MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION HAL RICKER, President BOB WILSON, Vice-President “BING” BLAUVELT, Secretary DON PARVIN, Treasurer The keynote of the Ministerial Association is service. This organization's purpose is to associate its members with some of the problems and oppor- tunities of the preaching gospel ministry. We have been attempting to further train the young men at King’s for service in both the homeland and abroad. The society endeavors to strengthen the intellectual attainments of its mem- bers by acquainting them with modern church problems and theological trends, and attempts to stimulate in its members a sense of responsibility before God in a faithful performance of secular and spiritual studies. This year the organization sponsored a drive to collect clothing for over- seas Christian relief along with a collection of money for food and other necessities. About the middle of the first semester a morning prayer group was started with Henry Hiddinga, appointed by the association, as chairman. The ‘Boosters,’ or advertising committee, willingly furthers or “boosts” any activity that is worthwhile in the school. Every Tuesday “Deak” Ketchem speaks to the members about the various problems encountered in the ministry. Other outside speakers have been invited to our scheduled evening meetings to address us on various subjects and fields of the preaching ministry. We also have provided a list of speakers who are willing to preach on and off campus, and a large portion of them have had the opportunity to speak in churches, youth meetings, missions, and street meetings. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many ... Matthew 20:28. 62

BIBLE CLUBS HAROLD COOK, JR., President HAL RICKER, Vice-President LOIS. FRY, Secretary JEAN TAYLOR, Treasurer ELEANORE GUSTAFSON, Librarian Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think ... Ephesians 3:20. By “the power at work within us,’ we seek to reach for Christ the children in the vicinity of the college. This year in addition to those students who worked in Bible Clubs last year and returned, the Lord has put upon the hearts of at least a dozen new students, many of whom are fellows, to work with the Bible Clubs. At Christmas time twenty teachers were teaching over two hundred children each week. The witness has gone out from the college to children in Wilmington, New Castle, Buttonwood, Deemer’s Beach, Dobbins- ville, Delaware City, Christiana, Middletown, and Elkton. The Lord has been faithful in supplying our needs when transportation was seemingly lacking, when teachers were needed for new clubs, when new materials were needed—in short, the Lord has anticipated and supplied all our needs. “Win a child, win a life.” He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. wares Esalmet26°6% 61

FOREIGN MISSIONS FELLOWSHIP CLARENCE FURMAN, President ROBERT WARD, Vice-President YVONNE SMITH, Corresponding Secretary JEAN CONWAY, Treasurer Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? This is the challenge from God which the Foreign Missions Fellowship endeavors to set before each student that enters the doors of The King’s College. The FMF has several aims: 1. To aid those who are already on the field. Spiritual support is given through prayer in weekly prayer groups; financial help by gifts to mission- aries; and moral support by letters to those on the field. 2. To meet the needs of those who are preparing for the mission field. A wide variety of useful information is presented through speakers from various countries, films and slides about the fields, and literature in the form of books, publications, and tracts. 3. To present the challenge to those who have not yet answered Christ's call, “Go ye.” The FMF puts this challenge before the students through speakers, films, and various other means, and brings the students before God in prayer, praying that each student that leaves King’s College may be willing to answer: “Here am I; send me.” Isaiah 6:8. 63
