Each new school year we set a goal to see all of our students involved in the Word, in Quiet time, in soul-winning, in missions, in prayer, and in music. It is not long, however, before those twelve short months come to an end. You are now leaving behind the “mountain-top” experience of WOLBI and SYME to enter the “valleys” of service all over the world. It is our prayer that we can continue to minister to you as you leave. Whether it is through the Alumni Association or just meeting you on the road at one of our banquets, tours, or rallies, our goal is to be an encouragement and to perhaps rekindle the gift that God has placed within you. Each of us has been gifted by God for a purpose and it is our joy to see our alumni fulfill that purpose. On the victory side, Jack Wyrtzen Founding Director
What a great year this has been in so many ways! During this phenomenal year of tremendous earth shaking, we witnessed the eclipse of the sun by the moon. At Headquarters, we had a welder’s shield that protected our eyes as we looked at the sun. As I watched this spectacular event, I was conscious of several things. At 1:30p.m., an eerie darkness surrounded me, the temperature dropped, and sud denly I felt uncomfortable in my shirt sleeves. Beyond that I stood in awe as I observed the power of our Almighty God, as the moon did exactly what God had ordered it to do. It didn’t happen by chance; it didn’t happen because astronomers pre dicted it; it happened because God had spoken. In Isaiah 59:1, 2, God said that when we sin there are unavoidable consequences. I trust that you will respond to the coolness caused by your being cut off from the Son, that you will be sensitive to the eerie darkness and restore your fel lowship with the Son. Forgiveness is available if you’ll confess your sin; He is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness ... Believe God has spoken.
