1986 Miracle Yearbook

T o me,the unique element in the history of Cedarville College is its ministry-history. To be a part of Cedarville is to be involved in the lives of others. Reflecting upon those occasions when Cedarville touched my life, I remember the ministry of Dr.James T.Jeremiah, who served as pastor of the church I attended as a child, and the ministry of two Cedarville seniors who influenced me during my teen years as teachers of my Sunday School class. As a missionary with Baptist Mid-Missions in 1971,Cedarville College served me. And following a term of service in Honduras,I returned to Cedarville in 1976 — this time as a student — to complete the undergraduate requirements necessary for advanced theological education. God's preparation of me for his work has included this College again and again. Nine years ago I never would have believed that I would be asked to participate in the on going ministry-history of Cedarville College. With double the student population and almost twice as many buildings as it had just about a decade ago,Cedarville continues to make history as it faces the challenges of what may be the last generation before Christ's return. May God sanctify my contribution toward the future ministry of the College to bless children, teens, and young or mature adults as they prepare to serve him,just as He has blessed my life through the ministry-history which is Cedarville's!
