She developes preachers to preach the Word, teachers to teach the Word, singers to sing the Word, mis- sionaries to carry the Word, all to live the Word. Ministry involves all of life and so Man- hattan Bible College becomes involved in all parts of the lives of her students. She seeks to develop a ministry that will serve all of Christ's Church. Manhattan Bible College seeks to develope a ministry which will assist in restoring Christ's Church and which will assist in restoring all men to the Christ of that Church. Under the capable leadership of Wilford F. Lown, president of Manhattan Bible College since 1955, the college has progressed in every way in order to strengthen and increase her minis- try. It has been largely through the foresight, work, and leadership of President Lown that Manhattan Bible College is prepared to minister to the Church. As a result of twelve years of President Lown's service to the college, she is now prepared, in conjunction with Kansas State University, to educate Christian teachers who will have a solid foundation in Biblical doctrine and Christian education as well as in their profession. President Lown's ministry has been successful in developing a vital ministry for the Church. FACULTY Students never tire of hearing Professor Carr, whether in class or in chapel.

Contrasting the old and the new at the college are the administration building built in 1929 and the newer dormitory constructed in 1964. The older building is even feeling newer with its interior being renovated, With a junction of the ideas of W. F. Lown and the technical skill of the architects of F. O. Wolfenbarger and Associates of Man- hattan, Kansas, plans for the physical ex- pansion of Manhattan Bible College have begun to take shape. With her proposed program the school demands an expanded campus and all efforts are being taken by the trustees to make sure it will be ade- quate. As the result of hours of investigation and planning, an outline for an adequate cam- pus has been formed, and work has already begun. Students and alumni have been waiting for a step like this and have contributed to the development by the submission of their ideas and the show of their support. Although her facilities have been altered greatly, Manhattan Bible College's goal is still the same. A newly paved parking lot helped a lot of soles, New students were greeted at unfinished doors last fall. When school began in the fall, 1967, the students were met by a rather torn up administration building. After walking around paint buckets and tripping over grumbling carpet layers for a few weeks, things were back to normal. It was a rather new normal , though. The lounge had a new, lowered ceiling and a carpeted floor, besides new paint and drapes. The golden hallway and the golden stairway to heaven (our class- rooms) helped everyone's attitude and got us off to an enjoyable year. A new parking lot for students also was awel- come addition, Soon they were transformed into a very handsome doorway. ALPHA BETA CHI Mr, John Huk delivers a message at the sacrificial banquet. Mr, Reeves, the ABX planning committee, and Professor Mrogan, sponsor of ABX, stand around a map of the world, marked with the missions supported by ABX, and the Faith- Promise giving goal for the year, Christian missions plays an important part in the life of the student body at Man- hattan Bible College. Alpha Beta Chi, a missions organization made up of stu- dents interested in foreign and home mis- sions, is one outlet for the expression of this concern. Under the leadership of an elected committee, ABX plans several events for the student body. A missions emphasis week is sponsored by the organi- zation every fall. Among the missionaries invited to the campus to participate in this event was John Huk, a Russian missionary to his people in Toronto, Canada, and in Iron Curtain countries. His witness of his faith in Jesus Christ and the work he is able to do was a great inspiration to all the students and the faculty. The week pro- vides an opportunity for the students to meet many missionaries and to become more acquainted with their work. Also, one night was provided for the students to present the missionaries to several churches in the area. A”. F LIGHT AROUND TI WORLD Faith The theme of the Faith-Promise Rally of this school year was Victory in Christ. The first night started off a little slowly (thanks to Frontier Air- lines) but gained intensity with the message brought by Mr. Reeves. The sermons centered around the urgency of the evangelization of the world, Re- ports of mission work were brought to the participants by the MBC stu- dents who spent the previous summer (1967) on mission fields. Student Revival Mr. and Mrs, Busby and Mr, MacMillian (left) pause just long enough for one pose, Together they were great ministers to the students of MBC, — ae sexy ori EM | CKO worse THE WO Students were challenged to become involved in missions by Mr, Reeves, Alpha Beta Chi also sponsors each year a campus revival. As students started the secorrd semester, spring 1968, they were given a boost by the music of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Busby of Salem, Illinois, and the tremendous preaching of Mr. Lloyd MacMillian of Montrose, Colo- rado. Alpha Beta Chi organization had a very successful year. The activities were made possible by the committee who gave much time and energy to its cause. The members of the committee were Beverly Boxum, Ann Smith, Marilyn Seacat, and Myrna Vance. The student body looks forward to the events of 1968-1969. MBC DAY Excitement and fun To some of the visiting students and their parents and sponsors, college day at Man- hattan Bible College this year meant a great movie and good food. To others it meant inspiring preaching and excellent entertainment, To all of the visitors it was a time of excitement and interest. To some of the visiting alumni MBC Day was a time to contrast the old and the new at their Alma Mater. For others it was a time to renew old college friendships. The Alumni also found it to be a day of excite- ment, fun, and inspiration. College day at Manhattan Bible College is quite a different occasion on the parts of the students who plan it. It consists of hundreds of letters which have to be sent by a certain date, of classroom displays that have to be planned and constructed, of housing accommodations which have to be made, and of banquets which must be planned for. To some it is a day to enjoy; to some it is a dgy to be worried about; but to all it is a great satisfaction, Rodger Ward leads everyone in some singing. Inspiration and Friendship Norman Kidd, chairman for MBC Day, stills the large group of people assembled in Manhattan's Municipal Auditorium, Stanley “Woody” Letcher, Jr., brought the messages of the day. Some of the visiting students see old friends and meet new ones at MBC Day. 17 18 Omnibus Hour Patsy Green is sixteen and Ed Preston is all of seventeen, In this number from “The Sound of Music”, they are accompanied by Barbie Ross, Just about “everybody” goes to MBC Day. The Mabico Singers, under the direction of Prof. Secrest, entertain on Omnibus Hour with “Shadrack and “Moonglow”, : the beginning of the school year the incoming freshmen were entertained by the faculty at the Kansas State Universit Student Union, The students pictured began their year laughing with Dr, and Mrs. Van Buren, Among the social events of the year was the first parents day at MBC. The theme was A Family Affair , Those present got in on some family affairs in a family game patterned after “The Newly Weds Game”, Tim McFarland and Coleen Ferron, both freshmen, enjoy eating together, Closest friendships are often indicated by the intimacy of a dinner table. Some of the MBC girls don't feel the need for the table, 20 BASKETBALL The Crusaders showed some real spark this season (67-68) and came off withsec- ond place in the league, Hours of hard practice and teamwork are behind this achievement. Basketball at Manhattan is a big sport. Not only does it provide entertainment for the students and faculty, but also developes school spirit and good sportsmanship. The boys who play also develope physically. They learn a proper balance of teamwork and independence. Coach is Charles Cayton, a junior at Man- hattan Bible College as well as the coach of the team. He has worked with the team for two seasons. All of life is sacred and can be seen as a ministry. A prayer for performance and sportsmanship precedes each game at Manhattan Bible College. =i The captains confer with the referees before a game. Basketball is a major part of intercollegiate activities for the Bible college and other small colleges of the area. Don Wilson, a sophomore, was our captain for this game. Tom Hawks, a senior, shoots for two points against Faith during the league tourney. Tournament at Ozark Tournament play was also exciting for Manhattan Bible College fans and players. The league tournament was held at Ozark Bible College. The Crusaders came away with the second place trophy. They won in their first game against Faith, but lost in the game against Grace, The competition was demanding, and the Crusaders looked fine and played hard. In league play the Crusaders had lost both games against Faith during the season. They also had lost two games against Grace. They really worked hard for their position in the tournament. The scores were MBC 64, Faith 61 and MBC 69, Grace 85. 21 22 Our Record NCC (CIS Faith Calvary Grace Ozark Clark Tanner, a sophomore, jumps for MBC to “get that ball” while the coach and the team looks on.

MBC PREACHING Therefore seeing we have this ministry... from II Corinthians 4:1 was the theme of the MBC Preaching Convention this year. Russel Blowers, guest speaker, invited everyone who was present to a fuller minis- try of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Workshops and discussions centered around the various means for fulfilling Christ's ministry in the Church. The convention is held each school year in honor of the late Dr. T. H. Johnson, past president of the Bible College. CONVENTION Russel Blowers, the featured preacher, delivered great messages that inspired everyone present to greater ministry.

Many students from MBC have been serving the Lord in the surrounding churches for years. The work is ever new and exciting. The minis- tries of the students vary in their means, but they are all for the same purpose--the ministry of the Word to the glory of God. 00000000000000C SS es S 'S S iS S S iS ES SNHATTA , Matin oa —— “3 a4 Among the twenty-two MBC students who preach in surrounding churches is Ray Stites, He serves the church at Barnes, Preaching Ministry Many MBC young men find their ministry in preaching to some of the many small congre- gations near the college. Ed Towne is pictured uring the presentation of a message, The students at Manhattan Bible College many years after the picture opposite was taken are still serving many of the churches in the Manhattan area. This year twenty- two young men were preaching and teaching in churches. The preaching ministry is very .important to the life of the Church. Much time is spent in study and preparation for this type of ministry. The information gained in classes and in reading is not left to stagnate but is given to God's people. This involvement in ministry during the time of preparation is very beneficial to the student's understanding and growth. a5 Other Ministries Phil Edwards has added song leading to his ministry. Teaching is vital to the life of the Church. Marilynne Stanfield teaches a class as a ministry. Many students find ministry in music, Phil's Quartet shown here is composed of Bob George, Marilynne Stanfield, Brenda Waltz and Phillip Hoyle. 46 Mabico The Mabico Singers perfo of the Twentieth Nation held this year in Dodge senting the Lord and tneir school, the si fulfill a vital ministry in the Church, Mabico Singers: standing (left to right), Mr. Joseph Secrest (Director), Carol Allison, Pat Marolf, Spence Moore, Marilyn Schreiner, Ed Preston, Sheryl Preston, Charles Smith, Larry Hammons, Patsy Green, John Westbrook; seated, June Hoisington, Phillip Hoyle, Nancy Kelly, Wave Severns, Susan Thompson, Norma Thurston, Barbara Ross, Don Wilson, Jonnie Rutn Downing. 47 WALSWORTH Marceline, Mo., U.S.A. a a te ae ti est uy A
