about all areas of the Work."Each area has presented plans

and budgets before," Mr. Stevenssaid, "but this time everyoneworked together to assemble oneunified proposal."

Since the plan is ongoing, the taskforce will continue to meet. Al­though the first completed versionof the plan has been given to Mr.Tkach, the group will present a re­vised plan (1990 through 1994)next year and each year thereafter.

Ray Wright, manager of MediaPlanning & Promotion and a taskforce member, said the plan is bene­ficial to his department. It will en­sure that "we have the resources inplace and ready when we decide toact." For example, he continued,"there's no benefit in promotingThe Plain Truth if we can't handlethe response."

The task force included DexterFaulkner, editor of the Church'spublications; Barry Gridley, man­ager of Publishing Services; DavidHulme, manager of Communica­tions & Public Affairs; JosephLocke, Ambassador Foundationvice president for international af­fairs; Leroy Neff, treasurer; Larry

Working together

He pointed out that although thetop managers work together, thetask force meetings were an oppor­tunity for all to come together on aregular basis. Therefore, they havea better understanding of how deci­sions they make affect other depart­ments.

Dear brethren:At this special time of

year, it is good to reviewjust what God, in His in­finite love and mercy, hasdone for each of us.

When you think of God'sgrace, what do you think of?Do you think only of justifi­cation? Indeed, justificationis a wonderful gift of God, ofsupreme value, and fully un­deserved on our parts.

But justification is not the solegift God makes available to us.In fact, justification itself wouldnot be possible without other un­deserved, unearned gifts God hasprovided for us.

Let's take a good look atourselves as human beings. Whatare we like, really? Certainly, weare sinners. We are not worthyof coming into God's presence.We are not fit to stand beforeHim. We are unclean, you mightsay. Nothing we could ever do,

Other long-term considerationsthe plan addresses are the feasibilityof building a new television studioand working toward accreditationof Ambassador College.

Operation managers and othersmet regularly beginning in June toproduce the report, which wastermed a milestone by Mr. Schnip­pert.

"The plan," according to Mr.Schnippert, "shows that Mr. Tkachvalues teamwork and is a planner,but that he follows God's lead." Itgoes hand in hand with the empha­sis he places on the Church workingtogether as a family, Mr. Schnip­pert added.

The task force put together a setof objectives that begins with a gen­eral overview and ends in specificdetails.

At each step in the planning pro­cess, the group presented proposalsto Mr. Tkach. He approved eachstep after discussing the proposals.In this way, he was fully involvedwith each stage of the plan's devel­opment.

"It was a valuable experience,"Mr. Schnippert said, "not just be­cause of the end product, but be­cause the men were able to shareideas about how each operates."

Bernard Schnippert, t:oordinatorof the team Mr. Tkach commis­sioned to develop the plan, pre­sented it to him March 16.

The plan is a 43-page analysis ofprojected growth in the WorldwideChurch of God, the AmbassadorFoundation and Ambassador Col­lege.

It begins with a discussion of theimportance of planning and how itrelates to Christian faith. The intro­duction opens by quoting Proverbs29:18: "Where there is no vision,the people perish."

Work of GodMr. Schnippert pointed out that

the introduction also emphasizesthe role of faith in planning. Quot­ing it he said, "God's Work movesahead based not upon where it seesit needs to go, but based upon whereGod in His wisdom decides to leadit."

The plan includes the Work'sstatement of commission, missionstatements for the Church, the col­lege and the foundation, and key ob­jectives for each of the three majorbranches of the Work.

The statement of commission de­fines the overall purpose of theWork, while the mission statementsdefine the general goals of theChurch, college and foundation.The key objectives are specific ap­plications of these goals.

The April 17 Worldwide Newswill include the statement of com­mission and the mission statements.Other parts of the five-year planwill be discussed in future articlesor in a "Personal" from Mr. Tkach.

What is planned

The bulk of the report is devotedto analysis of present programs andexpenses as well as projections of fu­ture needs. The plan mentions thegoal of more effectively preachingthe Gospel in international areas.

A natural consequence of preach­ing the Gospel, according to theplan, will be an increased and grow­ing base of members and co-work­ers around the world. One way thisgoal can be accomplished, the planshows, is through increasing the

Delicate balance

There were some telling points inPrince Charles' speech. He said:"As far as we can tell at present oursis the only planet in the universeable to sustain life as we knowit ... it makes absolutely no senseto me to mess about unnecessarilywith the fragile and delicate chemi­cal compositions which perpetuatelife on this globe."

As orman Cousins wrote in InPlace ofFolly: "Life is made possi­ble by the most precarious balanc­ing act in the universe ...

"The folly now clearly within thereach of man is the decimation ofthe human species and, indeed, therejection of many of those vital envi­ronmental conditions that make lifeon this planet possible."

Man is assaulting the earth asnever before. Mankind as a wholestill refuses to address the mysteryof human existence.

Only if mankind understands hisultimate destiny could he take thesteps to truly control science. Oth­erwise God will have to save us fromourselves.

was bad science-the wrong use oftechnology. But will good science,properly administered, solve theproblem?

Another part of Mrs. Thatcher'sspeech gets considerably closer tothe nub of the problem. "Since thebeginning of civilization the maindamage to our way of life has comefrom human malevolence and de­structiveness." True.

But how is science going to solve"human malevolence and destruc­tiveness"-a problem that is spiri­tual at its roots?

This brings up another aspect ofthe problem. The Western worlddoes not look to biblical authority asa solution to its problems.

Secular man is the mover andshaker of society. Science and allother by-products of this secularage are conceived of as the onlyagents to bring about changes forthe better.

Will more judicious use of thescientific method usher in utopianconditions?

the District. Now some want toreestablish greater federal control.

Sen. Warren Rudman of NewHampshire would like to see a fed­eral constabulary police the Dis­trict.

Mr. Rudman complains of"blood running in the streets" of thecapital. A Los Angeles Times ac­count related that "the blood bath isoverwhelming. Drug peddlers killcompetitors over a disrespectfulstare." (Crack users are notoriouslyill-tempered and aggressive.)

The reference to incessant blood­shed can be found in prophecy.Hosea 4:1-2 reveals that there is "notruth or mercy or knowledge ofGodin the land [but rather] killingand stealing with bloodshed af-ter bloodshed" (New King James).

The spilling of blood, Scripturereveals, defiles the land (Numbers35:33) as do abominable sexualpractices (Leviticus 18:1-25).

God warned our forefathers thatthey should not defile the land "lestthe land vomit you out also whenyou defile it, as it vomited out thenations [in Canaan] that were be­fore you" (Leviticus 18:28, NKJ).

DefIling the land is cause for na­tional expulsion-it is that serious.

European Diary

LONDON-Prime MinisterMargaret Thatcher's governmentwas host to a world conferenceMarch 5 to 7 about the global threatto the ozone layer.

Prince Charles and Mrs.Thatcher were the chief speakers.This attention heightened aware­ness of the problem's seriousness.

Ozone friendly?

The rrrst day was spent arguingabout whether this or that chemicalharms the ozone layer. The directorof the Dutch Aerosol Associationassured me that 95 percent of aero­sols made in the Netherlands arenow ozone friendly. He may beright.

But something is harming theozone layer. There is almost univer­sal agreement that chlorofluorocar­bons (CFCs), used mainly in manu­facturing refrigerators and airconditioners, are damaging toozone.

According to the Feb. 26 SundayTelegraph: "In the upper atmo­sphere they [CFCs] are brokendown by short-wave ultra-violetlight from the sun. Chlorine is thenreleased in a form which destroysozone in the particular conditions ofextreme cold high above the poles."

The Finaru:ial Times headline,"Solutions Elude Delegates, ButEvent Is 'Success,' " was instruc­tive. But publicity alone will notsolve the problem. As The IrishTimes pointed out, "An ozonefriendly world is a long way off."

Speedy solutions are hard tocome by. Many Third World na­tions want the prosperity of theWest. Take the People's Republicof China. Naturally the Chinesewant a refrigerator in every home.

Is this possible without the in­creased use of CFCs? The debategoes on.

The prime minister's closing ad­dress focused attention on solutions.She said, "The same painstakingscientific method which has solvedso many problems in the past willsolve these new problems of today."

If hope is waning in your life,maybe it's because you're not dig­ging into the Scriptures. Weabound in joy and peace and hopethrough the power of the HolySpirit.

As Romans 15:13 says, "Now theGod of hope fill you with all joy andpeace in believing, that ye mayabound in hope, through the powerof the Holy Spirit."

Faith and hope are tied together.You are not going to have hopewithout faith.

When things are tough, we alltend to get discouraged and feel likeletting down. This is wrong!

Times of discouragement are theworst times for a Christian to slowdown. The best spiritual cure fordiscouragement is to double andtriple your efforts!

Our goal should be to experiencesomegrowth~ven if it's small-tocalm our fears and motivate us tokeep growing and developing Chris­tian character.

We must keep pushing forward.We must keep on keeping on towardour goal. Every time you take actionto gain God's own positive perspec­tive, you're adding another buildingblock to the structure ofyour Chris­tian growth.

Yes, the promises are there in theBible for us: "Have I not com­manded you? Be strong and coura­geous. Do not be terrified; do not bediscouraged, for the Lord your Godwill be with you wherever you go"(Joshua 1:9, New InternationalVersion).

Drug related crime is by nomeans limited to the cities. owcome reports of a tremendous surgein the manufacture and use of crank(as opposed to crack), primarily inrural areas.

Crank, or methamphetamine, is amore potent version of the speed ofthe 1960s. It is manufactured fromreadily available chemical sources.There is no way the United Statescan pin the blame on othercountriesfor this scourge.

"This is our domestically pro­duced cocaine," said Ray McKin­non, chief of the dangerous drugsdesk of the U.S. Drug EnforcementAdministration.

One of the crank capitals of thecountry is the region around Tyler,Tex. (20 miles from AmbassadorCollege's Big Sandy campus). Thearea's rural surroundings are idealfor setting up clandestine laborato­ries.

PASADENA-In his inauguraladdress in January, U.S. PresidentGeorge Bush appealed to his coun­trymen to join him in building a"kinder, gentler America."

This phrase entered the public'svocabulary, but the message thePresident intended is not gettingthrough. All across the country,America's cities are turning into ur­ban combat zones.

In metropolitan Los Angeles oneweekend in March, 17 people weremurdered, most of them in gang-re­lated activities. The Monday morn­ing Los Angeles Times is often thegrimmest issue of the week, withtragic stories of children killed inthe cross fire of gang wars.

Much of the mayhem is directlytied to the appalling traffic in drugs,especially cocaine and its highly ad­dictive, but cheaper derivative,crack.

Police chiefs across the nation ad­mit they are losing the war againstdrug dealers who stake out and pro­tect their territories by using pow­erful automatic and semiautomaticrifles. Outmanned and outgunnedpolice forces are being retrained touse the same type weapons.

Even where no deaths are in­volved, drugs are disrupting civicservices. Here in Pasadena, 40 cityemployees were suspended on alle­gations of drug use and sales on cityproperty. The operations of an en­tire city department have been seri­ously impaired.

The little boy was afraid of thedark and didn't want to go into theold-fashioned, spooky pantry alone.He pleaded his case with zeal:"Mommy, I scared."

His mother responded: "Mark,be a big, brave boy and just walk inthere and get it. Mommy needs itright away for the food I'm prepar­ing."

Little Mark repeated his greatfear: "Mommy, I too scared to go inthere by self."

This time mother used a differentplan of action: "It's OK. son. Godwill be in there with you. Now yougo and get Mother the soup,please."

Mark went to the door andopened it slowly. Eyes wide, hepeeked inside. It was a pitch-darkroom, and he was scared.

His hands trembled, but an ideapopped into his quick little brain.He said in a soft whisper, "God, ifyou are in there, would you hand methat can of mushroom soup,please?"

"We want to make sure the stu­dent body feels and sees StudentServices ... as a place where theycan come, where there is a friendlyand warm atmosphere."

Mr. Albrecht's' office is ladenwith plaques and sayings such as, "Ido not have the right to deny you theconsequences of your actions."

Another of Mr. Albrecht's dutiesis serving under Dr. Ward as theminister of the Pasadena Ambas­sador College student body.

"It is the duty of the Student Ser­vices area, specifically the dean ofstudents, to provide for the spiritualwell-being of the studentbody ... and to advise the presidentof the college on matters of needs,moods, problems and so on."

Mr. Albrecht also administersthe student center, health center,and Music Department. He is as­sisted by Gary Richards, associatedean.

Under the umbrella of academicaffairs, Lynn Torrance serves asregistrar and director ofadmissions.

Dr. Torrance was appointed reg­istrar in Big Sandy in 1967 and reas­sumed the office when the campusreopened in 1981.

"We are primarily the keeper ofall the records for the college," saidGary Shaffer, associate registrar.Each semester the Registrar's Of­fice prepares course offerings andscheduling for the coming semes­ter.

talks to one of the administrators inBig Sandy almost every day on thetelephone.

To strengthen unity between thetwo campuses, administrators andfaculty participate in a faculty ex­change program. While visiting theother campus, they speak in classesand weekly forums and assemblies.

There are three principal com­mittees for the Pasadena campus:admissions and retentions, curricu­lum, and student development.

The student development com­mittee discusses the progress of stu­dents individually.

"I regret having very little timefor student interaction and counsel­ing," said Dr. Ward.

"One of my favorite sayings isthat we learn method and not con­tent," said Dr. Ward. "I want thestudents to learn how to learn forthe rest of their lives and to developthe kind of inner substance that isreflective of Christ and the way oflife He has taught."

South Pacific Feasts

PERSONAL(Continued from page 1)

held His glory, the glory as ofthe only begotten of the Father,full of grace and truth ... Forthe law was given throughMoses, but grace and truth camethrough Jesus Christ" (John1:14,17, ew King Jamesthroughout).

Jesus made grace possible.Grace comes from the Greekword charis. meaning gift or fa­vor. And it is by God's grace,His gift or favor, that we are ableto be delivered from death.God's grace is indeed the ulti­mate grace. His plan of salvationis so merciful and undeservedthat no unmerited gift could everbe greater than this one.

God's gifts to us, His grace,given without our having doneanything to earn or deservethem, form the incredible pro­cess we call salvation. Let's re­view some of those gifts:

God has given us a callingwhereby we can begin to under­stand His plan and ultimate pur­pose for mankind. He has givenus the sEiritual motivation to be­gin the process of repentance, orchange in thinking and living,even before baptism. He hasgiven us iustification, the acquit-

tal or forgiveness of past sin, ineffect, washing us clean throughthe blood of Christ.

Through the sacrifice ofChrist, He also gives us~ued unmerited don for sin, solong as we remain repentant andfaithful to Him, throughout theremainder of our lifetimes. Hegives us the Holy Spirit to con­vict us of sin and lead us throughlife to bring our thoughts andactions into harmony withGod-and to trust Him in every­thing, as Abraham did.

He gives us~ and assur­~ that we will one day inheriteternal life in splendid joy andpeace as His children despitewhatever trial, persecution orsuffering we may face in thislife. He even gives us physical_blessin s and protection in thisIfe.

And at last, at the return ofChrist, He will give us the real­ity of a ~nd and bodythrough a resurrection from thedead.

We are fully and totally de­pendent upon God. Our future,everything about us, is in Hishands. These gifts He gives be­cause He loves us. We couldnever earn them in a thousandlifetimes of commandment keep­ing. They are ours because ourFather is love.

As recipients of such magnifi­cent grace, it behooves us to walkin the footsteps of the Authorand Finisher of our salvation, Je­sus Christ.

We must "walk worthy of thecalling" which we've been given(Ephesians 4:\). And if we arewalking worthy of that calling,we will be walking with "all low­liness and gentleness, with long­suffering, bearing with one an­other in love, endeavoring tokeep the unity of the Spirit inthe bond of peace" (verses 2 and3).

Our minds have been renewedif indeed Christ lives in us, andwe will not be conformed to thisworld. Rather, we'll be trans­formed into a kind of new cre­ation, a creation that is devotedto pleasing our al1-powerful,merciful Father who has freelygiven us everything that pertainsto life and godliness (Romans12:1-2, II Peter 1:3-4).

The incredible inheritance HehllS reserved for us, totally unde­served on our parts, is permanentand eternally secure (I Peter 1:3­5). Our indebtedness to God forHis indescribable grace shouldmotivate us to strive to showourselves eternally grateful, todevote ourselves to pleasingHim, to following Him, to livingby every word He speaks.

In fact, our conduct, and evenmore, our very thinking and mo­tivation, will reflect the life andmind of Jesus Christ if we areunder God's grace. Our Hves willno longer be conformed to ourformer selfish lusts and incen­tives, but to the generous will ofGod.

We have been redeemed byChrist's own blood from our ownformer ways and attitudes of cer­tain death. How grateful weshould be for all God has givenus!

Let's think about these thingsas we focus on the Passover andDays of Unleavened Bread.

Brethren, I must also urge youto pray for the Work's income!We do need a definite upturnsoon in order to maintain currentlevels of operation. I don't, and Iknow you don't, want to see themagazines or the telecast have tobe cut back.

But unless the income picturechanges soon, they, along withnumerous other programs, willhave to be cut back to meet in­come levels.

Already, I have had to place anumber of things on hold, in­cluding the hiring of a number of

this year's Ambassador· gradu­ates, until we see whether theincome begins to pick up.

Let's each do what we can,brethren, and let's prayearnestly. We need to be sureour hearts really are in what Godis doing, instead of al10wingourselves to become overlycaught up in the things of thisworld.

The Work is being done. Butwithout the necessary income, itwill have to be done on a lesserscale, and just at a time whenopportunities for even greatergrowth in Europe are beginningto open up! We cannot walkthrough doors if the financesaren't there. But the God weserve, and whose Work we aredoing, can and will supply ourevery need.

But, brethren, God also wantsto know how much it means tous! Therefore, let's come unit­edly before Him in prayer, andlet's analyze our lives, to be surewe are pleasing Him in our atti­tudes and conduct.

Thank you for your unceasingdevotion and love. Your lettersand notes of support and encour­agement are deeply appreciated!

Ambassador helps studentsachieve long-term objectives

One of the problems that parents andyoungsters of the Church have had towrestle with is an antieducational bias.When people are not convinced that theyshould pursue higher education, it is diffi­cult for them to set long-term educationaland career goals.

Monday, April 3, 1989

By Doaald WardPASADE A-We are experi­

encing excellent returns fromalumni and Youth OpportunitiesUnited (YOU) surveys.

Donald Ward is president ofAmbassador College.

An overwhelming number ofalumni expressed how valuabletheir Ambassador College educa­tion was in preparing them to secureand perform their jobs successfully.

In several cases the respondentsindicated that although additionaltechnical training was required tosecure their jobs, their Ambassadoreducation helped them in a varietyof ways.

Several alumni mentioned lead­ership skills such as speaking, writ­ing and organizational ability cou­pled with poise and character asbeing especially beneficial. In addi­tion to the leadership and communi­cation skills, the value of a liberalarts education should be noted.

At this crucial juncture of his­tory, Western society is crying outfor moral and ethical responsibilityin politics, business and religion.

U.S. President George Bush isemphasizing ethics. Congress is de­manding that presidential ap­pointees measure up to certain stan­dards.

American businessmen are seek­ing men and women who have a lib­eral arts background coupled withtechnical training and expertise.Colleges and universities are offer­ing more and more courses in theliberal arts and leadership training.

Peadulum swings backThis is not the first time that the

pendulum has swung in the direc­tion of the liberal arts. Educationphilosophies and curricula aresomewhat akin to economics intheir cyclic natures.

Beginmng some10 years ago, tileUnited States set out to surge aheadof other nations in research andtechnology. Americans were thefIrst to walk on the moon.

American fIrms began to developsophisticated computer and com­munication systems. From theWhite House to neighborhood gro­cery stores, technologists wereneeded.

Colleges and universities havefeverishly attempted to stay abreastof the greatest technological revolu­tion that the world has witnessed.

A new prosperity fueled the Yup­pie (young urban professional)movement. Young Americans be­came more interested in makingmoney than in creating a new soci­ety. The marketplace demandedcomputer programers, systems ana­lysts and managerial experts.

As society turned toward tech­nology and materialism, the impor­tance of the liberal arts faded. Afterall, you needed a technical educa­tion to make large sums of money.When the great lessons of historyand literature are ignored, mankindis doomed to repeat the mistakes ofthe past.

Timeless ,aIuesFor more than 40 years the basic

educational philosophy of Ambas-

sador College has not changed. Am­bassador College has sought to re­capture and teach true values.

The twofold purpose of teachingstudents how to live and how tomake a living continues to thepresent. True ycdu~ are tnnc}ess,regardless of political, economicand social trends. So AmbassadorCollege continues to be on the cut­ting edge of educational trends.

The WORLDWIDE NEWS

For the fiTSt 20 years of the col­lege, most of the graduates werehired directly into the Work. Dur­ing this time the college did an ade­quate job of teaching students howto make a living.

In addition, the majority of stu­dents who came to the college upuntil the early '70s were not second­generation Christians.

A signifIcant number of themhad already earned college credit orhad vocational training. They cameto Ambassador principally for thepurpose of learning how to live.

Preparing for job market

Today more than 75 percent ofAmbassador College students aresecond-generation Christiansstraight out of high school. In addi­tion, the Work will be hiring pro­portionally fewer students duringthe foreseeable future. Thus thecollege is developing plans to helpstudents to be even more preparedto make a living.

Chancellor Joseph W. Tkach hastaken several steps during the pastyear to accomplish this goal. First,both campuses of the college are de-

veloping dynamic Career ServicesDepartments.

Career Services has already be­gun to administer interest invento­ries to entering freshmen in an at­tempt to help students to thinkseriously about how 'they want tomake a living. Aptitude tests willalso be administered when a batteryof suitable tests are located.

Moreover, contacts are being

made with prospective employers,and a few of them have visited thecampus. Some have already con­ducted interviews on campus.

The job certification program hasbeen successfully launched. We arereceiving positive feedback from su­pervisors and students. These cer­tifIcates will help to equip studentswith additional proof of trainingand competence in a wide range ofjobs.

A vital step in helping studentsprepare for the job market was thedecision to pursue accreditation.Ambassador College has long pro­vided students with an excellent lib­eral arts education coupled withleadership training that cannot beobtained from any other institutionof higher education that I know of.

Accreditation will make it mucheasier for our graduates to continuestudy in their area of specializationor enter graduate school withouthaving to repeat requirements.

liberal arts and technical training

In addition to providing a solidliberal arts education, Ambassadorprovides students with excellentprograms in computer informationsystems and business administra­tion.

While some institutions are justbeginning to combine the liberalarts with technical training, Am­bassador is already combining theseareas.

Ambassador graduates will be onpar with most graduates ofother in­stitutions when it comes to long­term potential for professional andpersonal growth.

5

Moreover, graduates will possessvital dimensions of spiritual under­standing that are missing at othereducational institutions. Spiritualeducation will continue to be thecentral focus of an Ambassador ed­ucation.

Based on some of the commentswe have received from the alumniand YOU surveys, it seems thatlarge numbers of parents andyoungsters are not aware of the vari­ety of programs that are offered atAmbassador College.

In addition, it seems that somemembers are not aware of the typeof education that will be needed inthe future.

An article in The Wall StreetJournal described the education ofthe executive of the year 2000 asfollows: "His undergraduate degreeis in French literature, but he alsohas a joint [masters in business ad­ministration] and engineering de­gree. He started in research and wasquickly picked out as a potential[chief executive officer). He speaksPortuguese and French."

This type of education is in keep­ing with the Ambassador model ofcombining the liberal arts with ar­eas of specialization. Of course,Ambassador will not be able to offerspecialized training in several areas.However, the liberal arts founda­tion will be fIrmly established and,it is hoped, accredited.

The graduate will then be able topursue employment or further edu­cation fully confIdent that he or sheis on an equal footing with gradu­ates from other colleges and univer-

Please include the name of thephotographer when you submit photos for use in The World­wide News (except announcement photos). We want to givecredit where credit is due!

and youngsters of the Church havehad to wrestle with is an antieduca­tional bias. When people are notconvinced that they should pursuehigher education, it is difficult forthem to set long-term educationaland career goals.

Mr. Tkach is effectively elimi­nating the antieducational bias inthe Church and college. Ambas­sador students are being taught tothink big. They are being encour­aged not to limit their career goalsjust because they are in the Church.To the contrary, this should givethem a terrific advantage.

Society is crying out for men andwomen of substance and characterwho possess leadership qualities.The potential for former and futureAmbassador graduates is limitedonly by their vision of the future. Anumber of employers have told usthat they will hire as many Ambas­sador graduates as we can provide.

Parents and youngsters need tobe aware of the educational pro­grams and benefits of Ambassador.They need to be prepared to face thechallenging years that lie ahead.

By all of us working together,Ambassador College can becomethe kind of institution that will meetthe needs of secondo, third- andfourth-generation Christians.

youths develop goals and ambitionearly in life. We teach Ambassadorstudents that Matthew 6:33 ("seekye first the kingdom of God, and hisrighteousness") should be at the topof their list of life's goals.

We also are beginning to focus onthe fact that our young people canbecome competent professionals atthe top of their professions.

Based oncomments from alumni,we know that Ambassador can actu­ally aid them in achieving some oftheir goals. However, many of ouryoungsters are limited by a lack ofvision. We need to encourage themto set goals and develop plans forachieving those goals.

Our counseling is beginning toreflect these changes. Instead of"take advantage of every opportu­nity," we are asking students to takea look at how the opportunities atAmbassador can help them toachieve longer-range goals, and so"take advantage of relevant oppor­tunities" reflects this approach.

We are planning to write articlesthat will aid parents and ministers inassisting young people in the devel­opment of goals. As mentioned, thecollege is already taking steps tohelp students begin to formulateconcrete career goals.

One of the problems that parents

receive by the fall.Imperial Schools has used soup

labels to obtain studio camera carts,computer tables and playgroundequipment and will continue to col­lect labels for next year.

Ifyou have Campbell's or Camp­bell Cousin soup labels (see theDec. 12, 1988, Worldwide News fora description of usable labels),please send them to ImperialSchools, c/o Scott Lord, 300 W.Green St., Pasadena, Calif., 91129.

cated that their educational goalswere not clearly focused.

Many of the youngsters indicatedthat they wanted to attend Ambas­sador because "it's always been adream of mine" or "my sister wentand she turned out okay" or "I en­joyed summer camp so much I'dlike to be in that atmosphere all thetime."

Fewer wrote about how Ambas­sador could assist them in theachievement of their long-termgoals and objectives.

Several alumni mentioned thatthey didn't clearly see the benefit ofthe Ambassador education until af­ter they got into their careers.

Only at that time-in many casesfive or six years after graduation­did some alumni sense how theirAmbassador education set themapart and helped them become suc­cessful. We would like to acceleratethis whole process significantly.

Are parents helping their chil­dren to see the big picture? The re­sponses to the two surveys indicatethat the answer is no.

Does it make sense that youngpeople can say on one hand, "I willsomeday be a king or priest," and onthe other hand say, "I haven't a cluewhere I am heading in life"?

Because of distance and a "slowpace of life that even visitors fromother parts of Canada notice,"church activities are limited, Mr.Kost said.

"Finances are also tight for most.Although Nova Scotia is the mostwell-off of the Maritime Provinces,it is poorer than the other Canadianprovinces," Mr. Kost said."Brethren look for activities thatare free, and they like to have othermembers over."

Members work in shipping,forest management and various oc­cupations. A few are commercialfishermen.

"In Halifax, most of the brethrenare white-collar workers. In Digbythey are mostly blue collar, but byno means exclusively," said Mr.Kost.

Several members are self-em­ployed in businesses such as con­struction and landscaping. One cou­ple, Vern and Susan Rowe, arebuilding up a business raising quail,pheasant and other game birds.

The Rowes received a govern­ment grant to get started. They haveabout 280 quail and 400 eggs in thehatchery, along with about 50pheasants.

who had learned English in jail byreading smuggled portions of the

ew Testament," said Mr. Grauel."He learned of the Church

through another prisoner's ...Good News magazine. He waitedseveral more years before he was al­lowed to post a letter to us, whichwas on the day of his release."

Mr. Grauel continued: "When Imet him in the lobby of the hotel, hecried and hugged me. The manseems to show excellent under­standing. He ... is now marriedwith a 2-year-old son and anotherchild due next month. His wife,whom I did not meet, appears to alsobe quite interested."
