During his stay in France, John Smith enjoyed the view from his south Paris studio apartment. John Smith's radio program allowed him to minister the message of salvation and healing to many French people. Ministry In Action In His Service Here And Abroad he Mission Internship Program is designed to send ORU students ,, , , i , abroad to work with established ministries while earning aca- demic credit. From May '86 to July '87, John Smith, an Evangelism and French major, spent 15 months in France. John interned as a music coordinator of the New Life Christian Cen- ter teaching Biblical principals of praise and worship. Leading worship services, direct- ing the choir and teaching praise and worship seminars was the heartbeat of ministry, says John. In addition, John established a Bible study and prayer fellowship in his apart- Q r ment. I-Ie was also able to spread the gospel through a one-hour radio program. In France I've learned what it means to be a Christian, says John, Not an Amer- ican Christian, but a true follower of Jesus Christ. - Gina Megna inging, preaching, writing, hug- ging, loving. That's what Chris- Vp, M M tian Service Council ICSCJ is all about. From Nursing major to Theology major, the outgoing person to the 'fzsii Mission Internship Program -LJ quieter, more reserved person, there's a place of ministry for everyone in CSC. 'iIt's an opportunity for students to grow and develop their relationships with God while reaching out to others in ministry, says Mike Ewaldt, CSC Ministry Advisor, We offer a variety in ministries, and we also train the students before we send them out. For Keaton Duggan, a senior Christian Education major and CSC Administrative Director, CSC has provided a chance to prepare for ministry after ORU. He says, UCSC has given me a purpose for being here at ORU beyond getting a degree, and that is to minister. - Riley Duggan

Both are synony- mous with Graduate Housing. - Home to students in graduate school, as well as a variety of under- graduates, the Apartment Community serves as a meeting place for students of diverse backgrounds, races, ages, and interests. Responsibilities are often more intense, as many of the students must find ways of balancing their studies along with their fami- lies, jobs, and homes. Graduate Housing Sorry, No Pets One effort to relieve stress involves a sys- tem initiated by the Community Life De- partment to establish a sense of family, unity, and support among residents. Neighboring buildings are grouped to- gether as Villages throughout the com- munity, and a fellow student fcalled a 'flVlayor, J is assigned the responsibility of overseeing the Village. Objectives include building relationships among neighbors, looking out for each other's needs, and so- cial relaxation. A variety of events are planned each se- mester to help facilitate this, including an Ice Cream Social, a Barbeque, and a Singles' Pizza Party, to name just a few. On the practical side, the Apartment Community attempts to serve the residents needs through the Housing Office, Mainte- nance Department, protective guard gates, laundry facilities, children's playground, basketball court, jogging track, and bi- monthly newsletter, The Communicator. The residents contribute to each other's needs through such things as Parents' Night Out, Food Co-op, a Yard Sale, and a vari- ety of fellowship and support groups that meet in the Community Center facilities. Life at Graduate Housing, though not al- ways perfect, is a sincere attempt at combin- ing practical living with practical Christianity. - Lisa Bonn
