When the trembling, novice freshman comes to Moody Bible Institute not knowing what he will find, he soon realizes that here is a school filled with teachers and students who love his Savior and who are determined to serve his Lord. MBI has its per- petual classes, its stacks of assignments, and its busy students, just like any other college or institute. Moody is different in that all the rush and pressure is centered in a purpose; and this purpose is cen- tered in a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ lived 2000 years ago and left His impression on all the world. Jesus Christ died 2000 years ago and provided a way of salvation for all men. This same Jesus rose again and lives today. Because Jesus Christ conquered death, those who belong to Him have a reason for living—to serve Him. Moody Bible Institute seeks to equip a group of these “‘Christ-ones”’ with the spiritual and practi- cal training that will make them more effective ser- vants for the Lord. MBI trains students for the future, but each student finds that his relationship with Christ not only mo- tivates him to prepare for future service but also demands his involvement in the present. His rela- tionship with Christ means involvement today— involvement with the world, the city, and the cam- pus around him.

Involvement With The World The Moody student finds that his relationship with Christ involves him in the world for two reasons. First, as a believer in the Lord Jesus, he belongs to the world-wide body of Chr ist—those of every na- tion who have trusted Christ as Savior. Second, being a believer, he becomes a debtor to the univer- sal body of unbelievers—those of every nation who are lost in sin. As the Apostle Paul said, “‘I am debt- or both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.” In the same way a doctor must share his cure with the sick, the believer must share the Gospel with the unsaved. Many members of the global body of believers met together in November for the Berlin Congress for World-Wide Evangelism to discuss methods of reaching the world for Christ. Moody students be- came indirectly involved in this effort through Pres- ident Culbertson’s participation in the Congress. Statistics show that as of 1966-67, 2595 former Moody students were actively serving the Lord on mission fields. These statistics include such recent students as Ray and Anita Nickel, now in Brazil; and Billy Bray, George Knoll, Steve Isham, and Sylvester Jacobs, sharing the Gospel in Europe and India. Present students, who cannot go to the far corners of the earth just now, can take part in the quest for souls through prayer, MU projects, and witnessing to the city around them. ‘Those who can- not go across the sea can cross the street and become involved with the lost of Chicago, for they, too, are part of the world. During the fall semester the MBI student body donated money to send to India for the printing of gospels of John. This project was sponsored by the Missionary Union; the student collection was matched by the Moody Literature Mission. Colporters Recorded tapes of the gospel message in three languages are displayed at an MBI Missionary Conference booth in Campus Corner.
