Jamaica. A place where they offer love freely, and ac- cept people, regardless of color or re- ligion. They look out for their neigh- bors and share all of their possesions, no matter how few they are. Jamaica. Craving for religion, churches, or ba- sically the word from God whom they seek to know and love. A group of thirteen students were sponsored on a special trip to do re- lief work after Hurricane Gilbert tore across the small island. They spent a week in several areas of the island near Montego Bay, working on eight projects. In each area they distribut- ed clothes, food, and a most valuable item, soap. The work was hard, but the group enjoyed their time in this land of hope. In only a week the group became attached to Jamaica, its people and its culture. They felt a bond which was formed and a desire to continue to help even after returning to their own land. Through this special trip, Montreat-Anderson became aware ol an incredible place which will in the future be an emphasis of mission and prayer. The Jamaica crew was a diverse group of indi- viduals chosen by President Vaughn. These were: Tim Valasco, Ann Travis, Guy Bishop, Janet Grogan, Jeremy Jones. Mickey McKin- ney, Doug Beldon, Tracey Sauls. Todd Holtet, Michelle Thomas. Paula Johnson. Jimmy Smith and Jim Pritchard.

LOOKING UPWARD Montreat-Anderson College offers a wonderful opportunity for one to deepen their love for the Lord and share their faith. A number of ministries are available for one to be involved in, as well as prayer meetings and support groups. The Student Christian Association has several community ministries as well as a large group fellowship, Vespers. Concerts are a special time in which the students can praise and worship through music and dance. A special thing about Montreat is that one can always find a retreat in which to spend some quiet time with our Heavenly Father. Montreat offers a chance to grow spiritual- ly through these groups, Christian fellowship or just the peaceful surroundings which magnifies God’s Love. Billy Sprague was the opening concert at Montreal and taught us that Life is hard, but God is Good. La Via Esta Dure. Mais Dieu est Bon. Spiritual Emphasis is a week of reflection and guidance for our Christian walk. This year the speaker was Dr. Hughes from Wheaton. 111. Tammy Eliot was a special guest at vespers, who touched our hearts through her music and message. 16
