Improve Your World Vision The word mandate carries the idea of an authoritative order or command, especially a written one, a commission. The second annual Mandate Conference was held at Ball State University,january 23- 25. A group of thirty, plus Gerald Steele, the Missions Program Director, attended. Speakers for the seminar included: David Bryant, Gordon Aeschliman, Steve Haw- thorne,josh McDowell, and Dr.j. Robertson McQuilkin. These speakers presented to the group of over a thousand college-age stu- dents, the challenge of missions and the im- portance of it in everyday Christian life. On the final evening a Concert of Prayer was held. For most, it was new and eye-open- ing that one could sustain an attitude of pray- er for several hours. Mandate '87 really challenged me to a life-time commitment, stated Lisa Kelley. Many spoke in chapel later about the specific ways in which the conference helped them. The Concert of Prayer was the highlight of the Mandate Conference. Dr.j. Robertson McQuilkin begins his seminar on The Word, The World, and You. Curt Schnur and jim Gippert read along in the word as the speaker directs.
