In 1986, the College signed an agreement with People's University of China to provide them with English teachers, joining the likes of Princeton and Duke, who also have similar agreements with People's. This came as an indirect result of the MIS teams that have gone to China. Princeton, Duke, and Karl Marx University in East Berlin. They will be abroad from September 2 through July I, 1987. 4 One of the team, Sharon Rawson, likened their work to that of the Apostle Paul, "who made tents to survive but his main purpose was to do evangelistic work. "5 A natural by-product of the evangelistic emphasis at Cedarville is the Missionary Internship Service program. Under the direction of the office of Vice President for Christian Ministries Harold Green, athletic teams, musical teams, puppet teams, and work teams have gone throughout the world to promote the cause of Jesus Christ. Since 1970, when the program was implemented, 1,043 young people have participated in Missionary Internship Service programs in 40 different countries. Students have raised over a million and one-half dollars in support of these various projects which broaden the students' cultural base while exposing them to mission life on a short-term basis.o In addition to these international programs, Cedarville College students were busy in the immediate environment of the college: Nine hundred students took part in compas– sion and discipleship ministries which were di– rected to jail inmates, senior citizens, hospital– ized individuals, wayward children, handi– capped persons, college students on other campuses, and local churches. Our gospel teams conducted over 400 church services and 272 oth– er students carried out additional ministries. In all. 72 percent of our students volunteered for Christian service. 7 Traditionally, Cedarville College students, along with members of the faculty and staff, 1M/Chapter XX have been very sensitive to community needs. At times these projects have been very public, as in the "Clean Greene Project" when students helped clean the county. At other times their service has been very private. For example, the men of Alpha Chi provided the labor to insulate the homes of the elderly on fixed incomes through the Dayton Power and Light Volunteer Insulation Program. In early May 1981, the college young people participated in one of the most touching ministries of this decade. Four Oaks, a school for the mentally retarded and multi– handicapped in Xenia, lost its funding for their summer camp program. Judy Lamusga, Di rector of Children's Services, received a call from King's Island, a large amusement park near Cincinnati, indicating that if the school could provide 50 volunteers to work concession stands for one night, they would donate $1,200 to the school. Lamusga thought this would be impossible. "Then," she said, "I thol!ght of Cedarville College." An announcement was made in chapel and 71 students responded, 21 more than needed. The students worked from 6:30 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. for free and received only one meal ticket in return. Four Oaks will receive $24 for each volunteer.~ Since this occurred during Cedar Weekend, one of the busiest weekends at the college, students who participated made a significant sacrifice. Those students who volunteered arrived back on campus at 5:00 a.m. and still pdrticipated in all the festive activities of Cedar Day on Satur– day. "I've got goose bumps for what Cedarville College is doing:' adds Lamusga. "Now our camp program is a possibility:'"
