Chcp®11 e read in the scriptures of the manifold grace of God. Peter uses the term in relation to the gifts given to his servants as they minister to the body of Christ. It has been a real joy experiencing this through the chapel program during the 1983-84 school year. The varied colors of the spectrum were clearly presented during the major Bible conference of the year. Starting with the Fall Bible Conference and Dr. David Burnham's emphasis on commitment. The variety of this missionary conference emphasied the different types of servants God uses: Dr. Vigo Olsen a talented surgeon, Dr. Raymond Buck a veteran missionary, Brother Norm Nicklas a young effervescent church planter and the qualified French missionary, Jan Gazdik. Dr. Don Jennings brought a vibrant challenge through the Spring Enrichment Conference that will long be remembered. Many special speakers were used to bring a special insight into the ministry "Many special speakers were used to bring a special insight into the ministry and the Word of God." and the Word of God. Several that were extremely helpful in showing the many colors of God's grace were:Professor David Warren on "True Spirituality", Dr. Joe Stowell III speaking on "Jesus Loves Me", and those special inforum days with the young Pastor Don Jennings and his battle with M.S.; Mrs. Debbie Haffey and her struggle with grief, and finally the reflection on tradgedy with last years graduate Curtis Hoke. I don't think I'll ever forget how faithful God is to his servants. I believe the Staley Lecturship was one of the best with Dr. Gary Friesen and Decision Makin and the Will of God.Let us not forget the special servants who shared during the inforum; Dr. Jerry Falwell, Mr. Samuel Ericsson, Dr. Paul Feinberg, and Dr. Richard Mouw on the Christians' Responsibility to Politics. Last, but not least, the timely messages by our president especailly the message on honesty. How timely and challenging. God has many colors in His manifold grace and we have been richly blessed through the gifts of His servants in our chapel services during the 198384 school year. by Pastor Harold Green 152 Chapel
