Clifford Holli- field, pastor of the Fort' Wayne Gospel Temple, received the vision of sending forth more Workers into the vvhitened field.

Construction was in order and soon the second and third floors were added to the south end of the Temple. The second floor was to be used as class rooms and the third serving as dormitory space.

In August of 1941, While in Canada holding a Bible Confer- ence, Rev. Hollifield met Rev. Lloyd C. Clark. Through this meeting the problem of Who should act as Dean was settled. Rev. Clark came to Fort VVayne and soon the curriculum was arranged. God-fearing men and Women were secured as teachers and in September, 1942, the Temple Missionary Training School was under Way as young men and Women came to prepare for our Lord's service.
