SOAR WITH THE EAGLES

We, the yearbook staff of 1987-88, realize that we have put you students through a lot of anxiety by keeping the blueprints of the yearbook a secret. We have been bom barded by many questions: 1. "Is my picture in the yearbook?" 2. "What is the theme?" 3. "Who is on the staff?" 4. "Can I have a peek? Just a little one; I won't tell anyone else. Well, we hope that we will answer your questions now; and that you thoroughly en joy this book with all of its spiritual hints, special memories, quiet moments, and hap py times. it

"It's true — we don't know!"

Ladies and Gentlemen ...

Here we go!

'J H he eagle's wings are very pow erful. An eagle can carry a lamb in its claws for many miles. With his wings, he can climb to great heights. We as Christians must help to carry the burdens of our fellow brothers and sisters with comfort and encour aging words from God's Word. We must also have a positive effect on society to keep our nation flying high.

'J'he eagle's 270° vision allows him to see a "big picture" of things no mat ter where he is or what situation he is in. His sharp eyes and well rounded vision allow him to react quickly and efficiently to situations. As students here at Word of Life, we want to see things with that "big pic ture" vision. We look at every aspect of our training as an opportunity to add to that "big picture." Our goal is to glorify God in any way we can so that others can see Christ in us. Here at WOLBI we see our work assignments not as an opportunity for personal gain, but as an opportunity to store up eternal treasures in heaven. It has become an "Open Door" for us to use our abilities in order to reach out and serve others in various ways such as waitressing, housekeeping, dishpit, and maintenance. This enables us to be involved in a work situation so in fu ture years we will have the godly train ing to see with this well rounded vision. This makes us able to react quickly and 1 / 1 i- 1 a a n a X s~\

rT' he wings of an eagle have many layers of feathers. Each layer makes its own cir cular motion. These layers all function as a unit for one goal and that is to raise the eagle far up into the sky. We view our ministries like the eagle's wing. There are many different ministries here and they all function in different ways. Groups such as Open Air Campaigners and Collegians travel into our many different cities in order to reach people with the Gospel. We also have ministries which reach out to local areas such as Prison Ministry, Local Church, and Child Evan gelism Fellowship. The ultimate goal here at Word of Life is that the Gospel might go out into the uttermost part of the world.

HT he eagle, unlike many other birds, -*■ must constantly renew its feathers in order to keep itself from becoming totally helpless. We, as WOLBI students, must continually renew our souls and "put on the armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Eph. 6:11) We must remember that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19) and we must keep ourselves physically alert. Here at WOLBI we do this through eating, sleeping, exercising, and studying.

A n eagle must spread his wings in order to overcome the law of gravity. Spreading his wings allows him to pick up and pull away from the gravity which is pulling him down. For us as Christians, the law of gravity is much like the law of sin which is constantly fighting to pull us down. As Christians we need to spread our wings by continually praying and living the truths of God's Word. We can over come the law of sin by prayer, meditation on God's Word, and fellowship.

T he nest of an eagle is situated either in the safety of a high tree, or in a crevice of a cliff. This provides protection, and also a clear surveillance of the territory. As students here at WOLBI, we aim to set our standards high, above that of the world's. One major area we keep our standards in, is our interpersonal relationships. We feel that God must be the center of our lives. In keeping ourselves above reproach, we have developed a new respect for one another.

"When the right eous are in author ity, the people re joice . . (Prov. 29:2a)

Director Jack Wyrtzen

Jack Wyrtzen, President and Founder of Word of Life. "I think the big problem we face today is that most Christians do not even know why we are here on earth. This is clearly explained in Acts 15:14, "God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name." Where from? Revelation 5:9, . . out of every kin dred, and tongue, and people, and nation." We also need to remember II Cor. 4:7, "But we have this treas ure in earthen vessels, that the ex cellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." It's wonderful to know these things but it's far greater to do them." JACK WRYTZEN Phil. 2:16 and Ps. 37:23 and 24

Harry Bollback, Co-Director of Word of Life, has been working with Jack Wyrtzen for many years. He is originally from Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Philadelphia Col lege of Bible. His favorite verse is Joshua 1:9. "Through these many years. Word of Life has made an effort to train young people in the Word of God, then to see them move out for the Lord, all over the world. There is no better place to see this accom plished than at the Word of Life Bible Institute. May God make everyone of you to be men and women of the Word. May you always live what you have received here at the Word of Life Bible Institute." HARRY BOLLBACK Joshua 1:9

Co-Director Harry Bollback

George Theis, originally from Philadel phia, PA, has been working with Word of Life for twenty-nine years. He has attended Whitworth College, Columbia Bible College, Philadelphia College of the Bible, and Ref. Epis. Seminary. His favorite verse is Gala- tions 1:4. Daniel was an extraordinary example of how to overcome the pagan peer pressure of Gentile society. As you step outside the direct influence of the WOLBI, maybe you ask the question that so many ask: "Where do I begin?" In I Cor. 4:2 the Holy Spirit gives us an answer, "It is required in steward that a man be found faithful." Where's a good place to begin? A solid commitment to be faithful, obedient, loyal, dependable, and someone the Lord can count on all the time. This means that I faithfully obey the Holy Spirit promptings; I faithfully do what I know I should do; and I faithfully accept the Lord to fulfill His promises to me as His child. May the Lord bless you and use you daily as you strive to be faithful. GEORGE THEIS

I Cor. 15:58 "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord." I trust that as our year of study together in the mountain draws to a close, that the lessons you have learned here will be anchored fast in your own hearts and souls. In the coming months, may your testimony as a consistent, hard-working servant of the Lord be evident to all who come in contact with you. It is our prayer that this year will just be a starting point for your spiritual growth and that as the years go by, you will grow closer and closer to the Lord. Stu Page

Her favorite verse is Prov. 3:5,6.

Marshall was bom in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada. He grad uated from WOLBI, Tennessee Temple University, and Grace Theological Seminary. His favorite verse is Eph. 2:8, 9. "Sometimes we wish Linus' remarks, as he watched Snoopy crying over a melting snowman, weren't so true: "Poor Snoopy . . . I see he's lost another friend . . . it's too bad. He's so sen sitive." And even though partings do bring a kind of sorrow, they also bring a sense of great joy. For I know that many of you will step out and do many great things for God. Stand steadfast and unmovable in spite of the heat of God's testing, for we have no greater joy than to hear that our friends are walking in truth."

Brian Gower was bom in the state of Maine. He graduated from Greenville College, WOLBI, and SYM. His favorite verse is I Thess. 5:24. "Class of '88' ... Faithful is he that calleth you who also will do it. Remember that no matter what God puts before you, 8 weeks of Snow Camp, Open Air Meetings, one on one witnessing, etc. He will enpower you to do it if you but remain faithful. As Dr. Colder taught you. Don't Quit.' Go out of here, use all that you have learned, and make Christ known to a needy and dying world."

COLLEGIANS

Being a part of the Collegians with all of its various ministries has been a great experience and privilege. Hav ing practice every school day is great because it helps me get in a worshipful mood, a time when I can sing out for God's glory and praise. I had the joy and privilege of leading many people to Christ. What a joy it is to be part of the many ministries of the Word of Life Collegians. — Jeremy Bell Singing for the Lord has been fan tastic. We have seen multitudes of blessings in ministry to the local church and to crowds in civic centers. It's exciting to see the hundreds of peo ple saved and the many more blessed and encouraged by God-given tal ents. There's nothing like it. — Craig Stumpf

O.A.C.

My O.A.C. group went to Phil adelphia in early November. Alter a weekend of learning how to paint on the sketchboard and memorizing our messages, we were ready to go on the streets. All of our nervousness and fright was gone the first day when we saw lives change and people make decisions for Christ. To me O.A.C. made witnessing exciting and enjoyable. I learned so much about the ways different people believe and how a simple mes sage can lead them to the truth. — Kyle Hammersmith

I was in Boston O.A.C. *4. The Lord really opened my eyes to lost people going to hell. I was really blessed by a certain prayer the Lord answered. I prayed that He would send a witch that I could tell about Jesus Christ. On our first day on the streets, a witch came by one of the board meetings and she asked how she could get saved. I got not only a chance to lead her but her friend to the Lord. I really praise God for using me. — John Oliff

PRISON & BASKETBALL

The Prison Ministry deals with taking the Word of God into several prisons in the surrounding area. We bring hope and comfort to the many men behind prison walls and fences. Through the Prison Ministry we try to show the men that there is another life beside the one they are so used to living. Being an ex-inmate, the Prison Ministry has been special to me because it has shown me from where I come from to what I could become. — Larry Hall

My ministry is a very exciting one. What the team does is play basketball in prisons, keeping our testimony and being an example to the unsaved players as well as ourselves. The Prison Ministry has taught me to en c ou r a g e those around me. It's really taught me that no matter if you're be hind bars or not. all people have to hear the Gospel. I've got ten to witness to a couple of guys; but most of all I've gotten to be their friend and they respect me and what I stand for. This ministry has helped me to share the Gos pel and be more open to people that need the Lord. — Tommy Homedo

C.E.F.

The CEF Ministry stands for Child Evangelism Fel lowship. Each week we go out into the community and take the Gospel message to children. My life has been greatly blessed. I have learned how to more effec tively work with children re garding their spiritual lives; and because of that, I have had the privilege of seeing children make life changing decisions for Christ. — Penny Crabb CEF has always played an important part in my life. I have grown up in Good News clubs, 5-Day clubs, and overnight camps. Through this influence, God has called me to work with CEF as a full time member. One of the main reasons I came to WOLBI was to be better equipped to minister to children. — Tracy Reffeor

PERTH

Our main ministry at Perth is working the bus ministry. To see the conditions these kids have to survive in breaks our hearts, predom inantly poor and almost en tirely living with only one of their natural parents. Sun day mornings, when they come bouncing out to our buses, smiling ear to ear, all their circumstances seem to disappear. All we can see is the love Jesus has for these little kids. Even with that in mind, we still must deal with kids that are violent by na ture. It is not uncommon for one of our students to be punched, kicked, shoved, and occasionally even bit ten. But when one of these comes to Christ, it makes it all worthwhile. — Billy Graham

LOCAL CHURCH

My local church ministry is with Johns town. We spent our Friday nights teach ing and helping their AWANA program and Saturday nights leading their Word of Life club. We spent the rest of the time canvassing, going to local parks and playing ball with some teens while wit nessing and fellowshipping with mem bers of the congregation. Sundays were spent teaching Sunday School and Junior Church. This church ministry has taught me so much about God and His word. — Dave Richard .* . ■ V b *T5 v S \ iVW" . .. ;%v>S3‘* y . /• X ^ ' * I v.\v I really have learned a lot about work ing with the youth teaching them Sunday School and heading the WOL club meet ings.

SNOW CAMP < ©* 0 <3 During the winter quarter usually two to five hundred campers would arrive on cam- < ;•. s \ pus ready to hit the snow and bombard their counselors. Our jobs? To become their friend and make that one weekend the best weekend of their lives physically and most of all spiritually. Here is just a glimpse of the "hard work" we put into nine weekends of camp. Each Thursday morning we as a campus had chapel for snow camp which consisted of challenges, encouragement, and prayer. The prayer for *SNOW* was always a H 09 k " u constant request and the Lord richly blessed us.

Yes, hard work was put into each weekend as if it were the first. Skits and meal time challenges were always different and definitely interesting.

GUEST LECTURERS

The guest lecturers at the Bible Institute at Word of Life are godly men with a sincere desire to learn and grow in God's Word, and to share what they have learned about God's Word. Each different man comes to Word of Life and for ten hours a week teaches a comprehensive study of a particular doctrine, such as Creationism, or a specific book, such as Galatians, in a manner which is clear and easy for us to understand. The guest lecturers share in different styles, but each one of them is sent from God to help us learn what God said when He gave us this great Book, and how it applies to our lives today.

THE BOOK!!

Putting this yearbook together has been a lot of hard work, and we've spent many long hours doing it! We hope that as you flip through its pages, it will bring back many memories of all the happy times, serious moments, and special things you've learned throughout the year. Mr. Wicks was our staff advisor, and we thank him for his support patience. Darlene did the faculty pages and put in a lot of extra time and creativity in many other pages. Pete did most of the artwork within the book — Fantastic job! He also took many pictures of the different activities we had on campus. Hattie put together all of the ministry pages plus a lot of extra time. Robin (yearbook editor) worked on the opening pages and tried to bring together everyone's ideas. Many of you helped us out in many different ways: borrowing your typewriters, volunteering your extra time, submitting your wacky photos, and creative artwork (thank you much Brad Mueller and Carl Utter) — Great Job Guys! Special thanks to Eric Mann for his pictures from SYM and many others. Thank you! — The Yearbook Staff

Thanksgiving Fiesta Thanksgiving day was full of activities and ex citement, a day long awaited. Many friends and family members came to help us celebrate. The first activity of the day was the Turkey Trot. Then there was the Powder Puff game in which the S.Y.M. girls defeated the B.I. girls. Next was the world famous Turkey Bowl. The B.I. guys won a victory over the S.Y.M. guys. The evening began with the Thanks giving Fiesta Banquet and Wendell Colder as our speaker. To top off our Thanksgiving day, a per formance of The Sights and Sounds ol Christmas was given. It was certainly a day to remember.

What a nice place this would be If the boys were all transported Far from this vicinity.

I'm Larry. This is my brother Daryl and my other brother Daryl — we as representatives of the ATLAS Club would like to address you ladies on the subject of couthness and edification toward your feUow MAN . It was mentioned in your recent RO (without the man) TIC club appearance that there's proof in the Scriptures that man shaU enter the Kingdom of God: I Thess. 4:16 ''The dead in Christ shaU rise first!:'' This is unbridledness of the feminine tongue. May we draw your complete attention to I Peter 3:8-9, 16?
