FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF HAMMOND, First Baptist Church of Hammond means more than “the world’s largest Sunday School” to the Hyles-Ander- son family. The church’s people and pastor have opened up their arms to stu- dents from all over America. The numerous ministries have helped to give many students a burden for souls, and, in so doing, changed goals and lives. The Hyles- Anderson family gives their heart-felt thanks to First Baptist Church. 1. The First Baptist Church building dominates the inner city of Ham- mond. This church drew an averge of 18,000 people per Sunday in 1982. It is this church that has become a home away from home for Hyles- Anderson students. 2. Thousands of people mingle and fellowship prior to the evening ser- vice. 3. Bro. Boardway and the choir wait for the pastor to enter. 4. Bro. Johnny Colsten reads from the Scriptures prior to the message. 92 — Christian Ministries Peo DO Oe

THIS PAGE: 1. The Bus Ministry entails caring for the individual. 2. The “soft sell” approach is used to re- cruit new workers. 3. “I didn’t say I would buy you a hot dog; I said to meet by the hot dog stand.” 4. A dedicated bus captain and the ever- present arch board cards. OPPOSITE PAGE: 1. The Dan Ryan Expressway leads to- ward the homes of thousands of Sunday school children.

And though we love our brethren in all other divisions, We will be loyal to Division Three. In Chicago there are millions of souls Waiting for someone to c are; Division Three will set the goal, We will go farther than anyone has dared With promotion and tender loving care. A yellow bus visitation, tears and prayers, Hearts and minds turn to God. Start the narrow path to trod, All because we took the time to show we cared. Division 5 Years I spent in vanity and pride, Til at last I joined Division Five. Now I sing because I am alive — Division Five! Now we go out every single week, Beat the path for lost souls to seek, ’Til at last we meet at Jesus’ feet, Division Five! Division 7 We go to Chicago on weekends To bring the lost ones in. To tell them of God’s mercy, And how He can save from sin. Our division is the best, Better than all the rest. For we all work in unity. We shall shout and sing as We serve our King. Family Seven is the best! Christian Ministries — 91

“ALR SEMEN 1. The focus of each Sunday at First Baptist Church centers on Dr. Jack Hyles. 2. Dr. Evans holds a small tin pan where the last vestiges of the paid- off Hyles-Anderson College mort- gage are being consumed by flame, thus making the 8400 Burr Street property solely owned by First Bap- tist Church. 3. The 1982 school year brought the addition of new seating via the mez- zanine. 4. Bro. Colsten and Bro. Moffitt bap- tize after both services with over 8,000 baptisms in 1982 alone.
