MINISTRIES AVAILABLE Unless on a ministry that required tryouts, first year students will be assigned a ministry team for the fall and take part in Snowcamp in the winter. First year students may join a second year ministry team in the spring, if space is available. The following are some of the ministries available: A. Drama Ministry Team The Drama Team is an exciting ministry that allows students to use their theatrical abilities for the glory of God by participating in skits and programs that present various aspects of the Christian life in action. These dramas are used to preach the Gospel and help others know Christ and live a more consecrated Christian life. Practices will be held weekly and presentations may happen during chapels, church services, conferences, and camps. Tryouts take place during Opening Weekend. B. Word of Life Evangelism Ministries Every first-year student will have the opportunity to do open air evangelism in New York City. Students will receive training on how to personally share their faith and then be given hands-on opportunity to make it practical. This ministry goes directly onto the streets to reach the unsaved on the very grounds where they work and live. Students will be on the streets witnessing and helping churches in the area to reach out to their neighbors who need Christ. You will learn how to win souls using a variety of methods that have been time-proven. The leadership of this ministry are men and women who are experienced with open air work and have a passion for winning the lost. The students will go to the New York City metropolitan area and present the gospel in public places under the direction of a Word of Life staff member. The effective tools of the Word of Life Evangelism Ministries are surveys, sketchboards, tract distribution and counseling.
Second-year students will have the opportunity to be a part of a team in the fall to do a few weekends of Word of Life Evangelism Ministries.
