by Inez McGahey Curt ’42 and Olga (Schultz ’43) Claassen, Champa, Bilaspur, India: “W e were in vited to our former home in Janjgir to teach in the three-week Bible course. Curt directed a Bible Camp for boys, grades seven through high school . . . and from the thirty-one who attended, several made decisions to accept Christ. Fourteen church es sent delegates to the Indian Church Conference held at Korba. It was a joy to see dedicated young men take leader ship in the Conference.” Praise the Lord for a Biola friend who has made possible the purchase of the large Shantz memorial pipe organ which will be in the new music building, which is now being constructed on the La Mirada campus. At the annual Biola staff fellowship twenty-five staff and board members were awarded service pens for periods of service ranging from five to thirty years. Among these were Dr. Bay A. Myers, chairman of the Board of Directors; and Dr. Daniel Bose, board member and director of the Jewish Department, for twenty-five years of service; and Miss Helen White ’20, for thirty years at Biola. Howard ’61 and Peggy Smith are work ing with the American Sunday School Union in Golden, Colorado. “ Howard con tinues to work on the Bural Outreach and Pioneers For Christ Manuals. The entire family thrills as we see the hand of the Lord working in answer to prayer.” Herbert ’42 ,’44 and Ruth (Downs ’42) Bess, “W e rejoice that Herb received his Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Michigan. He is still pro fessor of Hebrew and Old Testament at Grace Theological Seminary, Winona Lake, Indiana. Ruth has been employed full time in a local Christian office since Herb’s return from his year of study in the Holy Land in 1960. The children are both in senior high school.” James ’58 SMM and Kay (Kiyoko ’58) Kakumasu, Brazil: “ At the recent work shop the Urubu alphabet was approved. Future goals include a primer construc tion, literacy work, and further analysis of the grammatical structure of the lan guage. . . . Kay is still in a cast from waist to knees because of fractures. Pray for us.” Catherine (Callaway ’51) and James Cook and family, Brigham City, Utah: “ The Navajo Christmas party was Decem ber 22, with 158 students present. Jim has classes at Kamas and Heber also. The attendance at each place has been near record for the last few weeks, with six professions of faith. The Kamas building program is almost completed.” Jerry Stroup ’62 has been accepted by the Bible Christian Union, Brooklyn, New York, as a missionary to France, “ where there are thousands of towns and villages with no established Gospel testimony.”
For 28 years we have been telling Israel of her Messiah over 50 and more radio stations at home and abroad. Literature and personal follow-up by our mis sionaries has made this ministry very effective. Now in faith we are enlarging our missionary staff. Many of the 3 million Jews in the N.Y. area, and in other large cities are open to approach with the Gospel. The time to reach them is very short. Will you take this expanded outreach on your heart, to pray and share? Send for free copy of our Informative quarterly, MESSAGE TO ISRAEL

PASTORATE
MISSIONS
Gives a basic introduction to home and foreign missions and provides constant challenge, through numerous missionary chapels and faculty emphasis, to carry the Gospel to the uttermost parts of the world.
Provides the student with the content of his message, the manner of delivery of his sermon, successful methods of pastoral work, opportunities for practical experience, and an active place ment service after graduation.
TEACHING
EVANGELISM
Believes the successful pastor must be a soul winner, challenges him to this task, supplies him with the tools requisite to winning souls for Christ, and instructs him in their use in the local church and in evangelistic campaigns.
Lays a firm foundation for theological graduate study for students desiring education as their life work, and equips its graduates to be successful Bible teachers in the local church and upon the mission field.
