8 I was saved in the Regina Apos¬ tolic Mission in the spring of 1930. Later my Bible knowledge was at¬ tained by attending church regularly seven days a week for two years, also by spending several hours a week in private Bible study. Having previously pastored in Saskatchewan at Imperial, Yorkton and Moose Jaw, I am now labouring at the Apostolic Mission in Regina. The most outstanding experience in my spiritual life was the transforma¬ tion that came by receiving Christ as my personal Saviour. Soon after¬ wards I was baptized with the Holy Spirit, speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gave utterance. For the past number of years I have spent part of each term at F.G.B.I. where the ministering of the Word of God has been a real bless¬ ing to me. Rev. ELWOOD L. McRAE Faculty I Tim. 5:17 “They who labour in the word and doctrine.” Christ became my Saviour in 1933, at Swift Current, Sask. I received a definite call to the ministry while attending the Fundamental Bible Col¬ lege at Grenfell. After completing Bible School I was engaged as an evangelist for eight consecutive years, ministering across Canada and parts of the U.S.A., and having pastored at Wis- hart, Sask., Houlton, Me., U.S.A., am at present pastoring in Calgary, Alberta. I have served the Apostolic Organization as a member of the Presbytery Board and Missionary Council, and have had the joy of ministering at conventions and camp meetings. The highlight of my experience was in 1956, when the Lord gave me the privilege of travelling around the world in the ministry of the Word, visiting 22 countries, and ministering on all missionary stations connected with the Full Gospel Fellowship. Since 1953, I have been minister¬ ing at F.G.B.I. Rev. FRANK J. KOSICK

7 How the years fly; a teacher at F.GB.I. since 1950, I was saved at home in my early childhood through the prayers of a godly mother and faithfully instructed from the Word of God by my Sunday School teacher. I graduated from F.G.B.L with the class of 1948, having previously at¬ tended the Western Bible College in Regina for one semester. Ever since receiving the call of the Lord in August, 1944, I have been engaged in evangelistic work. It was my joy to travel with Youth for Christ International and Every Crea¬ ture Crusade in Europe, Jamaica, Cuba, U.S.A., and Canada. At the present time I am engaged in pioneer evangelism and church planting in the West Coast in con¬ nection with the home missions pro¬ gram of the Evangelistic Tabernacle, Vancouver, B.C. My most outstanding experience was during Camp Meeting at Lake Katepwa, where God baptized me with the Holy Spirit and divinely called me to preach the Gospel. I Peter 5:1-4 “Feed the flock of God which is among you taking the oversight. . I accepted Christ as my Saviour at Trossachs camp when twelve years old. After my release from the army I attended C.B.I. in Regina, coming to F.G.B.L for my second and third year terms. After graduating in 1948 I joined Art Sheppard and Eldon Johnson in evangelistic work in the Kootenays of B.C., remaining with the Sheppard party for a couple of years before finally b ranching out on my own phase of Christian work with children and young people. I joined the faculty of F.G.B.l. in 1950 and have been returning each year for the first semester as teacher of Child Study. During the summer months I direct Bible Camps and Vacation Bible School Teams, reaching boys and girls across Western Canada with the gospel. Teacher Training courses coupled with children’s meetings take up the remainder of my busy year. Child-Evangelist WILBERT E. CROWDER

9 Like Timothy, I, too, was blessed with a godly mother and grandmoth¬ er, who told me from childhood of God ' s love and how to become a member of His family through the miracle of the “new birth.” I received the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour during revival meetings in the Regina Apostolic Mission and publicly identified myself with Christ in water baptism and received the gift of the Holy Spirit that same month. From 1945 to 1947 I attended the Prairie Apostolic Bible Institute in Saskatoon, Sask., and there received the call of God into the ministry. My first pastorate was at Punnichy, Sask., from 1947 until 1950 when I moved to Melfort, Sask., remaining there until 1953. For the next two years I travelled extensively in evan¬ gelistic ministry, fn 1956, I accepted the pastorate at Forest Lawn, Alberta, for two years, until my appointment as editor of the End Times’ Mes¬ senger. Last year I joined the Faculty of F.G.B.I. Rev. IRWIN W. ELLIS Faculty “Laying up in store ... a good foundation.” I was raised in the atmosphere of a godly home and at the age of twelve came to know Jesus as my Saviour under the ministry of Rev. P. G. Kylio. One year later God bap¬ tized me with the Holy Spirit. My original home was Yorkton, Sask. Later I moved to Vancouver, and from there came to F.G.B.f. In the spring of 1951 I accepted the position of Registrar at F.G.B.I. and also the responsibility of teaching typing to the second and third year students for an average of four classes a week. The permanent typing room has been a great asset this term. In the Eston Assembly the privi¬ leges of assisting in the work of the Sunday School has been a great bless¬ ing to me- MISS PEARL K. KROGEL
