They were traced to their headquarters and they all belonged to Student Corps of Pentecostal Endeavor, better known as SCOPE. We have an outreach to every type of person of every age, said RUSty Coulter, jun- ior, SCOPE director. It is also our concern that SCOPE be not only a framework for outreach, but also a spawning ground where fertile lives can be enriched and developed.

Jim Markham, senior, head of the Child Evangelism department for three years, conducted weekly training seminars, then sent out 18 to 20 groups to conduct programs in the neighborhoods. Mabel Fuentes, senior, said, I can't believe the way the kids watch those puppets. You can teach them so much that way. I have learned so many ways of teaching by working with Child Evangelism.

Visitation was a ministry to the underprivileged and out- casts of the community, and Mary Poinsett, senior, was in charge. Teams were sent to the hospitals, nursing homes, the Federal Medical Prison, the Sigma House Rehabilitation Center, and Victory Mission. Greg Detwiler, soph- omore, directed the Youth Outreach department, consist- ing of Street Witnessing and Freesound. The format of Freesound was contemporary gospel and secular music com- bined in a way that compares and contrasts the Christian and non-Christian life. During the program, the Care Line was available for persons to call and talk with student volunteers.

Missions department leader, Jeff Hittenberger, so- phomore, said, Our aim is to broaden people's perspective of missions and make them aware of what they, as Chris- tians, should be doing.ll New areas of emphasis were Hunger Awareness and intercessory prayer for missions. The big project for the year was buying new buses for Child Evangelism. Money was raised by giving students an opportunity to llbuy a piece of the bus. A large picture of a school bus was cut up and the pieces sold for $1 each. Most of the money for SCOPE's projects came from the students. Every Tuesday and Friday an offering was collected in chapel. Students, whether leaders, helpers, or givers, were part of the army that invaded Spring- field. l'4; . . 5: - .
