Ian Leitch presents a challenging introduction to “coffee house evangelism” with sound effects. After a short testimony, Dick Paddy shows slides of his work with service- men in the Philippines. 25 Friday night focus leader, Rod Kamrath, welcomes Dick Paddy, who ministers to servicemen. M. U. FOCUS Human Interest Enlivens Missions Rod Kamrath, Friday Night Focus leader, expressed a desire to inject a new enthusiasm and interest into this branch of Missionary Union. He did it by scheduling such speakers as Clyde Taylor, with the Evangelical Foreign Missions Association, who effectively portrayed missionary life. Previous years stressed missionary facts. This year M. U. Focus gave an overall view of Missionary personalities and life as well. M.U. Focus placed a special emphasis on home missions. Several Friday evenings presented the work of men like George Sweeting, Moody Church pastor, Wesley Hartzel, Chicago's American news reporter, and Tom Skinner, New Y ork youth worker. The purpose of the accent on home missions was to bring before Moody students the vast op- portunities for Christian service on the home field.

MISSIONARY CONFERENCE Conference Replaces Classes From October 11-13 MBI dismissed all classes and made way for the annual Missionary Conference. As in any other conference, the speakers challenged their listeners to give their lives in missionary service. Many in the audience expe- rienced a new inspiration and zeal for missions; but its goal to educate as well as challenge and inspire made this partic- ular missionary conference distinctive. The conference sessions varied from missionary speakers to times of informal questioning and discussions. The stu- dents especially appreciated the opportunity to talk person- ally with the missionaries, both at the dinner table and in special interviews. The missionaries too found the conference very reward- ing and enjoyed the responsiveness of the students. For many, the conference opened wider horizons in missions than they had ever known before. Following panel discussion, Dr. Gotaas converses with Mr. Henry Owen of Overseas Missionary Fellowship. m Andes Evangelical Mission ert ‘Sais Le cE SAN ice: stain wre PS PN semecRR ecncon ee SR ROR I CLE, RUSSERT UA Somes “Sinem mer ecnebee wetter eiont eatin “SemGiRt “AC NRC ECCEEEE A “Missions In World Conflict’’ provides a relevant, interesting theme for Students become familiar with the mission boards through their displays the ’67 missionary conference. and literature in Campus Corner. 2
