PRA YER A D FAS TI G OFFER PIRITUAL N O URI HME T There is one organization on campus which is very hard to isolate. It is not easy to distinguish just who is a member and who is not. The meeting place is the College Church between the hours of 12:00 and 1:00 Friday noon. The lights are lowered and after a brief devotional only organ music is heard. While there is no sound, much is being said, for this is a special group. The Prayer and Fasting group at MANC is led by Charles Jolley. Under his leadership, students and faculty from all over the campus quickly gather to stop a few moments from the strain of classes to remember the most important part of life. There is time for thought and petition, and, in the quietness, God is there. WP WZW I WMM The altars of College Church are lined every Friday noon as students and faculty spend time with God. 103

1 7 GOD S SPIRIT FELT IN FALL REVIVAL What better way could a Christian college start a new school year than with an inspirational Opening Convention? Rev. Jim Bond, General N.Y.P.S. President, was the evangelist and was the right man for thejob. Through his messages many young people sought Christ and found help for their problems as a new school year began. Through prayer and times of victory around the altar, we drew closer to the Lord, while at the same time we became better acquainted with our new classmates. This was a very important crusade at Mid-America Nazarene College. For many, it eased the pangs of homesickness. Others were guided in their studies. However, most important was the seeking of God's will in our lives now and in the future. ll ,uw --. ou .,'.. ,-,,.g.novov1 , ,- -HMMN Au-F .-und' -1-1-,QQ ..,,,,, Through the messages of Dr. Curtis Smith, students at Mid-America were inspired to live a more stable Christzan life. , M' y 5 i . p F Wm 'D As a new school year began, Rev. Jim Bond came to us with a message of God is love and grace. Mid-America's Fall Revival with Dr. Curtis Smith was one of genuine spiritual refreshment. Preparation for the revival began weeks before the actual services with an intensive canvassing program in which college students reached every home in Olathe. The revival, held October 19-26, consistently topped 500 in attendance. With an emphasis on the steadfast spiritual experience, each one of Dr. Smith's messages was presented in the power of the spirit and each service saw seekers bow at an altar of prayer.
