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.

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

10 Business Manager J. RONALD BURNSIDE I was born again as a young man, but not realizing the greatness of sal¬ vation, I followed afar off. The turn¬ ing point in my spiritual career came when I married. My wife became my guide in spiritual things. Not long after our marriage the burden for God’s work became more real and by leaving the job of grain buying I could put more time into the work of the Lord. I took part in the forming of Bethel Mission in Pangman, which always has been a highlight in my life. The years as manager of Trossachs Camp helped to train my life for the position I now hold. Although I have never been called to be a preacher, I feel the Lord has given me a ministry and a burden for the work I am now endeavouring to fulfill. Romans 12:11-13 “Not slothful in business . . . serving the Lord.” Sister Ruth Martin and Sister Mildred Sauer graduated from F.G. B.l. with the class of 58. We are thankful that they were willing to return this year and join the staff of the institute. Their labours have been appreciated! Mildred says, 1 was born and raised in a Christian home. While attending Kedleston Camp in 1945, I accepted Christ as my personal Saviour and was graciously bap¬ tized in the Holy Spirit. My work for the Lord has been centered in Vacation Bible School and Sunday School work, and every opportunity for service has been appreciated.” Ruth says, I was saved at the age of six while attending a service con¬ ducted in a country school. In 1949 I received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit at Kedleston Camp. The past two summers have been spent in children’s work. My desire is to do my best for Jesus. Cooks RUTH L. MARTIN and MILDRED D.
