Word of Life Bible Institute Yearbook 1995

IN HIS SERVICE "...Choose you this day whom ye will serve." Joshua 24:15. As human beings we have a choice to either serve God or serve Satan. There is no in between. As Christians, we should be striving to serve in whatev­ er ways we can. That is what ministry is all about. Word of Life puts a strong emphasis on ministry. What good does all of our classroom knowledge do us, if we never apply it to our everyday living? In Mark 16:15 our Lord commands us, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." In response to this command, Word of Life requires its students to participate in a ministry. A wide variety of ministries is offered, from singing in Collegians, to witnessing in city streets with Open Air Evangelism. Although ministry is a required part of the curriculum, students are glad for the opportunity to serve and grow from it. As Amy Glenn shares, "I really loved O.A.E.! God burdened my heart for lost souls going to Hell! There are so many unsaved people out there, and so many witnessing opportunities! I grew by God giving me the boldness to share His Good News with anyone passing, for fear that it might be the last time they hear it. Lastly, to be faithful to Him by sharing Jesus not only in O.A.E. , but in my everyday life !!" To serve the Lord is not only our command, but also our joy and honor.
