Awana helps. Practical Christian Involvement One of the many privileges which come from attending a Christian school is the opportunity to help in Christian ministries. PCI has a variety of areas in which stu- dents can participate. Many of the ministries allow us to work with children. One which is helpful for those who plan to teach is the Bible classes for the elementary school children. This year sixty-five students taught in six of the area schools reaching approxi- mately two thousand children. A more recent ministry is the Saturday morning AWANA program. Each Saturday fifteen boys and forty girls meet with twenty college students in the gym to have a time of games, Bible memorizing, and a devotional. The Big Brother Big Sister program was organized to help students become friends with the younger people in the community. This year students were urged to bring their little friends to campus for special events or just a meal. This is a special program to help them grow spiritually. PCI doesn ' t reach only the children, but also the adults. This year many of the students are excited about the new nursing home ministry. Students visited Rhea County and Graysville nursing homes once a week to bring cheer to people who stay there. PCI gives freedom to city kids. Intense concentration. PCI 21
