Is tt our outreach’? “From the Cross to the World’ that was the theme of the 28th Annual World Mission Workshop held on our campus October 22-25. The purpose of the work- shop was to instruct Christians in how to spread the good news of Jesus Christ to the world, with a special emphasis on mission work. Since different people have varying interests, special events were planned to cater to these interests. The displays which were set up in the Student Center provided a potpourri of information. Detailed accounts of the ministries in several countries were there to present the actual work taking place, to exhibit effective evangelistic tech- niques, and to make the participants of the workshop aware of the success which has already occurred. The displays gave those planning to enter into a mission- ary field a valuable opportunity to gain insight into the different programs which in turn would better prepare these people for their future task. One of the key elements of the work- shop was the variety of classes that were offered. Two time periods of 50 minutes each day were set aside for focussing on the different aspects of the missionary field. “The classes were very specialized and well rounded. Each class went into great depth” said Kevin Youngblood, a fresh- man from Woodbury. “The class on the mission family opened my eyes to the problems of the effects that crossing cul- tures may have on children,” he added. Not only were the problems of mission- aries, such as culture shock and coping with stress, addressed, but also the vari- ety of ministries one might encounter. Reuel Lemmons taught a class on how to utilize World Bible School. Frank Rush- ing dealt with the subject of how to min- ister to the deaf, and Howard Young gave instruction on how to evangelize the in- ner city. There were also special classes directed to the women only. On both Friday and Saturday two key- note speakers addressed different aspects of the theme “From the Cross to the World.” Harold Hazelip presented ‘The Sacrifice” followed by Reuel Lemmons’ “The Dream” Friday evening. Rex Boyles spoke on “The Victory” Saturday morning with Howard Young’s “The Gospel” finishing off the series Saturday night. “A Capella” was on hand after Reuel Lemmon’s presentation on Friday evening to provide some uplifting enter- tainment to all involved; a choral presen- tation marked the ending of the series Saturday night. To cap off the festivities of each day, a devotional was held in Bison Square to provide a time to unify and grow closer to God. The 28th Annual World Mission Workshop brought students from sever- al Christian colleges to our campus. Rep- resentatives from Harding, Oklahoma Christian, and Pepperdine were just a few of the newcomers to our campus during the workshop. This special event provided these people with opportunities to see what life at David Lipscomb is like and along with DLC students, to learn more about spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to the world. — Bobby Knight Students from schools such as Oklahoma Christian University vis- ited Lipscomb during the World Mission Workshop.
