places under the direction of a Word of Life staff member. The effective tools of the Word of Life Evangelism Ministries are surveys, sketchboards, tract distribution and counseling.
Second-year students will have the opportunity to be a part of a team in the fall to do a few weekends of Word of Life Evangelism Ministries.
E. Spanish Ministry This ministry has the goal of going into areas where Spanish is known and used. This will usually be the metropolitan New York City area, going into Spanish churches and from there reaching out to the neighborhoods and winning souls. There are times when the team members will participate in other Spanish-related ministries in and around the Word of Life Bible Institute area. The students should know Spanish, but it is not necessary. The students will be involved in Snowcamp during the winter. F. Sports Ministry The sports ministry has an incredible opportunity for discipleship and evangelism through the avenue of sports. This ministry is available for those students who have special abilities in the area of athletics. Tryouts are necessary to select the students who will form the teams that represent Word of Life Bible Institute. A bulk of our games will be played against the secular colleges in the area. Along with the scheduled games that compose the athletic season, there is the opportunity to participate in running various high school tournaments that are held on our campus. These tournaments give our athletes the opportunity to referee, keep score and even have one-on- one input into the lives of the high school athletes who attend. Another opportunity for some of our players is that of going into prisons at various times to play the inmates and have a chance to witness and disciple in this field of evangelism.
