The ministry is run by a group of elected students called the Advisory 7. Ben Brown,the chairman of this year's Advisory7,stated that"the main accomplishmentthis year ofthe Fellowship ministry wasthe meaningful worshipservices and the challengesto worship God." This wasdone by using predominantly praise choruseswhichtendto be moreworshipful for the college-aged Christian, and even by dedicating an entire service on one occasion to praise and worship. Brownstated thatthe Fellowship ministry isa very challenging one in that unlike most local churches,the attendance is highly transitory. He added,The inconsistency in contacts and relationships is frustrating." However,in the face of the challengesofthe ministry,Brown feltthat he had a team of men in the Ad 7 who could only be described as"dedicated." "Whena needcameup,they were available." Brown cited examples ofthe missions project, Bibles for Russia, and the numerousprayersessions wherethe Ad 7 were always presentand willing toserve. Whenasked whathehad gainedfrom his experience in the Fellowship ministry, Brown responded quickly,"I realized that people are atdifferent levels in their spiritual growth and I am afellow-struggler. I am a very driven and impatient person, and thefellowship ministry intensified my compassion for fellow-believers."
