2005 Miracle Yearbook

Christian Ministries The Division of Christian Ministries had an exciting year. Discipleship Ministries saw 600+ students involved in group Bible and book studies as they worked to create an atmosphere for spiritual growth. Community Ministries focused on outreach and was able to provide 75 weekly team ministry locations for students to minister and apply what they learned in chapel and the classroom to real-life ministry settings. They were excited to hear a student from the Dayton Gospel Mission share: "My time at the Mission has changed my life. Every time I go it refreshes the perspective I have on life in general. It has challenged me spiritually, dealing with some very difficult issues and answering some of the hardest theological questions. It is also one of the most fun things I do all week!" MIS had the privilege of hosting the annual missionsconference and of preparing nearly 400 students for short term ministries this year for Christmas break,spring break,and summer. Touring Teams had the privilege of traveling on the weekends and over the summer to over 350 churches and youth groups to minister and represent the university. They "praise God for the opportunity to help students serve Him by serving others." 054 Faculty and Staff Director scipleship Ministries Administrative Assistant Communi Ministries Brian Nester Director Missions Involvement Services Joel Tomkinson Administrative Assistant Heartsong Touring Teams
