Biola's World-Wide Prayer Circle Brings Blessing to Thousands F ollowing are a few excerpts from letters received from members of Biola’s World-Wide Prayer Circle. These lines G. F., writing from Duarte, Calif., bears this testimony: “More spiritual blessing than I had ever known before has come to me since the burden was placed upon my heart to pray definitely for the Bible Institute each week. I do praise God for this won derful privilege.” of glowing praise to God indicate in a measure the blessing which has come to in dividuals who have devoted time to prayer on behalf of the Bible Institute of Los An geles. In answer to prayer, it has pleased the Lord to meet the needs of the school in ways too many to enumerate.
By Christina J. Braskamp, Secretary
A. D., residing in Clarkston, Wash., says: “I can certainly join with others of the Prayer Circle in testifying to the bless ing that has come through being a member of this group. This experience has deep ened my prayer life and widened my prayer interests. The call to join the Prayer Circle came to me just after my father, who had been my companion for twenty-five years, was called Home, and I believe the invita tion came at that time in order to help me to allow the Lord Himself to replace what I missed so sorely—the companionship and presence of my father.” Mrs. C. O. M., writes from Brookville, Pa.: “It is a real pleasure to be a member of this World-Wide Prayer Circle. It gives me great joy to know that while I am pray ing here, hundreds of other Christian friends are praying at the same time in other places for God’s work at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles.” Mrs. D. McD. H., of Los Angeles offers a practical plan: “I had read with growing interest in T he K ing ’ s B usiness of the need of Biola, with its 400 students who are required to pay no tuition. A friend
came to me one day, asking me to devote one hour a week to prayer for the school. I agreed to do so. But then the question came to me: For what shall I pray? shall I say over and over again for an hour, ‘O God, bless Biola’? To do so would seem like uttering vain repetitions. Finally I found a plan which helped me. I took be fore the Lord the picture of the school taken in front of the Bible Institute build ing. I began to pray for that long line of faculty members, and the vision came to me of their steadfastness in the faith and of their love and concern for the young lives in their care. Then I studied the students’ faces. I thought: What if one of them was my boy, my g irl! I prayed for each one, as though he or she were my own, and I, felt my own heart strangely warmed. That wonderful reflex blessing was something I had not counted on. Other departments of the Institute’s work presented themselves to my mind. . . An hour to pray? The time was not nearly long enough!” Biola needs more prayer partners. Will you be one? Why not mail the accompany ing coupon today?
