While most students worked or slept their summer away, a few students and faculty participated in STEP tSummer Training and Evangelism Partnersl. Brazil, Europe, and Guatemala were targets of the summers three STEP teams. Anita Humbertson, senior biology major, commented on her trip to Brazil. It has given me a broader world view, she said. Before going on STEP, I didn't think about the world outside of America. Going on STEP has also given me a greater desire to witness and to share the things the Lord has done. Brazilian men have a high regard for women, Anita shared. We were supposed to paint a church, but since our group was mostly women, they would not let us do it. Ruth Lindsey, a former missionary to Brazil and Assistant Professor of English, enjoyed re-visiting Brazil. It was a real joy to go with STEP to Brazil. I really never expected to get the opportunity to go back. My husband Jack went, and it gave him a chance to see the places that I have talked about and experienced, Mrs. Lindsey stated. European team member Gail Huff, a senior, shared her observations of the people. I went on STEP last summer to the Caribbean, and it was easier to minister l . tg to them because most are less privileged people, but this year's ministry was harder. Most European people have a tendency to feel they have no need for God and are less receptive to the gospel, she continued. You have to speak through an interpreter because not everyone speaks English, and you tend to get flusteredf' Gail added. Paul Duncan, Dean of Students, accompanied the Guatemala team. He commented on the experience. It has strengthened my own life spiritually. You can't go out there and be involved day and night for three weeks in a different culture and it not affect your life positive- Iv. The Guatemalan team helped to paint a Bible school and a youth camp and dug the foundation for a church. We worked hard for two days, Duncan said, and that speaks very loudly to these people. Dr. Carolyn Dirksen, Associate Professor of English, commented on STEP, It has been really refreshing to meet people who are a vital part of the church and to see how vital the church is a long way from Cleveland. This coming summer STEP teams plan to visit Mexico, Honduras, Haiti, and Seoul, South Korea. -Pat Walker
