Torch, Fall 1980

Most of the millions of people in the People's Republic of China have never seen an American college student. This past July, Cedarville College's Mis– sionary Internship Program sent a group of 13 to this newly opened land. Dr. Dwayne Frank, professor of Contem– porary Chinese History, and his wife served as coordinators. The students included six boys and five girls, three of whom were blonds. They made quite an impression because IS INFLATION EATING UP YOUR DOUARS? the Chinese have dark hair. Two of the students spoke fluent Chinese. The goals of the team were twofold: to share their faith in Jesus Christ, and to make contacts with Chinese Christians. Most of the time was spent with Chinese college students who were eager to prac– tice English. In all, 17 days were spent in the Peo– ple's Republic. Afterwards, the team flew to Hong Kong and the Philippines to assist missionaries there. Kenneth St. Clair, Business Man– ager at Cedarville College, is now conducting financial seminars in churches around the country. He is a certified public accountant with 21 years of experience at the college. "Personal Financial Management for Christians" is the title of his seminars. Four solid hours of guidance are given on budgeting, taxes, investments, and special problems. For more information contact Ken– neth St. Clair, Cedarville College, Box 601, Cedarville, Ohio 45314. Yes, Cedarville IS producing pas– tors, missionaries, and youth workers. However, Cedarville College is often perceived as only a source for out– standing lay professionals. This faulty concept needs to be corrected. Here are three reasons why pastors should recommend Cedarville College to their young people who desire to enter the ministry. Competent, experienced faculty. Our ten professors have been pastors, missionaries, and evangelists. They presently preach, conduct Bible conferences, write Sunday School materials, and author books. In the opinion of many, they form one of the strongest, most balanced Bible faculty of any GARB-approved college. Course work. Over 60 separate courses with a combined total of more than 250 quarter hours are taught within the Bible department. The Comprehen– sive major involves 90 major hours for the student who anticipates entrance into the ministry directly after gradua– tion. The Preseminary major combines Bible, Greek, and necessary foundation courses from the liberal arts. A seminary catalog states: ". .. the best preparation for theological study is a broad program including work in the major fields of the humanities and sciences." What better place can these courses be taken than at Cedarville? Practical experience and interaction. Preaching, singing, campus evangelism, teaching, counsel– ing, dormitory life, campus programs– all these activities give the Cedarville Bible major Biblical balance and perspective. Future ministers-consider Cedar– ville for your preparation. It has it all! 13
