It is simply a miracle conversion of deserted buildings haunted with the tales of an army hospital into a nationally recognized institution. Evangel's birthday was August 26, l953, when the General Council ofthe Assemblies of God authorized the establishment of a liberal arts college. The denomination's Education' Department began making plans for an in- stitution created to trainthe pentecostal youth who would not attend Bible School. The groundwork was laid to provide higher edu- cation .with Christian environment.

The major move toward establishment came during the next year when O'Reilly General Hospital in Springfield, Missouri, was declared surplus by the United States Govern- ment. lt was thereby presented for private acquisition. A carefully prepared application was submitted by the Education Department. After a series of Washington conferences, it was announced that for the price of one dollar, the seventy buildings and equipment located on fifty-eight and a half acres of property would become an educational ,insti- tution of the Assemblies of God-Evangel College. Q But this was only the beginning of the miracle story. A location on America's main street, Highway 66, does not constitute a college. The -next step was the selection of a faculty and staff and to provide the proper facilities for the forthcoming class. Following consultation, the educational committee con- tacted Dr. Klaude Kendrick to head the new institution, and with his advice other members of the faculty were selected. Faculty mem- bers who are pentecostal and well qualified in their fields are ready to be advisor as well as instructor. Tl seven s Since ' represe l l
