She looked up and said, l wish you were my mommy. Later she drew pic- tures with the printed message, I love you, mommy. The need to show God's love in all situ- ations is awesome. College students here have a variety of opportunities to respond to needs through their Chris- tian Service projects. Many students really enjoy their C.S. Eddie Rivera and Melody Blevins start- ed what they call The Kingdom Kids Club for inner city kids. The club meets every Wednesday night here on campus. Through a summer C.S. pro- ject Eddie and Melody developed a burden for these kids who are so often forgotten. Mike Spencer is another example of a student who is very much involved in a C.S. project. Mike has been youth pas- tor at Northside Missionary Church for two years. He says that the biggest pressures that youth face today aren't the pressures to drink, smoke, or do drugs: the biggest pressures come from broken homes or from homes where Mom and Dad don't get along. These types of homes cause a lot of instability in the life of a teenager be- cause he or she never knows what to expect at home: thus he may resort to things such as drinking, drugs, or even suicide to get rid of that feeling of inse- curity. Mike's goal for his young people is that they become stable mature Christians so that they won't always be on a spiri- tual roller coaster ride. Mike says of his C.S. project: I've realized the awesome responsibility of leading young people. These are just a couple of brief reports on C.S. projects. There are many sto- ries that go untold which would empha- size the fact that though C.S. projects are a requirement for three out of the student's four years, they are also great opportunities to serve and learn.

The Advanced Rhetoric class received a helpful visit from Jack Ong, who presented them with ideas for creative writing. CONQUERING lAMB At the outset of any project the founda- tion is the beginning. At the start of the journey toward a degree, general stud- ies classes are a must. Most classes featured guest speakers and interesting visitors occasionally. Also field trips added excitement and fuller understanding of the subjects. What's important to me about the classes at Fort Wayne Bible College is the special attention that the profes- sors give to their students. They really take an interest in the student's stud- ies and encourage him along, stated Andrea Voisard. The foundation sets the shape and du- rability of the outcome. Professor Steve Lewis helps AI Manning with a problem while Dave Rouch tries to figure out one on his own.
