A S A YOUTH, I felt the Lord calling me into full-time Christian serv­ ice. Graduating from the University of California the Lord showed me my place of preparation should be the

all his heart. Through his influence I saw the need to yield myself one hun­ dred per cent to Christ. After being graduated from U.C. L.A. I entered Talbot Theological Seminary where, along wi t h my studies, I am working with Campus Crusade for Christ.
