STUDENTS INVITE MINiSTERS TO CONDUCT BIBLE STUDIES The student body
of Ambassador College is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the
ministers and their wives at the conference. Since it's been two
years since the previous conference and this is the first
year
there
has been only one Ambassador College campus, there

is an air of
expectancy and excitement. Most of the church pastors have been
directly responsible for any numbe

EXCERPTS OF REGIONAL DIRECTOR'S LETTER TO GTA Following are excerpts
of a recent letter to Mr. GTA from Elbert Atlas. It was thought that
Mr. Atlas' evaluation and impressions of the recent concert in New
Yo�k City's Lincoln Center would be of special interest to tha min

Mr. Atlas mentioned that several proposals were made by attending
dignitaries that could further advance the goals and purposes of AICF.
He also said the whole activity with the participa�ion of the local
brethren working on the program was a real "morale booster." Th�

and skepticism. There w�s the repeated question of 'What's in it
for you?' It was not until a few weeks before the concert that the
'scales of skepticism' were stripped away .
