World of Life Collegians Group 2 are shown as they are on a weekend.

Being involved in Collegians is truly an experience none of us will forget. We all have so many memories . . . “honey if you love me, smile,” on GPL tour; Harold and his dog biscuits; Here comes Harry! 1-2-3-Come praise the Lord with me; Plink Plink; Ro Ray Roo Ree Rah; Snow Camp; Oh, Mr. Donnely; “Daddy D”; Rusty Jones; 6 a.m. Already; “He stirs up all the people!”; There goes the “family” into the mall again; Don’t you fear God?; A star is born in Altoona; Hail Master; Oh no . . . Claudia and Laura are still at the mall.” From GPL to the Passion Play, from singing in a jail to the United States Coast Guard Academy . . . Collegians has been a real blessing to me. Not only have I been able to serve the Lord in song, but I’ve been able to see the power of God change lives. Terri Burbank Certainly we have a God worth praising, and singing is one way to praise Him. Also people come to know Christ through singing and a big joy for me was seeing people saved through the ministry of the Collegians. Julie Miller As Christians, our sole purpose in life is to glorify the Lord in everything we do, whether it be eating, talking, singing, or anything! God has enabled me to use for His honor and glory to play and sing. I indeed count it a privilege to proclaim His word through song. This year in Collegians has greatly impressed upon me tha awesome power of God’s word, not only spoken but sung! Julie Dolan Collegians is a ministry that uses music as the medium of presentation of the message. Collegians give you the opportunity to minister to thousands of people through tours and yet be involved in local churches on weekends. Collegians is unique. Tony Rinkenberger Being in the Collegians is the highlight of this year. I have not only learned lots about music, but have also found this ministry to help me mature spiritually. It’s neat to see Christians work together to see unbelievers receive Christ. Dean Frey Collegians is one of the best experiences in my life. It is the only way I know of sing­ ing praises to God, while seeing people make life changing decisions for the Lord. John Frizzell Traveling is the highlight of the year spent in hard work learning music. It gives us a chance to show others what we have worked hard on this year as well as present the gospel message. Lynn Costley Music should be a vehicle to prepare hearts for the message of the word of God that is to be shared by a preacher or evangelist. Judging by the number of precious souls we have been blessed to see saved this year, as we’ve performed around the country, we can rejoice that God has empowered us and enabled us. I will especially remember Mr. Donley’s commitment to excellence, as a powerful motivator, and Miss Newton’s tender loving care and thoughtfulness on our tours. The greatest impression made upon me was to see how Jack Wyrtzen never misses a single opportunity to share Christ, either with a tract or the spoken word, with everyone he encounters, whatever their station in life or wherever he meets them. Jack seems always to have time for everyone, and a spirit of humility that speaks louder than any words. I shall have special memories and thoughts of each Collegian, and it will seem a lit­ tle sad, at least, to be apart from them as the Lord takes us on our separate ways. But oh! What wonderful reminiscing we will have to do in heaven! Such rejoicing there will be! John Lawrence
