f T Q REVIVAL ' What does revival mean? Revival is a fanning back to life, a work that begins in the heart of the child of God and results in knowing Christ more fully. ' L We students here at NMBS prayed for this earnestly. We, involved .ourselves in prayer chains which proved to be quite meaningful. We volunteered to take turns praying one-half hour out of our eight hour night, thus having prayers ascend throughout the night. Most of us had nev- er used so much effort to pray, to get up at night and pray alone in the prayer room. However, we received blessings through prayer, and some found we had event more to tell Him than time allowed. Our revival was held two week ends, December 9- 11 and December 15- 17. Kenneth Brenneman from Ontario, Can- ada served as God's messenger the first week end, and Paul Ebersole from Ann- ville, Pennsylvania the second week end. A number from the community responded to the special invitations we handed out, by attending these services. We were all challenged to a deeper, fuller life in Christ. For some it meant rededication, for others confessing sins, even though it seemed small, thus bring- ing total victory. All praise and glory to God for victory in Jesus. Counseling: n The following acrostic and quotations make up some of the choice gleanings from these meetings. 'Do you believe in TV - Total Victory? I do. .Jesus is more than a fire escape.

Jr' We students were happy to share with others what Christ has done for us. Too many times we are content to stay at home, not seeming to realize that there are souls dying without Christ. It was also a learning experience for the fellows as they prepared the topics. May we con- tinue to pray that the Lord will nourish the seed that has been sown. -Mary Zimmerman' sure others determined in their hearts to serve the Lord better. These good times went fast and already it was Sunday evening. As Brother Shank spoke to us concerning The Christian War , I am sure we can agree that we must fight with the army of Jesus Christ. Put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil. Ephesians 6:11. To the most sincere, I am sure this weekend revival has meant much. -Ruth Gingrich Dear fellow students of Numidia Bible School, I wish to extend my appreciation to all of you for your kindness in making it possible for me to attend this Bible School. My prayer is that God will richly bless you all. In His service, Elva Wilt I V .xgf . I . Q ns. -1-. qi. fx-an 1 ' ,, . 'ng'-1, ..-1- 1 ,qs fvsvm-, gy 'V ' ,,,g,f-f '
