper- ience firsthand the value of ministry and person- al rewards which confirm individual commit- ments to His service.

D YOFPR YER Quiet Meditation Refreshes the Soul 6 6 ou live in a pressure-cooker of demands. Unless you take time to quiet the clamor and the hustle and bustle of living, you'll never hear that still, small voice, Dr. Richard Rigsby told students who attended the morning chapel session of the Fall Day of Prayer. Dr. Rigsby referred to 1 Kings 19 for the text of his message on the necessity for quietness and prayer in the life of the believer. He asserted that although the Biola campus offers opportunity for the re- freshment of soul and spirit, students have to leave their normal routine and seek God, as did the prophet Elijah. Several students put feet to their pray- ers by participating in the Adopt-a-Park program conducted on Fall Day of Prayer. Biolans worked together to clean and make repairs at La Mirada Regional Park. Those who took part were later commended by Los Angeles County officials for their hard work. Both fall and spring Day of Prayer activi- ties included sunrise and communion ser- vices, as well as ample time for students to spend alone in prayer and reflection. Dr. Richard Strauss, pastor of Emman- uel Faith Community Church in Escondido, California, based his message on the Spring Day of Prayer theme, Psalms 10514: L'Seek the Lord and His strengthg seek His face con- tinuallyf' 5 . 24 Day of Prayer .5
