MISSIONS CONFERENCE 1984 The Missions Committee started late in the fall quarter, as they diligently organized ideas for what would become the greatest Missions Conference ever. The first thing on the agenda was a slogan. Many were suggested, but after long deliberation the slogan "Reap Don’t Sleep" was chosen. Soon after, the Word of Life professional Drama team put their minds together and came up with the first of many skits. "What could be happening?’’, the class was inquiring, Z’s everywhere in Council Hall, and strange skits were being performed. Little did they know the stage was being set. During the winter break much time was spent in prayer. The Missions committee asked that the Lord would grant wisdom upon themselves concerning an offering goal, and moreover that lives would be motivated toward missions. LJpon returning, last minute details were still being attended to, including one last important assembly with Harry Bollback. This meeting had the purpose of choosing the 1984 Missions Faith Promise goal. Everyone seemed to have their minds set on reaching the entire
list of mission needs which totaled to $63,100.00. Well it was a unanimous vote and the goal was set for the entire amount. The mission boards represented were as follows: Mission Representative Unevangelized Field’s Missions Bob Cable
