B.B.I. EXTENSION MINISTRY The extension ministry, a vital part of the total program of B.B.I., takes place not only throughout the school year, but is also evidenced in the summer tours of both faculty and staff. Tours begin immediately after Spring Conference. Most teams travel until the end of June, although others are engaged for the entire summer. The greater portion of this extension ministry is focused upon individual churches. The choirs present entire programmes of sacred music; the smaller teams (trios and quartettes), both music and message. Travelling teams aim to challenge those with spiritual needs, to inform those who desire to study the Word of God that B.B.I. is available to them, and to present the needs of our school. Through the summer extension ministry a host of people are contacted in churches and in individual homes as they are so graciously opened to accommodate the team members. Camp work also plays a large part in the ministry. Extension has been effective in the past and it is our prayer that it maybe even more so in the future as we share in this ministry of representing our Lord and our school. : Dahl, Olga Klemionek, ithwestem Sta

CHRISTIAN SERVICE COMMITTEE STANDING: LindaEagon, Larry Magnusson, Marv Penner, Norm Ganes. SEATED: Mr. W. Fox, Mr. E. Hiebert, Mr. C. Weinhauer, Mr. A. Lewis, Lisa Aubrey. CHRISTIAN SERVICE “That I may know him ...! (Phil. 3:10). “That I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador... (Eph. 6:19, 20). Christian Service is the natural overflow of a heart filled by Jesus Christ and His righteousness. Likened to a man breathing, one inhales in the classroom, in dorm devotions, in various campus activities, and then, from an overflowing heart and life exhales through Christian Service assignments what has been learned. Breathing is a normal process with inhaling and exhaling dependent one on the other. Likewise, we get to know Him to make Him known. During the Fall Semester 1969 regularly assigned groups ministered to Senior Citizen’s homes in Regina and Moose Jaw; in the Training School (for mentally retarded) in Moose Jaw; in Bible Clubs in Regina, Belle Plain, Moose Jaw, Caronport and Chaplin; in youth groups at Belle Plain and Droxford; in Sunday Schools in Moose Jaw, Darmody, Chaplin and Caronport; student pastorates and preaching points in Moose Jaw, Mossbank, Darmody, Droxford, and Davidson; and Life-Line (street and cafe personal contact) ministry in Moose Jaw. Over 11,000 have been in attendance at these various meetings. At times a Christian Service assignment may seem like a small matter. However, assignments well done often lead to greater responsibilities and opportunities ordered by the Lord. The future for Briercrest students in the Christian Service outreach of the school is as bright as the promises of God. “He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Ps. 126:6 C. Weinhauer Christian Service Director
