"Special Hearts For God . .." frican hurs, bloated children begging for money, poor slide presentations, unable speakers: these arejusr afew things thor come to mind when thinking of a missionary confer- ence.

As we sat throughout the week in the var- ious chapel meetings, we learned what it meant ro "love God" by \Venda° Kempton and ro have a burning desire to minisrer no matter where we are. We heard of the des- perare need to witness on our college cam- puses by Hal Miller, and we heard rhe touching srories of the children from Hawaii by Paul Verslus.

Missionaries were no longer for away peo- ple in our minds but real people with real needs and with very special hearts for God. May we roo develop hearts for witnessing as theirs no matter where we are. Missionary Conf. 53
