Professor Bowman and the Gospel Team Committee set goals of better organiza- tion and program presentation for the work done by these students. To fulfill these goals, lab schools on various phases of evangelism were con- ducted by Mrs. Ackley, Dr. Paullin and Dr. Kannwischer. Teams were sent weekly to missions and mission Sunday schools as well as to regular Sunday services and evan- gelistic meetings. Various musical groups sang 0n the Gospel Broadcast over WCOJ directed by Tom Brookover. A gospel team office was obtained in the music building where a filing and bookkeeping system was established. Many students, especially freshmen, showed a selfless desire to serve the Lord through gospel team work. It is the sincere wish of the present committee that this spirit of service will remain in the hearts of Easterners. BIBLE STUDY FIRST ROW: E. Veninga, J. Cleaves, M. Kinsman; SECOND ROW: M. Selden, K. Emerson, C. Burlew. Every alternate Wednesday night, stu- dents of Eastern Baptist College come together to share in Christian fellowship which has had deep meaning in their lives. The variety of programs pre- sented by Bible Study included the study of portions of scripture, films pertaining to Christianity, panel discussions, speak- ers from the faculty, area Christian groups and the student body. Students find Bible Study to be a re- warding time as it teaches them about the scripture and its vital relationship to life. , . Q: 4-qu wn: r'wunma min?,HWva - ' W
