e ne of the distinct goals of Word of Life Bible Institute is to prepare the student for a life of ministry. No matter what the future directive of the student, they are each laying a founda tion of ministry upon which they can build in the days to come. Such preparation goes beyond the classroom and takes the Word of God into the world in which the student can apply its truth. Some will witness, some will disciple, and I still others will develop relationships, but all ' will mirror their Savior as they serve those in need of the experience of His love. For we know that Christ did not come to heal the well, but instead to restore health to the sick. And so it is with the WOLBI student body as they take the love of Christ to the chur ches, prisons, street corners, and the market place. Effective ministry takes commitment and such commitment can be found in the hearts of the students that strive to reach their world and step up into the leadership of the next generation, ready to lead the way. Through a variety of creative ministry op portunities, students develop the skills and discipline needed to follow through on their ministry commitments. Once a life is seen I changed or a report is heard of the effect that ministry has had on an individual, the stu dent's commitment deepens and the burden I to give of one's self becomes even more I; intense. fl Within the ministry department there area a number of practical goals, but at the heart iHj of the entire department lies the realization I that if we are to be successful fishers of men, I I we must first lay the foundation of commit- r ment that only Christ could demonstrate.
