The Practical Element in Bible College Training . N Faithfulness in the area of Christian Service is required of every student- this includes being prepared and being on time. However, Christian Service is not just an assignment, but an opportunity-an opportunity to share the Good News of Salvation through song, testimony, and proc- lamation of the Wford. To be successful, every Christian Service opportunity must be undergirded with prayer and performed in the power of the Spirit of God. Paigils 4 QR A .

The things which thou hast seen of me among many Wit- nesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Q2 Tim. 2:2j The purpose of the Christian Service Department is to pro- vide each student with the opportunity to put the knowledge he has acquired, in Bible and related areas, to work in a specific ministry, thus giving him valuable experience in serving the Lord before his graduation from Bible College. Under the per- sonal supervision of Mr. Launstein, Christian Service director, each student is placed in an area of service which corresponds to his interest and abilities. Students first represent the Savior -then the school-in various church-related ministries as well as in Bible clubs, Juvenile Court, Crippled Children's Clinic, rescue missions, nursing homes, and other such areas of service. Often the Christian Service Department acts as a clearing- house for ministry opportunities available to faculty members and alumni as well as students. A Christian Service car is provided for the purpose of supplying trans portation to Bible clubs and other Christian Service opportunities.
