It’s very satisfying to see all your work come to fruition like that.” Dr. Curlette also serves as president of the Miami Radio Control Flying Club (www.mrcflyer.org) , located on a 600-acre farm in Xenia, Ohio. The 66-member club includes everyone from WWII veterans to junior high students. Persecuted Evangelist Visits Campus Brother Yun, Chinese evangelist and author of the books The Heavenly Man and Living Water, spoke at Cedarville in September. He shared his testimony of being imprisoned, beaten, and tortured for his unwavering faith in God. After many years of increased persecution, Brother Yun escaped from a maximum security prison and eventually made his way to the Western world to share his testimony and challenge Christians to live out a passionate commitment to Jesus Christ.
